Dive Courses
Whether you are interested in taking your first dive or becoming a Dive
Master, Geko dive can help you achieve your goals in a safe, friendly and
professional environment where you will have the opportunity to dive in
some of the best dive sites in the world!
Although diving is a enjoyable and relaxing sport you must be in good health in order to participate. Although you can get checked by a doctor here in Bali it is usually best if you check out the medical form before you arrive so that if there are any conditions that have to be checked out by a doctor you can visit the doctor who has your medical records before you come.
The Geko Dive Instructors are all qualified and renewed members of PADI (the Professional Association of Diving Instructors).
If you're not sure that diving is for you, then why not try our Introductory Dive.

Overview:
If you don't have enough time to join the open water course or if you just want to try a dive first before you enrol on a course, this program will be the right choice. After only 1 hour pool training providing you with the basic safety procedure you need to know and time to adjust, you immediately join one open water dive accompanied by the Instructor.
