DISCOVER SCUBA DIVING

1/2 Day - 1,050,000 IDR (1 dive)

Full Day - 1,750,000 IDR (2 dives)

This is an introductory dive for those short on time. The session starts with an informative safety briefing before you dive into our swimming pool to practice a few key skills.

BUBBLEMAKER 

1/2 Day - 1,050,000 IDR

This course is designed for the youngest divers and is a fun way to teach your little ones the joys of the underwater environment and a feeling of freedom of movement in a 3D environment. This is a pool only experience, with a maximum depth of 2 metres and can be taken from the age of 8. The aim of the course is to introduce children to the basic skills required to dive safely. If sea conditions allow a shore dive may also be possible.

At Dive Central Gili we adhere to international safe scuba diving practices and try to limit group sizes where possible.

By choosing to purchase a package of fun dives you will save 10-15% on the singular price of 540,000 IDR. Group rates and professional-rating discounts available. 

All divers must pay a one-off contribution to the Gili Eco Trust of 50,000 IDR that goes toward the funding of conservation projects around the island and a mandatory marine park fee of 100,000 IDR to the Government of Indonesia.

There are over 20 dive sites that we regularly visit – each is stunning in a different way. If you ask each Instructor which is their favourite dive site, it’s likely they will give you different answers.
