Nico Dives Cool Bali

Scuba Diver Course

First Level Scuba Diver Certification Course

Scuba Diver Course in Bali

This is a popular diver certification for people with limited time or ability. It is an intermediate certification towards a full Open Water Scuba Diver certification. The Scuba Diver Course will allow you to go to 12 meters depth under the supervision of a professional diving instructor. Later, if you have more time, you are free to continue your diving education with the Open Water Diver Course which is the first autonomous level of certification.

What differentiates us from other Dive Centres

At Nico Dives Cools we want you to have the best learning experience possible. This is why we keep our student ratios to dive instructors extremely low. Compared to other large dive centers you get a highly personalized classroom and diving practice experience. Very often our experienced diving instructor will only teach one student at a time. In general, we prefer to have no more than two students per instructor so we can ensure a quality education. Also, this is the key reason why Nico Dives Cool has such an amazing 5-star reputation amongst its customers. Having said that we can be flexible (add more Instructors) if you want to do your course with several people, as a group. Simply let us know your preferences and will will make sure you will have a fantastic learning experience.

The other thing that makes us stand out from the crowd is that we take you to some of the best diving spots to do your course. Rather than sitting for two days in the same spot, like learning in Sanur, we will bring you to different dive locations. Typically we do bring you to Tulamben and Padang Bai. There you will dive into the beautiful Blue Lagoon dive sites with amazing coral bommies. In Tulamben, you’ll dive on a colorful coral reef, and the world-famous USAT Liberty Shipwreck.

What is included?

Before you start diving you will be required to review and learn some basic dive theory. We recommend doing the e-learning course before arriving in Bali. So we can focus more on the diving skills and practice more, once you are here. On the day we will pick you up from your hotel and later drop you off too. On the drive we review your diving knowledge, to make sure you have a good grasp of the fundamental diving theory.

Diving insurance is included with all the SSI entry-level courses. Equipment is provided for all the diving courses for free. We only use high-quality gear, from trusted scuba gear producers such as, Apeks or Aqualung.

Now, let’s get to the water part. We will start with one day of confined water sessions (shallow water, or pool) for skills practice. On the second day, we will do two open-water dives. You also have the option to add additional dives after your course for more practice. We are flexible and will adapt to your needs, available time, and budget.
