Oceans 5 Gili Air is a professional dive center located on the peaceful island of Gili Air, part of the famous Gili Islands. Known for its relaxed atmosphere, clear waters, and healthy coral reefs, Gili Air offers the perfect setting for divers of all levels — from beginners taking their first breath underwater to professionals continuing their dive careers. Oceans 5 operates as a dedicated SSI Instructor Training Center, offering a full range of courses from Open Water Diver to Divemaster and Instructor Training Courses (ITC). The dive center is recognized for its high teaching standards, small group sizes, and personal approach. Courses are conducted in a structured yet supportive environment, ensuring that every diver gains real confidence in their skills rather than simply completing minimum requirements. The facilities at Oceans 5 are designed for quality training and comfort. The center features large training pools, spacious classrooms equipped with modern teaching technology, a professional equipment room, and an on-site service center. For instructor training programs, a dedicated boat allows candidates to focus fully on skill development without distractions. Beyond diving, Oceans 5 places strong emphasis on environmental awareness and community involvement. Weekly beach cleanups, reef cleanups, and partnerships with Indonesian marine science universities are part of the dive center’s commitment to conservation. Professional candidates are encouraged to act as ambassadors for the ocean, combining dive leadership with environmental responsibility. With three daily dive departures to some of the region’s best sites — including turtles, reef sharks, and vibrant coral gardens — Oceans 5 Gili Air offers both exceptional diving and a professional pathway in a beautiful tropical setting.
Our SSI Instructor Training Course (ITC) at Oceans 5 Gili Air is a 16-day professional program designed to transform certified Divemasters into confident, environmentally aware dive instructors. As an official Scuba Schools International training center, we follow the latest SSI teaching philosophy while adding our own structured workshops and mentoring approach. The course focuses on real teaching skills, not just passing the Instructor Evaluation. Through detailed dry workshops, candidates practice step-by-step skill explanations, student control techniques, problem solving, and professional briefings before entering the water. Video analysis sessions allow candidates to review and refine their presentations, accelerating development and building true confidence. Training takes place in small groups to ensure personal attention from the Instructor Trainer. With access to large training pools, modern classrooms, and dedicated boats, candidates train in a professional yet relaxed environment on Gili Air. Environmental awareness is integrated throughout the program, encouraging new instructors to act as ambassadors for the ocean. After certification, instructors can gain real-world experience through supervised team-teaching opportunities. Our SSI ITC is more than a course — it is a transformation into a capable, responsible, and employable dive professional.
Oceans 5 Gili Air is a conservation-driven dive center where environmental responsibility is fully integrated into daily operations, training programs, and long-term philosophy. Located on Gili Air within the protected waters of the Gili Islands, the dive center recognizes that its success depends directly on the health of the surrounding marine ecosystem. Conservation at Oceans 5 is not a marketing addition — it is a foundation. Weekly beach cleanups and underwater reef cleanups are organized year-round, involving staff, professional candidates, and visiting divers. Marine debris removal, environmental briefings before dives, and strict buoyancy control standards are part of everyday diving practices. Environmental awareness is also embedded into professional training. Divemaster and Instructor candidates are taught to become ambassadors for the ocean, understanding coral ecosystems, marine life behavior, and responsible guiding techniques. Partnerships with Indonesian marine science universities allow students to conduct reef surveys and research projects around the islands, creating a bridge between tourism and science. By combining structured dive education with active conservation initiatives, Oceans 5 ensures that every diver not only explores the ocean but contributes to protecting it. Conservation is not a separate department — it is the philosophy that guides everything Oceans 5 does.
Oceans 5 Gili Air maintains a strong and ongoing partnership with several Indonesian universities, creating a direct connection between dive tourism and marine science. In collaboration with institutions such as University of Mataram, the dive center supports marine biology and conservation students in conducting field research around the Gili Islands. Through this partnership, students gain practical experience in reef surveys, fish identification, coral health monitoring, and marine ecosystem analysis. Oceans 5 provides logistical support, dive facilities, boats, and professional supervision to ensure that research can be carried out safely and effectively. By working directly in the ocean environment, students are able to connect academic knowledge with real-world fieldwork. The collaboration benefits both sides. Universities gain access to consistent field support and long-term research opportunities, while Oceans 5 strengthens its conservation-driven philosophy by contributing to scientific data collection and environmental awareness. Professional dive candidates at Oceans 5 are also exposed to these research activities, reinforcing the importance of responsible diving and marine protection. This partnership reflects a shared commitment: protecting Indonesia’s marine ecosystems through education, research, and community involvement. Together, Oceans 5 and Indonesian universities help build the next generation of marine scientists and ocean ambassadors
