📸 — Gili Trawangan, Indonesia
Gili Trawangan or “Gili T” is one of three small islands beside each other. Mark flew out from New Zealand to meet us here for some scuba diving!
[Side note: He loved it so much that he ended up blindly signing up for his Master Diver’s and working on his highest level of suba-diving-ness…]
Gili T is a lot of fun and has incredible sunsets, awesome food and a ton of diving. Most tourists come for just a day or two to party.. but if you’re into diving... this place is heaven. There are 20 sites around the 3 islands all no more than 20 min away by boat. On one of our dives, we saw (I’m not joking..) 15 turtles!!! And one hit Maeghan in the back of her arm as it was pushing it’s way under her to get the perfect sunbathing / resting spot.
Indonesia has been one of the best places we’ve been able to dive and we ended up staying a week diving every day since it was cheap, full of so much life and way too much fun. Maeghan’s buoyancy has improved as well as her photography, so some of her turtle shots are ones she is really proud of.
At first we were nervous about leaving Bali and coming here since it’s currently Ramadan and we assumed most things would be closed (Indonesia is a mainly muslim country). But depending on where you stay, you can expect every night to hear equally loud music of the bars next door, and the sound of muslim prayers being recited all night through the speakers around the mosque that is right behind the bars. But beyond that... the island runs pretty much at full throttle.
On a separate note, during Ramadan there are far less tourists which makes everything about traveling more special as you feel sometimes like you are the only one 😊

Mark joined us in Gili T for a week of diving, and took some photos for 3rd person perspective!
On this dive, we saw 15 turtles :) The site was called “Turtle Heaven” Maeghan loves turtles, they are just too cute and fun to watch.
