RAID Open Water 20 · Gili Trawangan

Become a Diver with Our Open Water Course

The full diving licence, earned in the turtle capital of Indonesia. We certify you to 20 metres — most schools stop at 18.

The certification that opens the ocean

Our Open Water course gives you a globally recognised RAID certification, accepted at any dive centre in the world — and we certify you to 20 metres instead of the 18 offered by most schools. Same time in the water, deeper reefs unlocked.

Price: Rp 6.900.000 (€336) — everything included, no surprise extras.

What’s included

How the course flows

Before you arrive — RAID’s free e-learning covers the theory at your own pace, so your island time is spent in the water, not a classroom.

Day 1 — Welcome, theory review and the final exam (open book, 80% to pass — everyone passes), then into confined water to learn the core skills with your instructor a metre away.

Day 2 — Your first two ocean dives to 12 metres. Expect turtles.

Day 3 — Two deeper dives with navigation practice, then certification celebrations. You’re a diver now.
