Understanding extras

What may be added — and what is already covered.

For all courses leading to certification, PADI eLearning costs an additional IDR 1,340,000 per person. Trial diving is excluded. This includes the digital course book, which you can study before your trip, and certification. For registration, we need each participant’s own email address and date of birth in advance. Our PADI Open Water Diver course also includes a logbook.

Hotel transfers are available on request. The cost depends on the pick-up location, route and number of guests. We confirm the current transfer price in your personal quote before booking.

When you combine a course, extra dive days and accommodation, you receive one complete proposal with clearly identified inclusions rather than a loose collection of prices.

How your training works

Before your trip: prepare the theory

PADI eLearning lets you work through the digital course book before your holiday. This leaves more time for questions and practical training in Bali. Allow study time in addition to your days at the dive centre.

In the pool: practise your skills

Use the pool at our dive school to develop the basic skills. We make time for equipment, breathing, buoyancy and the exercises before taking the training into the sea.

In the sea: four training dives

Put what you have learned into practice on four open water dives. We select sites for your training stage and the conditions. Our price schedule allows three course days; we agree your individual timetable beforehand.

FAQ

Questions about this course

Do I need a trial dive first?
No. A trial dive can help if you would like to try breathing underwater before deciding, but it is not a requirement for Open Water Diver.
How deep can I dive afterwards?
Adult Open Water Divers train to a maximum of 18 metres. Junior limits depend on age. Dive within your training and experience with a suitable buddy.
What information helps you plan my course?
Your travel dates, accommodation, preferred teaching language and the age of any children taking part. We personally confirm the schedule, equipment arrangements and complete price.
