Oceans 5

Oceans 5 is an SSI Instructor Training Center (ITC) positioned on the picturesque island of Gili Air in Indonesia. It serves as a primary hub for professional training on the island, recognised as one of the top diving centres in the country.

The resort is conveniently located just opposite the Gili Air public port, making transfers straightforward. For those arriving from Bali, fast boats run directly to the Gili islands, and the centre can organise air-conditioned car transfers from Lombok Praya airport to the Bangsal port, followed by a short boat crossing.

As an SSI ITC, the centre is a specialist hub for professional development, hosting everything from Divemaster courses to Assistant Instructor Trainer programmes. The team is comprised of experienced instructors dedicated to providing personalised attention and expert guidance to divers of all experience levels.

The centre maintains a strong commitment to marine ecology, organising weekly beach and reef clean-ups. This environmental focus is integrated into their training through specific offerings such as the Shark Ecology specialty.

The course catalogue is extensive, covering the full spectrum of SSI certifications. Beginners can start with the SSI Scuba Diver or SSI Open Water courses, while those looking to progress can undertake the SSI Advanced Open Water Course and the SSI Rescue Course.

Professional divers can utilise the centre's status as an ITC to pursue the SSI Divemaster Course, SSI Instructor Training Course, and more advanced professional paths including the SSI Specialty Instructor and SSI Assistant Instructor Trainer courses. The centre also offers SSI Kids Courses and refresher dives for those returning to the water.

The centre provides modern facilities to support both recreational and professional training. For those looking to enhance their skills, specialized courses like Perfect Buoyancy are available to help refine trim and control.

On-site accommodation is integrated with the diving experience, featuring 11 bungalows with pool access and rooms with garden views. The resort also includes two large swimming pools, which are ideal for skill practice or refresher training before heading out to the reef.
