The PADI Scuba Diver course gives you the essential skills and experience to start exploring the underwater world, without completing the full Open Water course.
At Blue Marlin Dive Kuta Lombok, you'll learn step by step with an experienced PADI Instructor before completing two ocean dives in the reefs of South Lombok.
Two days. Two ocean dives. One internationally recognised PADI certification and the beginning of your diving journey.
Complete your PADI eLearning at your own pace before the course begins.
Then spend your first day with your instructor in the pool, learning the essential skills you need to feel comfortable and confident underwater.
Take everything you've learned into the ocean with two training dives in the reefs of South Lombok.
Practise your skills and experience what scuba diving is really all about.
Complete your course and earn your PADI Scuba Diver certification.
You'll be qualified to dive to 12 metres under the direct supervision of a PADI professional, giving you the freedom to continue diving around the world.
Designed for complete beginners, your course combines online learning, pool training and four ocean dives with a maximum of four students per instructor.
Once you've completed your pool training, it's time to head to the reefs of South Lombok.
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 an incredible setting for your first ocean dives.
We choose the most suitable dive sites each day according to ocean conditions and the students in the group, so specific sites and marine life are never guaranteed.

" 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! "
