What can I expect if I book an Open Water Dive Course?

If you’re a beginning scuba diver, this is the perfect course for you. You will learn how to apply all the needed skills within just 3-4 days full of fun (and some learning)! The first 2 days you will be going over the theory and practice different techniques in the pool. On the third day you will have two open water dives at 12 meters and on the final day you will have two more open water dives, but now at 18 meters!

The cool thing about learning how to scuba dive at Manta Dive Gili T is that you will be learning your skills in one of the best dive sites in the world surrounded by amazing marine life. With Shark Point and Manta Point just a short boat ride away, you’ll be sure to encounter heaps of turtles, many different species of fish, stunning corals and maybe even some moray eels, white tip reef sharks and stingrays. How cool is that!

Once you’ve completed this course you will be able to dive to 18 meters for the rest of your life while accompanied by a similarly or higher certified buddy. After the Open Water Certificate, you can continue your diving education by completing the full Advanced Open Water Course (Deep Dive - 30m, Night Dive, etc ) to increase your knowledge and opportunities to visit more of the dive sites around the Gili Islands.
