Oceans 5 Gili Air, nestled in the heart of Gili Air and renowned as the sole PADI Career Development Centre on the island, offers a plethora of courses catering to divers eager to enhance their skills and knowledge.

1. PADI Advanced Open Water Course: The Advanced Open Water Course is a natural progression for those seeking to broaden their diving horizons. Consisting of five dives spread over 2-3 days, this course deepens your understanding of diving principles and techniques. While the deep adventure dive and underwater navigator adventure dive are mandatory, the remaining three dives are customizable based on your interests. Oceans 5’s instructors, adept in various adventure dives including Nitrox, Night, Fish ID, and Drift, ensure a tailored learning experience. With this certification, divers gain the ability to explore depths of up to 30 meters, unlocking new dimensions of marine life and underwater landscapes.
2. Peak Performance Specialty: Buoyancy control is a cornerstone of safe and enjoyable diving. The Peak Performance Specialty focuses solely on refining this crucial skill. Through two dives dedicated to buoyancy mastery, divers learn to glide effortlessly through the water, conserving energy and minimizing impact on the fragile marine ecosystem. This specialty, completed in a single day, empowers divers to navigate with grace and precision, enhancing their overall diving experience.
3. Nitrox Specialty: For those eager to extend their bottom time and reduce post-dive fatigue, the Nitrox Specialty presents an ideal choice. This dry course, devoid of actual dives, delves into the theory and application of enriched air nitrox diving. In just half a day, divers acquire the knowledge and certification necessary to safely utilize nitrox blends, opening up new possibilities for extended dive adventures and enhanced safety margins.
4. Deep Adventure Dive: Short on time but yearning to explore greater depths? The Deep Adventure Dive offers a convenient solution. With just one dive guided by an experienced instructor, accompanied by a knowledge review session, divers gain the credentials to descend to 30 meters. This condensed option provides a quick yet comprehensive introduction to deep diving, perfect for those with busy schedules or limited availability.

Whether you’re drawn to the allure of exploring deeper realms, honing your buoyancy skills, or maximizing your bottom time, Oceans 5 Gili Air offers a diverse array of courses tailored to suit your preferences and schedule.
