There are many. I would recommend one of the diving outfits. Book it when you are there, check out the boat and ensure that there is a life jacket for everyone.
We went on one of the trips and on the way back the waves were so huge that I thought there was no way we would survive. This is the rip off Gili T. When we got back to shore the captain told us the public ferry had sunk the day before. I'm not sure if this happens all year round or is just tidal for a particular season.
I don't want to be an alarmist and I would do the trip again - it was a fantastic day out, but no way would I step on the boat without a life jacket. Snorkelling with the turtles was unreal.
