Become certified to dive to 18m with a buddy with some of Bali’s kindest and most knowledgeable dive instructors.
Doing your PADI open water course with Intrinity Divers will allow you to learn to dive in a supportive, personal and safe environment. We teach with a maximum of two students per instructor, allowing you to learn from your buddy’s mistakes and take the time you need to correct your own.
We are wildly passionate about diving and our ocean environment. You’ll learn excellent buoyancy skills so you can enjoy the beautiful coral of Bali without damaging it.
During your three-day open water course with us, we’ll help you build your skills and confidence to become a confident, safe and environmentally aware scuba diver.
During your Open Water course you will:
- learn and gain confidence in fundamental dive skills, including mask and regulator clearing, safety drills and buoyancy,
- get a great understanding of dive physics and theory,
- explore some stunning Bali dive sites
The PADI Open Water Diver course consists of three main phases.
Knowledge Development
Before your practical training, you’ll learn dive theory via elearning online.
This takes around 5-7 hours and is best done in small sections.
You'll learn about:
- Fundamental dive physics and equipment
- The ocean environment – currents and tides, hazards, boat and shore diving techniques
- Decompression illness, gas narcosis and breathing gasses.
Confined water training - your first day of practical training! In the morning, you’ll visit our dive centre to review dive theory and check equipment. Then, it’s off to the pool to start your practical training. You’ll become comfortable using scuba, working through five confined water dives and plenty of skills to prepare you for the ocean.
Finally - Open Water Dives - this is what it's all about - you'll make your first dives in the ocean!
During four dives, you'll perform various skills under water and on the surface to make sure you're a safe and competent diver.
We prefer to take you to Padang Bai and the iconic Liberty shipwreck at Tulamben for your open water dives which gives you the opportunity to practice boat and shore entry techniques.
The dive sites are filled with abundant, healthy coral and marine life. You’ll see wildlife such as turtles, octopus and cuttlefish, nudibranchs, shrimps, blue spotted rays, scorpionfish, lionfish and a vast array of tropical reef fish.
