Gili Islands Divemaster Program
If you’re here, you already know what the Divemaster program is all about. We took the program and have brought it to the next level. The Go Gili Diving Divemaster program is not only about making you a better diver, but we also want it to be the best time of your life.
We’ve created a program that where you’ll find a community that supports you and one that you can have fun with on this tropical piece of paradise.
The program can be anywhere from 4 weeks until forever (this assumes you’re not annoying, are you annoying?)

The Gili Trawangan Divemaster Program
Choosing a dive center for your divemaster course is a big deal. If you’re looking for one that is filled with energy and social life but will also be the best place to learn and absorb, then we’ve got you covered!
Experience
We will send you to a ‘5-Star Training Facility’. What do all those fancy stars mean? Basically, they are great at what they do and it’s recognised! A highly skilled team of brilliant instructors and crew make this the best place to get certified on Gili T.
Facilities
Everything you need: dive training pool, open-air classrooms, showers and lockers. And everything is just steps away from the beach where the dive boat is waiting for you each day. Once that day is done, the bar and restaurant is ready to reward you for your hard work.
Community
You’ll get to learn and grow in a busy top-tier dive center. You’ll be immersed in it all! The crew and customers here become family and you’ll always have somewhere to hang out after your dive day or even on a day off. It all makes for an experience you’ll never forget.
Have Questions or Ready To Start?
Some questions you may have could be below, I think they call them Frequently Asked Questions.
- 18 years old
- Be fit for scuba diving and have medical clearance to dive within the last 12 months
- Minimum 40 logged dives
- Certified Stress & Rescue Diver or equivalent & First AID/CPR
- **If you don’t have the right amount of dives or your Rescue & First Aid cert, we can design a package to get you there. Some people come to us as Open Water and work there way up!
How’s tomorrow sound? No but serious, any time you’d like to join, we will make space so it’s flexible based on your schedule. You can also split up the program if you want to travel for a bit and come back.
You will be at a PADI dive school and training center. There really isn’t any major difference between the agencies until you get to instructor level.
As much as you want really! You can expect to dive about 3 times a day when practicing guiding or assisting on courses. Some of that time will also be spent in the pool learning how to teach skills.
When you first start out you can borrow our equipment during your course but you’ll quickly see how much better it is to have your own gear. The only thing we do not supply is an SMB (inflatable floaty noodle) and a dive computer. It’s usually really good to have your own mask. With any of the gear, we can help connect to our partners in Indonesia for some good discounts.
You may need a separate package if you need more dives or any extra courses but the basic Divemaster Course comes with:
- Science of Diving Course
- Dive Guide Course
- Free fun dives for life
- Assisting on courses with real students
- Discounts on the bar/restaurant
- Equipment rental
- Academic workshops on Marine life, tech, physics, etc
- An Amazing Time! (OBVIOUSLY)
So first of all, you’ll be an awesome diver! With your certification you can decide to work in the diving industry anywhere in the world as a Dive Guide. Taking people out on guided dives and showing them awesome things underwater.
Two options: the regular tourist Visa which can be done online or at the airport. You can extend it once and then would have to fly out and return on a new visa (take a holiday from your holiday)
Second option is the B221A visa which is like a business visa. Gets you 60-days and can be extended for another 30 day 4 times. You can get this via a reputable agency that will sort it all out for you.
The absolute minimum you need is 4 weeks but people rarely do this version. You’re more likely to spend between 6-8 weeks and enjoy the course as a part of your new life on the tropical island.
Unfortunately not. Indonesia has very strict laws on internships or any kind of work that is not done via legal proper means.
Please don’t be sad. I was pretty tired when I wrote all this so maybe I missed it. OR it’s more likely that your question was so brilliant and amazing that I could never think of it. Chat with us!
The people love us, just see for yourself!
I just finished my Advanced Open Water course here and it was the most amazing experience ever, the underwater life around Gili T is stunning and the instructors are the best. We were always in small groups, and the staff were very understanding and helpful when we needed it!
An amazing place to learn scuba diving. I took the 3-days Open Water Course and learnt so much from my dive instructor Hery. All the people working here are friendly, knowledgeable and really professional.
We had a great dive experience with Dive Central Gili. We did a refresher with Hery and he was very professional and thorough. Then had three days of diving with Atex as a guide, great guy to dive with! He was great at spotting the macros, very knowledgeable of the area and grabbed some excellent pics and vids too. Highly recommend DCG! 😁
This was my first time of Scuba Diving. The instructor (Linda) was super cool and highly talented. She made all the experience so amazing. It was like 1 Diver 1 Instructor, there is hardly any dive center which gives this kind of benefit. Must try it guys without a second thought.
I came for my Open Water ended up extending and took my Advanced and then Rescue. I’ll be back next month for my Divemaster program and I can’t wait. Dive Central is such a special little boutique place and they really make you feel like family. 🙏
I did my Divemaster program here in 2023 and I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect time. The team at Dive Central took such good care of me and I was instantly a part of the family. It was so nice to have these past few months to always remember! THANK YOU!!!
