On 17th May 2019, we were informed about compulsory entry ticket for diving and snorkeling in Gili islands (Trawangan, Meno and Air). Entry ticket is compulsory for all water activities in the protected marine area of the Gili islands
Price of the entry ticket – Marine fee of the Gilis
The rate is currently: Rp100,000 per diver, snorkeler or passenger.
Additional responsibilities for a dive center :
- to register all our divers, snorkelers (2 times, on-line and manually !)
- to collect the payment of the marine fee from each and every person on the boat
- report the registered people and pay the amount collected to BKKPN office EVERY day.
Validity of the entry ticket
Currently, the amount Rp100,000 apply to per person, per stay and per dive center.
So the law is, you have to pay again if :
- you come back to Gili – Sire beach (North-west of Lombok). For example, you go to visit south Lombok, Bali… (somewhere else) and come back to Gili for diving.
- you change dive center during your stay.
We have some dive sites in Pantai Sire, not in the Gilis, if you dive only in these dive sites, you don’t have to pay the marine fee.
Number of dives per ticket
The amount is the same regardless of :
- number of dives,
- number of diving days,
- the level of the divers.
- diving activities (discover diving, fun dives, courses, snorkeling)
If you dive one time or 10 times, you pay the same amount.
