For many divers, the thrill of exploring the underwater world eventually sparks a curiosity for more. You’ve completed your recreational dive training, logged dozens of dives, and maybe even thought about going pro. But what if becoming a divemaster or instructor isn’t for you? What if you’re looking for a deeper challenge — both literally and technically? That’s where TDI Tech Diving at Oceans 5 Gili Air offers a unique and exciting path forward.

Welcome to the World of Technical Diving

At Oceans 5 Gili Air, continuing your dive education doesn’t have to mean becoming a professional. Instead, it could mean becoming a Technical Diver, someone who goes beyond recreational limits to explore deeper depths, longer bottom times, and more complex dive planning. Technical diving introduces you to decompression proceduresdifferent gas mixes, and specialized equipment configurations.

Whether you’re fascinated by the science of diving or drawn to untouched deep dive sites beyond recreational limits, tech diving is where precision, adventure, and passion meet.

Oceans 5: The First and Only Tech Diving Centre on Gili Air

While Gili Air is known for its relaxed atmosphere, friendly locals, and shallow reefs full of marine life, Oceans 5 Gili Air has carved out a new space in the island’s dive community: Technical Diving.

Thanks to TDI Tech Instructor Ary, Oceans 5 is now the only dive center on Gili Air offering TDI (Technical Diving International) courses. This marks a bold step into a niche that had been missing from the island’s diving scene. Ary, an experienced and dedicated technical diver, has spearheaded the launch of a fully equipped, purpose-driven technical diving department within the dive center.

From new gear setups to advanced training materials and dedicated technical dive briefings, Ary is not only teaching tech diving—he’s building a community of serious divers ready to go deeper, stay longer, and understand their dives in ways recreational training never covers.

Meet Ary: Gili Air’s Only Indonesian TDI Tech Instructor

Behind this initiative is Ary, the only Indonesian TDI Tech Instructor on Gili Air. His journey from recreational diver to technical educator is inspiring and rooted in deep respect for the underwater environment and safety-focused education.

Ary’s calm demeanor, thorough knowledge, and hands-on teaching style make him the ideal mentor for anyone looking to enter the world of tech diving. He understands that stepping into this next level of diving is a big decision, and he’s passionate about making sure you’re fully prepared, confident, and safe every step of the way.

Dive Sites Beyond the Reach of Recreational Divers

With Ary, you won’t just be learning theory in a classroom—you’ll go where recreational divers never go. Around the Gili Islands and the northern coast of Lombok, there are incredible deep sites waiting to be explored, from underwater walls and drop-offs to unique reef formations that only trained technical divers can visit.

Because of the specialized training and equipment involved, these dives are not accessible to recreational divers. That exclusivity, combined with pristine conditions and untouched marine life, is what makes technical diving so rewarding.
