2 Dives
Depending on your certification level (we recommend being an Advanced Open Water Diver (equivalent) or above), you’ll dive into the waters around the Gili Islands and enjoy more time at depth exploring the reefs, wrecks, and marine life with Nitrox. During the dives, you'll learn how to:
Set and use your dive computer for Nitrox: You'll program your computer with the correct oxygen percentage and monitor your no-decompression limits throughout the dive.
Track and stay within your oxygen exposure limits: You'll keep an eye on your PPO2 (partial pressure of oxygen) and follow best practices for staying within safe dive limits.
Dive with awareness of extended bottom time: Experience firsthand how Nitrox allows for longer dives—especially at moderate depths—while still staying well within safe no-decompression limits.
Log and verify your Nitrox dive profile: After the dive, you'll log the oxygen percentage used, your maximum depth, and exposure time, just like you would on any Nitrox dive.
Diving time commitment: 1 Day
