Diver Propulsion Vehicle – Feel like adding some speed? Learn basic handling and manoeuvring for diver propulsion vehicles as well as specific entry and exit techniques and turnaround points.
Drift Diver – Become more comfortable diving in conditions where currents are common. Work on buoyancy skills and learn about safety equipment such as surface marker buoys and signalling devises.
Enriched Air Diver – Learn to plan and execute a dive using manipulated oxygen content gases allowing extended no decompression times and reduced nitrogen intake. Work with oxygen analysers and enriched air specific tables to widen your diver knowledge and experience.
Multilevel and Computer – Extend allowable bottom times by graduating dives from depths to shallows. Learn to more accurately plan dive times and depths using the PADI wheel and be guided by advanced diving computers.
Night Dive – See a new side to diving around Gili. Return to sites by night to experience hunting eels, shrimps, crabs and lobsters and peaceful sleeping fish.
