The International Rinjani Mountain Climbing event in Lombok Island, West Nusa Tenggara (NTB), is scheduled in July 2010, with more foreign mountain climbers taking part.

“I have several times coordinated preparations of the international event in Jakarta, and this time its schedule has been set in July 2010,” Head of the NTB Cultural and Tourism Agency Lalu Gita Ariadi said here Tuesday.

Ariadi said the organizers of the international event was set up by the Directorate General of Forest Protection and Natural Conservation (PHKA), of the Forestry Ministry.

Rinjani is the second highest volcano in Indonesia after Mt Kerinci (3,800 meters) in Sumatra, and has become very popular to local and foreign tourists visiting Lombok and the Gili islands.

The geo-tourism potentials include the beautiful cauldron, lake, peak, waterfalls, hot springs, caves, erruption history, blast-hole and new lava flow, and has therefore been suggested to become the first geopark in Indonesia.

The 3,726 meters high volcano had been suggested to be developed into Indonesia`s first geopark, or one of the 54 geoparks in 17 countries of the world.

Since placed under the management of RTMB, Rinjani had been several time been given national and international awards like the World Agency Award 2004 and the Tourism For Tomorrow Awards in 2006 and 2008.

The Rinjani Mountain Climbing will be started in mid-April to early in December, depending on weather conditions.

The route of the climb will reach Lake Segara Anak, by two routes namely the Senaru climb in 7-10 hours on foot covering eight kilometers, and Sembalun route in 8-10 hours.

Visitors who are already at Pelawangan would still need 4-5 hours to reach the peak of Rinjani through the climbing routes in forests.

Will Goodman aged 33, a TDI Advanced Tri-mix instructor and Buddy Rebreather Instructor with Blue Marlin Dive, Gili Trawangan, Indonesia went into the water at 08.11:33 hrs on the 7th January 2010 emerging at 08:20:16 hrs on the 9th January 2010

Will Goodman has previously made 2 unofficial world records. The first in 2005 when he spent 24 hours under water and a second in 2008 when he spent 33 hours underwater. This new record has been adjudicated and witnessed appropriately and will be registered with Guinness World Records™.

The support team for the dive included Simon Liddiard, owner of Blue Marlin Dive Centre and a team of PADI instructors from Gili Trawangan’s dive fraternity.
Witnessing the event included Tony Andrews from PADI.

Will’s dive was made using a combination of closed circuit rebreathers and open circuit scuba equipment. During the attempt Will was submerged to a depth exceeding 6m for the first 20 minutes of the record. He had no physical contact with the surface at anytime during his time underwater. His support crew replenished his air supply when necessary.

To enable Will to maintain a constant depth a metal frame was constructed. This provided a base point for Will and a crucial observation point for the support crew.

His previous records and training with the use of specialist equipment gave Will the ability to break the latest challenging record set by Robert Silva in Belize in September 2009 who managed 48 hours and 3 minutes.

Sponsorship from O’Three provided Will with a custom-made 7mm wetsuit, a crucial comfort that he did not have in previous attempts.

For entertainment an underwater housing was used for his iPod and his support crew entertained and supported him throughout and nutrition was provided in liquid form.

Next Clean Up Daywill be on the 9th of October: be ready to register and clean Trawangan island with the local kids from the school as well as with the support of SATGAS, Janur Indah, FMPL and many more residsents and businesses who care!

if you are a diver, get a free dive to collect marine debris and record your datas to PADI Project Aware. at the end of the day, we will meet up all together for a nice meal and party in Sama-Sama bar and Bungalows.

The Gili Eco Trust was set up in 2002 to support local efforts from SATGAS (local security) to protect the Gili islands. The seven dive centres of Gili Trawangan reached an agreement with a local organization and began collecting a small fee from each diver. The Eco Trust then established a cutting-edge reef restoration program.

The BioRock projects that lie directly off the beaches on the east of the island are artificial structures that stimulate coral growth with the use of a small electric current. The Gili islands are now home to twenty-one BioRock structures. Ask at your dive center for more information on this pioneering project.

Through the Gili Eco Trust, each diver continues to help to conserve our recovering marine environment; Eco Trust money supports local fishermen to enable them to fish further a field, taking pressure off the immediate area. As you dive or snorkel through the waters around these islands, you will see the evidence of marine populations recovering.

The Gili Eco Trust is currently expanding its programs. New directions include education and awareness initiatives, as well as projects that will help the local community to realise a sustainable future despite the pressure of increased visitor numbers. We are working to ensure that these islands will be able to support their communities while attracting international visitors for years to come. While your financial backing is vital in enabling us to continue our work, your behavior in terms of your impact on the island is even more important. On land please make sure that you use the bins provided for all your rubbish (including your cigarette ends!) and on your dives please be careful of where you are putting your fins and fingers. Remember that marine life is there to be observed and admired, not hassled or collected!

As you enjoy your time here, we ask you to be aware of how delicate this ecosystem is. Help us to ensure that future generations have this same privileged opportunity….

Apnea Total Instructor Mike Board will teach you breathing and relaxation techniques that will make you feel more comfortable holding your breath and allowing you to dive longer and go deeper. Whether you are interested in competitive apnea, spearfishing, or just improving your snorkelling and confidence underwater, FreeDiveGili is the ideal place for you to learn.

FREEDIVING although a relatively young sport is the oldest method of diving. It is the most natural way to experience the underwater world, swimming freely, silently and allowing you to get much closer to marine life without disturbing it.

Gili Trawangan has been one of Indonesia’s premier dive attractions for many years with its crystal clear waters, beautiful coral reefs and abundant marine life. This also makes it the perfect place to learn to freedive with beautiful dive sites only a walk off of the beach.

We had a fantastic time at Karma Kayak on Gili Trawangan, despite the rain, high seas and power outages -Grace and Astrid and their fantastic staff (Agus, Masrur and the rest of the wonderful team) made us very comfortable, the food was EXCELLENT and the bungalow and accommodations FIRST RATE! Definitely a place we will recommend to everyone.

And also your services -the Blue Safari boat trip was also comfortable and efficient, and if we had left it a few more days, we wouldn’t have ben able to make it across the strait, the waves were so high!

It was great to meet you at the dive shop in Kuta, you were very pleasant and helpful, and we really appreciate everything.

Best to you, your staff and your wonderful home of Indonesia!
