Overview Scuba Diver Course on Gili Meno
1 to 1,5 days – the Scuba Diver Course is the perfect solution for those with limited time
The Scuba Diver Course on Gili Meno is a subset of the Open Water Diver Course. You’ll complete about half of all the training requirements for the Open Water Diver licence. We typically recommend completing the full Open Water Licence as this offers better value for money. However, the Scuba Diver licence might be right for you if one of the below factors apply to you:
- You don’t have enough time to complete the entire Open Water course
- You only want to dive with a dive professional in shallow depths
- You can’t finish the Open Water training for personal or environmental reasons
The course involves two open water dives to a maximum depth of 12 meters which allow you to explore the beautiful reefs of Gili Matra Marine Park in Gili Meno. You will also complete basic diving skills in our specially designed training pool, be taught diving theory by your knowledgeable instructor and complete some independent e-learning.
At the end of the course, you will earn the Scuba Diver Certification.
This licence is still an internationally recognised qualification meeting, and the licence lasts a lifetime. This means you can upgrade to a full Open Water Diver licence at any time, by completing the remaining skills and dives at any time and at any dive center offering a Scuba Diver to Open Water Diver upgrade course.
