Compass Diving organises diving trips in the capital of the country and it’s outskirts, as well as Atauro Island.
This shore diving tour is based on the shore of Dili. Dili is well known, for Example, for the diversity of marine creatures. Did you see the Frogfish, the Rinopias or the acclaimed ornate Ghost Pipe fish? These are just a few examples of the beautiful creatures native to our mainland shore.
If you’re lucky, you may find the famous and endangered Dugong while diving. They are more common on the mainland coasts.
For all the Shark Lovers, the good News is that the most shark dense point is in front of the central government palace. A deep pinnacle, perfect for advanced divers wanting to meet the black tip reef sharks residents of the area.
Near Dili are also some of the best known diving sites, such as K41, where a ship has been purposely sunk by the Timor-Leste Navy. You can get your padi wreck speciality, or performing some adventure wreck dives.
If you are interested in a road trip, make the backpack and embark with us in a morning to soak and explore the surroundings of Dili and some of the most beautiful dives in Timor.
Get in touch with us, our team will design a plan that fits your taste. Wishes and needs to make your experience in Timor an unforgettable adventure!

What to Expect:
Incredible experience with Compass on an immersive whale watching experience! Classy operation making safety, the environment, and the animals top priority. Unbelievable time swimming with Pygmy Blue whales 🐋 🐳 Really appreciated the briefing prior to the experience too. Must do when in Timor Leste. Highly recommend!
Wonderful place to stay for a young family. Patrick and Jana took us all diving and snorkeling. Jana did a wonderful job looking after our kids so my wife and I could dive with Patrick. Both Hana and Patrick made the evenings so much fun with card and dice games.
Our kids didn’t want to leave. Thanks guys for the memories!
Excellent diving experience and relaxing atmosphere, hard to leave. Cheap and close to Darwin for anyone interested.
Mel was amazing, she answered my many questions with patience and enthusiasm.
The dive was unbelievable – so much diversity of coral and fish. Mel had a very calming presence and I felt very safe with her. Thanks so much for an awesome time! I hope to be back one day 🐠🪸
