Our happy clients

I spent a few days diving with DTL – absolutely not enough to fully enjoy the great sites along the coast!  I feel privileged having had the pleasure of diving with Stephanie and Juvi, two true artists in spotting the critters.

The professional and friendly staff and appropriate facilities for both accommodating guests and diving, combined with Castaway bar, create the best possible surroundings for a successful diving holiday.

Thanks DTL for an awesome Divemaster Internship!  It's been a really busy few months here, and I have learnt a huge amount and had some fantastic opportunities to explore and work around the amazing dive sites in Timor Leste.

The chance to learn from all the different instructors here and the support I have had, has made this an amazing training experience going from a recreational diver to a pro.  Cheers guys!!

We have just returned home after diving with Dive Timor Lorosae for 2 weeks and had a wonderful time there. Would like to say a special thanks to Rita for organising our stay, Simon for organising our diving (we never had to dive the same site twice) & Filo (driver) for all his safe driving. The accommodation was clean and comfortable and Castaways was a great place to spend an evening.

Thanks again!
