Day 1 - Pool Session and Ocean Dive

We begin with a pool session in the morning, where you’ll get familiar with your scuba gear and practice essential underwater skills in a safe, controlled environment with your instructor.

In the afternoon, it’s time for your first open water dive in the stunning waters around Gili Air. You’ll explore up to a depth of 12 meters (40 feet) and apply the skills you’ve learned and get comfortable in the water, always with your instructor by your side.

Day 2 – More Pool Skills + Last Ocean Dive

The morning starts with another pool session, where you’ll build on your skills and become even more comfortable underwater.

After the pool session, you’ll head out for your last open water dive.

After your last dive, you’ll officially be a certified PADI Scuba Diver—ready to explore dive sites around the world (under the direct supervision of a PADI Instructor, Divemaster, or Assistant Instructor to a maximum depth of 12 meters - 40 feet)
