Superb! The technical training / refresher was all we needed. All security measures were properly instructed and checked in the pool and on the boat before each dive.
Diving wise, we were only 2 divers per instructor for the 4 dives we did, which made the whole experience just perfect.
We chose DSM Dive for our Open Water and we couldn't have made a better choice! The team is more than competent and welcoming (a big plus for the number of languages spoken by the members of this center) Clément (our instructor for 3 days) is a super passionate teacher who makes you want to discover even more about diving If you wish to pass your baptisms or your diving levels, do not hesitate to choose DSM
Had a great experience doing my refresher course and three dives with DSM. Was put at ease the moment I walked in, with Clement explaining to me all that I’d need. Thomas was a great instructor who was super thorough and positive when I did my refresher course and first dive after more than a year - putting my mind at ease. Also a massive shoutout to Maike who was attentive and encouraging when guiding me. Really lovely experience, 10/10 will recommend!
Top French diving center! I recommend 100%. It was our first baptism, slightly stressed and our “teachers” made us feel comfortable and confident. Pool training then 1 hour of diving in paradise… incredible time. Thanks again! Ps: we speak French, English and German there, practical.
Very good diving center. We did two dives with Thomas. He is great. Very attentive, reassuring and super professional. A big thank you also to Clément for his welcome! Stay as you are: This is the BEST. Little extra: the instructors speak French, which is a real plus for a first dive!
Highly recommend this company to dive with! They were all very experienced, friendly, and understanding especially if you have never dived or have little dive experience. They take small groups which makes it feel more personalised for you. Amazing sites to see!
The dive centre was incredible! I did my open water and Yohan my instructor was really helpful and calm and took his time with stuff if I was uncomfortable or concerned. The diving itself was amazing, the coral was beautiful and there was so many awesome things to see!
My wife and I booked 2 beginners dives with DSM as we had very little previous experience and wanted to feel out diving before committing to a certification. The pool training was concise and fun! We were quickly taught how to use equipment, and were able to get comfortable in the safety of the pool before hitting the ocean.
Our instructor Yohan had a great sense of humour, and made it a really fun and safe experience. We loved it so much we booked a third dive the next morning before leaving the island. For our third dive our instructor was Nolwen, she was amazing at pointing out marine life during the dive that we would have never seen ourselves. She even showed us all of the aquatic life we saw during our dive in a book after we were back at the dive shop.
DSM made this experience so great we are planning on completing our open water certification the next time we are able to dive.
Jede Tauchbasis auf Gili T hat Preisbindung, und fahren sowieso die gleichen Spots an, also kommt es nur auf die Personen an. Und ich muss sagen hier bin ich begeistert. Es gibt einen deutschen Instructor, wie auch Französisch und Englisch, noch weitere, die ich nicht weiß. Die Tauchbasis ist unter Französischer Leitung, ich kann die Menschen da nur empfehlen. Sie sind sehr hilfsbereit und erklären alles, wenn man ein wenig Zeit mitbringt kann man viel lernen. Würde auf jedenfall wieder hierher kommen, falla ich nochnal nach Gili T fahre.
After a 30 year gap between dives I choose DSM Dive on Gili Trawangan to do my refresher dive. It was a great experience. I dived with Yohan who managed to make me feel at ease despite my lack of experience, and I ended up coming back to Indonesia a few months later to do an Advanced Open Water Diver course, again with DSM and Yohan. I found it challenging yet exciting, and I really appreciate the way Yohan was able to guide me though the course with his infectious love of diving. The whole team at DSM are friendly and knowledgeable, and hanging around the dive centre talking with them about the different aspects of diving really helped boost my confidence and made me get the most out of the experience. I would definitely recommend DSM Dive, and look forward to coming back in the future to enjoy the awesome diving that Gili Trawangan has to offer while taking advantage of the professionalism and enthusiasm that all of the team at DSM exhibit
Very professional and helpful dive center that cater to your needs! They are very welcoming and had some great recommendations to where to go and what to eat on the island which made are stay on Gili T very enjoyable:)
Nous avons adoré nos 5 plongées chez DSM. Un staff adorable (merci à William et Hudari!), du bon matériel, et une connaissance tip top des spots qui nous ont permis de profiter de la belle faune et flore sous marine des îles Gili! Au top, si on retourne un jour à Gili on foncera chez DSM.
I was scared and uncomfortable to dive as I didn't have the best experiences earlier. But my instructor, Andre, was the best ever! He was very patient and made my diving experience comfortable and very enjoyable!:) I will surely do more dives thanks to him!
Tone, who is also part of the team is super and encouraged me to take the plunge by being very empathetic.
Absolut Top! Habe hier drei Fun dives gebucht. Jeder der drei Tauchspots war für sich einzigartig und hatte etwas zu bieten. Die Diving Instructors waren absolut professionell und sehr sympathisch. Spaß hat es ebenfalls gemacht! Danke an André für die tolle Beratung und die unkomplizierte und rasche Möglichkeit, drei super schöne Tauchgänge machen zu können.
Did the PADI open water course at DSM. Yulan is a great instructor, very knowledgeable and experienced. He could explain things very clearly (his English as good as his French) and made sure we understood all the theory. He was as patient as was needed if we made mistakes, for the theory as well as the dives, and made us feel secure under water. Next to the exercises, we saw a lot of great marine life underwater which Yulan pointed out for us. There was a very chill and friendly vibe, and the equipment was great. Would do my advanced course here straight away if I had some more time!
Very nice and professional instructors. Did two dives with them. They explained everything very well, and took us to great dive spots! Highly recommended!
Got my open water 2 years ago and after that I didn't make a dive. They took it very seriously and repeated theory and practiced after that in the water. I did one dive with instructor Kevin. We saw a whittip shark, a turtle, octopus, lionfish en many more.
Bad experience! A lot of group on the same boat with different level! The staff isn’t good except Kevin he is super! The equipment is old and the my don’t give you nothing, no coffe no water, nothing!
The dive was amazing! I dived with Kevin and Marian and they were really nice and professional. I always felt secure and they were also really good explaining everything we needed to know. I really recommend this places and these instructors!
Strongly recommend this one! Great experience with DSM diving, all staffs are super nice welcoming, our instructor Marien, very professional, nice, patient, explain clearly.we saw turtles during the discovery diving.next time, will be passing the certificate:)
Did the Open Water Certification here mid-May 2019 - Small groups, personal touch, big focus on safety, really good group of people. I highly recommend this place.
