SSI Open Water Course in Gili Trawangan
SSI Open Water in Gili Trawangan runs three days with full equipment and insurance included. The resulting lifetime licence is valid to 18 metres at dive sites worldwide.
About the programme
The SSI Open Water Diver course at DPM Diving in Gili Trawangan is the first full scuba certification, qualifying divers to dive independently with a certified buddy to 18 metres worldwide. The course runs over three days, results in a digital lifetime certification registered internationally, and is open to beginners with no prior diving experience. The course covers three components: SSI digital theory (MyDiveGuide self-paced reading and knowledge reviews before and during the course), confined-water skill sessions in shallow water (mask clearing and replacement, regulator recovery, neutral buoyancy, controlled emergency ascents and out-of-air procedures) and four open-water dives around Gili Trawangan.
The island sits off the northwest coast of Lombok with warm clear water suited to entry-level training. A written multiple-choice exam at the end of the course completes the certification. The 6,400,000 IDR fee includes the SSI Open Water international lifetime certification, full dive gear (wetsuit, BCD, regulator, mask, fins), a professional SSI instructor, dive insurance and snacks on board.
A standard SSI medical questionnaire is completed before water entry. A one-time National Marine Park Fee of 100,000 IDR applies in cash on the first day; it is valid for unlimited subsequent dives at the location during your stay. Bookings via WhatsApp.
Why take the Open Water in Gili Trawangan
Your certification dives run at Turtle Heaven and Halik Reef. The first is a shallow turtle site with a five-to-fifteen-metre profile for skills; the second is a long, gentle coral slope on the north side dropping to twenty-four metres, dived as a drift most days, with clownfish, green turtles and healthy hard and soft coral.
Sites are five to twenty minutes from our pier on the east side of the island, so the boat is back for lunch. Water stays 27-30 °C, and from May to October the dry season pushes visibility above thirty metres. QUMA Boutique Hotel, two minutes from North East Beach, is our accommodation partner if you want a pool between dives.
Dive sites are chosen on the day according to weather and sea conditions.
