Blue Marlin Dive Resort Trawangan

Gili T was excellent. The dive shop and staff were wonderful.

Very over priced for what it is. Tv didn’t work bathroom smelt like sewerage which stunk the room out.

Where to begin.. Just two young entousiastic people willing to get to know more about the underwater world. We wanted to do this right so we looked for a PADI certified diving school with good references. We quickly got in touch with Blue marlin Dive At Gili T(rawagan). We got in contact with them via e-mail, a quick and friendly response from Lauren helped us in the right direction. We got started with the E-learning during our first couple of weeks in Bali when we had the time, not fully finsihed but on schedule we started the practical training. There is a nice and busy atmosphere at the diving center and we got to meet our dive Instructor Grant Halsey. Entousiastic and charismatic but down to earth men who introduced us to our fellow students. Right a way we formed a group (4 people + Grant in total). PADI stands for a quality level so we had to meet with the standards, always with the help of Grant but fully involved we completed the first two days all the enclosed pool skills and went out from r our first open water dives, the first of many to come. As the course evolved, we did to. The passion for diving that you can smell in the air at Blue Marlin got to us, late on first day we finished the last theory and did the exam so we could link this during diving and could focus more on the practical parts. Due to all the practical tips and tricks from Grant we went on 4 educative and mesmerizing dives to finally get open water diver certified, and we did! We canceled our trip to Nusa islands to maximize our time in the Gilis. We decided to start with the first two out of five dives for the advanced course. Again Grant was by our sides to educate and stimulate us. A fantastic deep- and night adventure dive was the perfect end of our first chapter of exploring the underwater world. 4 days of being humble, great full, inspired and many more feelings. Thanks to blue Marlin, the staff and especially Grant for being who they are. Keep doing what you'are doing and you'll never be forgotten For info They have everything in house for beginning divers to expierienced ones, including there own tech diving division!

What an adventure! Sascha & I started our journey on the 1th of october! The goal was finishing thr PADI Open Water Diver course! What it became... was finishing our Open Water Dive, a Fun dive, a Deep Adventure Dive and the cherry on top of the cake: a Night Dive! Already the beginning to our Advance Course, that we will complete as soon as we can! Of course we couldn't have done this all without our fantastic instructor GRANT! Grant is only 30 years old and dives already 20 years!! With his tons of experience, he teached us a lot of the skills, tips and trics! This with all his patience and kindness. He gave us a safe feeling during the courses by giving us clear instructions and being so taughtful ! You can sing along with him the whole day, that's the only thing you need to deal with! 😅 It was a perfect example how it should be. We couldn't image it was going to be like this! Always a big party on the boat, on our way to the next awesome driving spot at Gilis! 'Cause baby, there ain't no mountain high enough. Ain't no valley low enough, ain't no river wide enough. To keep me from getting to GRANT & BLUE MARLIN HOTEL GILI TRAWANGAN, baby! 💛' Also a BIG shout out to all the staf up there in the Blue Marlin! They're all so kind and helpfull before and during our stay. It's a peacefull and lovely place to be around! Good food, good sleep and good people. Nothing else that you need! And when you're in for a 'little' party, you can join them every monday! 🎉 Lots of love, Sascha & Lisa 💛
