Dive Zultha

Dive Zultha sits in the heart of Senggigi on Lombok, in Indonesia's Gili Islands region — a stretch of coast where the three Gilis, Trewangan, Meno and Air, are ringed by clear water throughout the year. The team calls their base the Temple of Zultha, and the whole operation is built around one idea: a safe, friendly, easygoing place to dive, whatever your level of experience.

Courses, marine life and who it suits

As a PADI Dive Center with two PADI instructors, Zultha runs PADI scuba diving for divers across every stage of competence. There's an onsite classroom for theory, a dive boat to reach the sites, and scuba equipment rental if you're travelling light. A dive club, food and drinks, and free Wi-Fi round out the base. With staff speaking English, Mandarin, Malay, Tamil and Indonesian, it's an easy fit for an international crowd.

Beneath the surface, the waters here hold sharks, whales, turtles and rays, alongside ocean fish, eels and echinoderms, plus other marine mammals and reptiles. It's a good match for anyone who wants relaxed, well-supported diving in the Gilis — from first-timers in the classroom to certified divers chasing the bigger residents.
