The 25 dive sites visited by recreational divers have been joined in the last few years by at least the same number of dive sites in deeper water. The vast majority of these dive sites are within a fifteen minutes boat ride from our beach. You are welcome to join on our daily recreational trips for guided tech diving or on our dedicated tech boat, Virginia, that visits tech-only locations. We customise our technical dives to meet your needs and interests, and there will be no large mixed ability groups. Divers will be given the opportunity to enjoy their diving and develop at a level which is comfortable for them. We provide experienced open or closed circuit CCR guides and a private, spacious boat to travel and prepare on.

You will be privately guided on any of our dive sites by a dedicated CCR guide away from open circuit divers. This means you will have better interaction with the marine life and a much longer dive to get the most enjoyment out of
your CCR. We don’t charge for O2. We have over 20 dive sites to choose from all around the Gili islands.
Equipment rental:
750,000 IDR for JJ-CCR Rental
Outside of training activities, diving will be supervised in water (or from surface where deemed appropriate) by qualified Blue Marlin staff. Diving will take place at sites appropriate for the experience levels and certifications of the individuals involved. All decompression diving activities will be backed up by dedicated boat cover equipped with surface oxygen, additional decompression gases as required, and with mobile phones.
Note: Divers must carry back up depth and time information.
Blue Marlin staff will reserve final judgment on suitability and choice of the dive site and help you to plan your dives with the latest diving software.
