Gili Air Divers
West coast, Gili Air
The main centre — lively, social, the heart of our SSI Scuba, freediving and daily fun dives.
De langst bestaande onafhankelijke duikschool op Gili Air — in 2011 opgericht door Bibi, nog altijd in familiebeheer, in hetzelfde huis aan de westkust. Dagelijks scuba en vrijduiken, levendige riffen, het hele jaar warm water en instructeurs die op jouw tempo afstemmen. Briefings in het Nederlands en Engels, cursussen in het Frans, Spaans of Bahasa als dat makkelijker voor je is. Van een halve dag intro tot SSI Instructor — en van een vrijduik-trial tot SSI Advanced Freediver Level 2 — elke cursus passen we op jou aan.
