Bali Aqua is a PADI 5 star Center, we specialize in professional training and have on our full time staff a team of Master Instructors, Staff Instructors and Tecdiving Instructors. It is rare to find this level of experience under one roof. You will get to work with all of these instructors during your training, this in turn will give you the best possible start to your new career.
What you will learn
Any good course goes beyond the minimum requirements set by the agency, in addition to the basic curriculum you will get unlimited diving during your training, we want you to get as much experience as possible. You will have the opportunity to participate in equipment repair and servicing, compressor use and much more. What really sets us apart is the opportunity to work one on one with some very experienced instructors, experience matters, you can only teach what you know. The longer the course the more we can put into them, we always suggest taking as much time as you can with these programs, our 30 , 60 and 90 day courses are the most popular. These programs come packaged with additional training such as PADI Enriched Air Diver and Gas Blender.
Equipment
At this level you should have your own equipment, you will be more comfortable, you can better tailor it to suit you, you can be sure it is well maintained and as a result your skills will develop more quickly, additionally when you begin working as a Divemaster it is rare to find an employer that provides equipment for you. If you do not yet have your own gear we can help you, use our experience to make sure you get the best equipment for you at a 20% discount rate from our TUSA dealers. Or you can sit down with your instructor and go threw brands that you might have in mind and review them together. If you do prefer to rent for now this is not a problem, we can provide a full set for you for a low weekly cost.
Some Divemaster packages include owning your own equipment by the end of the internship and that can help you in the future.
