Drift Diving in Lembongan

By PADI, Underwater Life

Drift Diving

Lembongan is known for its drift diving. There are some ‘horror’ stories on the internet, from people that had an unfortunate dive in current. With the correct information, a knowledgeable dive centre and correct procedures, drift diving can be a lot of fun!

Some of the best coral reefs around the islands of Lembongan, Penida and Ceningan is on the north coast or in the channel between Ceningan and Penida. It is common off these parts of the islands, to find current. This current can range from close to no current at all, to a brisk push along the dive site.

The current is one of the main reasons that the coral reef is so healthy. This current brings nutrient rich waters to the area, which allows the coral reef to feed. Having a healthy coral reef provides homes for reef fish and juvenile fish. Having a coral reef that is full of fish, provides food for bigger predator fish. And all this together, creates our underwater ecosystem.

Welcome to the Team and Indonesian Diving – Ghiifari

By PADI, Updates

Welcome to the Team and Indonesian Diving - GhiifariWelcome to the Team Ghifari

Not only did we have an amazing diving week in Lembongan to start September off with a bang, we also would like welcome to the Team – Ghifari, ready to explore Indonesian diving.

Ghifari (A.K.A Gif or Gify) joined our team on the 2nd of September. Originally from West Surabaya, Indonesia, Gif left his home village and moved to Jakarta in 2010 to study. While in Jakarta, Gif completed his university studies in finance and accounting before starting work with an electric company, in the finance department.

It wasn’t long at his new job, that Gify realized that the office life was not really for him. With this, he started to look elsewhere for another opportunity. It was at this time that a friend of his, (who also turned out to be a friend of instructor Bryce’s) pointed Gif in the direction of the Twin Island Dive ad on Facebook. With this, Gif had the chance to explore Indonesian diving.

PADI 5 Star Dive Resort in Lembongan

By PADI, Updates
PADI Dive Resort in LembonganPADI 5 star dive resort in Lembongan and another dive shop, making it twice as easy to find us now!

A few months ago we let you know that we had been officially recognized by PADI when we received our ‘dive centre’ status off PADI. Which allows us to teach PADI courses under the name of Twin Island Dive.

Over the last few months we have been working hard to take our centre to the next level in the PADI system.

Depending on safety, quality, experience, knowledge and facilities, a centre is able to be recognized for the high standards that they are offering to their divers. Much like a PADI diver works their way from open water to advance through experience, knowledge and skills, a dive centre can climb the PADI ladder as well. Read More
