For the boat trips with the open water dives, we go diving around all three Gili Islands, which offer a variety of dive sites around Gili Trawangan, Gili Meno and Gili Air. We choose the two best dive sites on a daily basis, depending on the ocean conditions, and each dive is up to one hour long.

We have a swimming pool where you will practice all the skills and procedures to ensure that you are comfortable with the equipment. You and your instructor will practice the skills together and we do not hesitate to take extra time as needed. For each skill, your instructor will explain the steps on the surface and then provide a slow demonstration underwater of exactly how to do the skill before you perform it yourself!

To complete your training you have to do 4 open water dives, the fun part! The first two dives will be to a maximum depth of 12m and next two dives will be to a maximum depth of 18m. At the beginning of each dive we will repeat a series of skills you already practiced during the confined sessions (it usually takes 5 - 10 minutes at the beginning of each dive). After we complete the skills, we go into exploratory mode and search for every kind of marine life you can imagine!
