Bali is one of the best places in Indonesia to join a PADI diving course. The dive centres that operate on the island are professional and the teachers are trained to an international standard. Bali also has a lot of great dive spots. If you go diving in Bali you can see the famous Mola Mola, white tipped reef sharks and even do wreck dives. The best bit though is the price. The competition for clients means you can do a PADI certified course really cheaply.
If you’re interested in taking a diving course in Bali and you want to choose a reliable company I can help. I’ve teamed up with a PADI dive center to offer you all inclusive professional diving courses in Bali taught by internationally certified instructors. Let’s dive right in.
Learning how to dive in the pool during my Scuba Discovery Course in Bali.
Try Scuba
A ‘try scuba’ course is created specially for first time divers. The one-day course is a great way to gain confidence and get experience scuba diving. A ‘try scuba’ course includes a short theory and training session followed by 40-minutes in the swimming pool. The day ends with two one-hour reef dives at world-class dive sites.
Open Water
A PADI Open Water Course is the first stage in your life as a scuba diver. It is a 3-4 day intensive course that gives you certification to dive anywhere in the world. The course is composed of six diving theory modules (there is a test at the end) followed by pool exercises and training. Included in the course are 4 open water dives at various dive sites around Bali.

The theory courses focus on specialized skills like underwater navigation and night diving. During the course, you also practice deep dives. After getting you’re Advanced Open Water you are allowed to dive to a maximum depth of 30 meters (Open Water Divers should only be allowed to dive to 18 meters).

Hello this is Aimi.
Nice to meet you.
I am interested in diving, considering to get open water or Advanced license.
How many days in advance do i have to apply?
And I am solo traveler is there any good area or accommodation to stay around in Bali?
Regards,
Dear Aimi,
We are not arranging this at the moment. I would recommend to get in touch directly to a dive center. I took my dive license in Sanur, Bali.
So I guess you have to decide where would you like to take the course then you can find an accommodation close by. Usually you can ask for recommendation to the dive center too. Hope you have a good time in Indonesia.
