Overview Adventure Course on Gili Meno

3 training dives – discover a variety of adventures and earn a certification

Want to continue your training, but don’t have time for the full PADI Advanced Open Water Course?

You can earn the Adventure Diver certification over a single day by completing 3 dives. Adventure Dives open up more diving possibilities and enhance your skills, as you are receiving formal training from an instructor. An Adventure Dive consists of some self-study e-learning materials, a theory lesson and a training dive. Our experienced and friendly dive instructors will help you choose the right specialties for you.

Chose your Adventure Dives here
Deep Dive (most popular, recommended)

Gain the knowledge, skills and experience to conduct a dive to 30m. The physics of diving you learnt during your Open Water Course is most important to understand when diving deep; your instructor will show you how pressure, temperature, colours and the human body is affected by increasing depth. Depth is limited to 21m for divers under 15 years old in line with PADI training standards.

Peak Performance Buoyancy / PPB (recommended)

Buoyancy is the most important aspect of diving, therefore most instructors strongly recommend completing this adventure dive. It is a perfect introduction to your course, as the techniques your learn will be used every time you enter the water. Improve your buoyancy, trim, comfort and control by focusing on breathing, buoyancy, positioning and finning techniques. We aim to increase your dive time by reducing your air consumption, and reduce the amount of weight you need to dive with.

Navigation Dive (recommended)

Embrace the challenge of navigating your own dive underwater, and learn advanced techniques for underwater navigation using a compass. This is especially important for adventurous divers who wish to dive without a guide – you will learn to keep track of your location, make your way back to your entry point, or find dive sites without a visual reference.

Drift Dive (recommended)

The perfect choice for diving on the Gili Islands, as we are lucky to be able to drift dive year round. Learn techniques on entering the water and diving in a current. You will also learn how to deploy a surface marker buoy and enjoy learning how to dive comfortably and controlled in strong currents.

Night Dive (recommended)

The idea of diving at night can be scary, but diving in the dark opens up a new nocturnal world to explore. We think it’s better to experience your first night dive with an instructor, which is why it makes the perfect addition to your PADI Advanced Open Water Diver course. Entering the water at twilight allows you to see how the reef changes, with night hunters coming out and the usual fish you’re used to seeing in the daytime heading off to sleep! Light up the world with a dive torch, and learn proper procedures for night diving.

Wreck Dive (recommended)

Wrecks are cool! Fish think so too; they are hotspots for biodiversity and shipwrecks have been used as a way to increase fish life since the 17th century. Their history will make your imagination run wild and they are extremely exciting to explore. You can explore 2 wrecks in the Gili Islands with Divine Divers:

The Glen Nusa Shipwreck is located at Shark Point within recreational diving limits at approximately 28m depth. The Bounty wreck sunk to a maximum depth of 18m and is just south of our house reef. Both wrecks are home to an abundance of corals, shoals of fish and are perfect for completing the wreck dive as part of your course.

Fish Identification (recommended)

For most people, the biggest reason to go diving is to see all the different, unique and unusual marine life below the waves. Knowing what species we are watching, what they are doing and where they live means you will get even more enjoyment from each and every dive as you piece together the beautiful puzzle of the marine ecosystem with more knowledge and more first-hand experience. You’ll learn how to identify and categorise different species and families, learn about symbiotic relationships and where to find different species so you never dive without spotting your favourites!

Enriched Air Nitrox

A different breathing gas mixture which contains a higher proportion of oxygen and a lower proportion of nitrogen. This allows divers to dive longer on deep dives due to greater no-decompression limits, spend less time waiting on long surface intervals due to less residual nitrogen, and a higher margin of safety by reducing the exposure to high partial pressures of nitrogen at depth. (+150.000 IDR per tank)

Photo and Video

The perfect Instagram post is waiting to be taken! Learn about techniques and skills that you need to take pictures and videos so your underwater footage is more than just a blurry, blue image but a vibrant representation of the universe that lies beneath the surface.

Shark Ecology & Conservation

Sharks are so much more than what Hollywood has been sensationalised over the past decades. The shark ecology dive will allow you to observe these beautiful predators in their natural habitats, teach you how to differentiate fiction from reality, and learn about the human threats to their survival.

Search and Recovery

Closely related to the PADI Rescue Diver course, and a great preparatory dive for those looking to progress to that course. You will learn different search patterns, when to use them and the proper techniques to lift objects. Maybe it will help you to recover sunken treasure on one of your dives…
