Your next underwater adventure starts here.
The PADI Advanced Open Water course is about building on the skills you already have, gaining confidence and discovering new ways to dive.
Over two days, you'll complete five Adventure Dives, including Deep Diving and Underwater Navigation, alongside three additional dives chosen to develop your skills and make the most of the conditions in South Lombok.
Two days. Five dives. New skills, new experiences and a whole new side of diving.
Take your diving beyond 18 metres and learn the skills needed to explore deeper environments safely and confidently.
Improve your navigation, buoyancy and overall diving ability through practical Adventure Dives with your instructor.
Finish the course as a PADI Advanced Open Water Diver, certified to dive to 30 metres and ready for a much wider range of diving experiences.
Designed for certified divers, your course combines five Adventure Dives over two days with a maximum of four students per instructor.
Once you're ready to take your diving further, South Lombok gives you an incredible place to do it.
Your training dives take place in the Alas Strait and around the protected Tanjung Ringgit coastline.
Tropical reefs, colourful marine life and varied underwater landscapes make every Adventure Dive a different experience.
We choose the most suitable dive sites each day according to ocean conditions, your training requirements and the divers in the group, so specific sites and marine life are never guaranteed.

Blue Marlin has been diving in Indonesia for more than 35 years. In Kuta Lombok, our experienced PADI professionals combine small groups, quality equipment and personal instruction with access to one of Lombok's less-explored diving regions.
" Had a wonderful time diving Lombok with Blue Marlin. Their hospitality, professionalism, and attention to detail made me feel safe and at home from the start. Special shoutouts to Imran, Shannon, Harly, and Michelle, great dive guides and hosts who led us to amazing underwater sites while handling the usual traveller hiccups with ease. I'll definitely be back! "
Our family took the Discover Dive package at Monkey Beach for my 60th birthday. Absolutely fantastic day in every way. Boat and crew were fantastic as were the dive masters Olly and Fian who took care of us throughout the whole trip.
" Very easy contact, and booking. Very friendly team. Very good equipment. Our 13YO did her first open water dives with instructor Valérie. She enjoyed the divers and was very well guided by Valérie. Thank you bluemarlinKuta for enabling us to dive together as a family. You are a very flexible team and see to all demands of your guests. We had a great time! "
