Embarking on a journey into the depths of the ocean is an exhilarating experience, and for those with a passion for diving, the PADI Advanced Open Water Diver Course at Oceans 5 Gili Air offers the perfect opportunity to take your skills to new heights. Building upon the foundation laid by the Open Water Diver certification, this advanced course delves deeper into the world of underwater exploration, providing divers with both essential skills and invaluable knowledge.
The course, spanning over two days, immerses participants in a series of five ocean dives, each carefully designed to enhance their diving proficiency and confidence. While two of these dives— the deep adventure dive and the underwater navigation adventure dive—are mandatory, divers have the freedom to choose the remaining three from a diverse array of options. From navigating the mysteries of a nighttime dive to mastering the art of drift diving or exploring wrecks teeming with marine life, the possibilities are as vast and varied as the ocean itself.
What sets the PADI Advanced Open Water Diver Course apart is the invaluable guidance and expertise provided by seasoned dive instructors throughout each dive. As students hone their skills, instructors offer personalized tips and advice on crucial aspects of diving, including buoyancy control, air consumption, and body positioning. This hands-on approach not only ensures that participants master the technical aspects of each dive but also empowers them to become safer, more competent divers in the process.
Beyond mastering the intricacies of specific dive types, the course at Oceans 5 Gili Air is designed to cultivate well-rounded divers who are equipped to tackle a wide range of underwater environments. Instructors go above and beyond to impart knowledge on essential diving techniques, safety protocols, and environmental awareness, fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation for the marine world.
One of the most significant advantages of obtaining an Advanced Open Water certification is the expanded diving privileges it affords. With the ability to dive to a maximum depth of 30 meters, certified divers gain access to a wealth of new dive sites and opportunities previously beyond reach. For instance, at the Gili Islands, where Oceans 5 is located, divers can explore captivating wrecks and stunning underwater canyons, teeming with life that thrives at greater depths.
At Oceans 5 Gili Air, the thrill of underwater exploration is complemented by a commitment to safety and excellence. With small class sizes and personalized instruction, divers can expect a tailored learning experience that caters to their individual needs and skill levels. Whether you’re a novice diver looking to expand your horizons or a seasoned enthusiast seeking new challenges, the PADI Advanced Open Water Diver Course offers a pathway to endless adventure beneath the waves.
In conclusion, the PADI Advanced Open Water Diver Course at Oceans 5 Gili Air represents a gateway to the next level of diving proficiency and exploration. With expert guidance, diverse dive options, and expanded privileges, participants emerge not only as certified advanced divers but as confident, knowledgeable stewards of the ocean.

On the serene island of Gili Air, nestled amidst the crystal-clear waters of Indonesia, a remarkable event took place on the 2nd of March. It wasn’t just any ordinary day; it was the Gili Air Clean Up Day, a community-driven initiative aimed at rejuvenating the island’s natural beauty by tackling its plastic pollution problem head-on.
The call to action was clear: every business and resident on the island was tasked with cleaning their properties and the surrounding roads. Moreover, special attention was given to specific designated areas that required urgent cleaning. At 8:00 in the morning, the clean-up commenced at the local school, serving as the epicenter of this environmental crusade. Here, volunteers were provided with mesh bags to collect the litter, focusing primarily on plastic waste such as bottles, bags, and cans, along with paper materials.
Oceans 5 Gili Air, a prominent local establishment, generously donated bags and a boat for transporting the collected waste. Other businesses joined hands in support, contributing water gallons for the volunteers, horse carts to pick up the rubbish, additional boats, gloves, and manpower. It was a remarkable display of solidarity, with people from different businesses coming together for the greater good.
Strategically timed two weeks after Indonesia’s presidential election and just before the holy month of Ramadan, the Gili Air Clean Up Day not only aimed to cleanse the physical environment but also to symbolize a fresh start, echoing the spirit of renewal and community cohesion.
The response was overwhelming. Three hundred enthusiastic schoolchildren, along with a significant portion of the local community, rallied together to take part in this noble cause. With unwavering determination and a shared commitment to environmental stewardship, they combed through the island, diligently collecting trash and restoring its pristine allure.
The impact of their collective efforts was palpable. By the day’s end, two boats laden with bags brimming with plastic waste set sail for Lombok, symbolizing a significant step towards mitigating the island’s ecological footprint. The success of the event resonated deeply with the community, prompting the leaders of the three islands to announce its continuation twice a year.
The decision to hold future clean-up events, slated to occur just before Indonesia’s Independence Day on the 17th of August, underscores the enduring commitment of Gili Air’s inhabitants to preserve their island paradise for generations to come.
The Gili Air Clean Up Day stands not only as a testament to the power of collective action but also as a beacon of hope for communities worldwide grappling with environmental challenges. Through unity, determination, and a shared sense of responsibility, Gili Air has demonstrated that positive change is not only possible but achievable when communities come together with a common purpose.
So mark your calendars and join us for the next Gili Air Clean Up Day. Together, let’s continue to make a difference and ensure a cleaner, greener future for all. See you there!
