Go beyond the basics — sharpen your skills, explore new environments, and become the diver you want to be.
PADI Specialty Courses let you focus on the kind of diving you love most. Whether you want to dive deeper, take better photos, explore wrecks, or improve your buoyancy — specialties give you real experience and confidence in the water.
At Gili Scuba, our specialties are hands-on, fun, and taught 1-on-1 or in very small groups. Most courses include 2–4 dives, and we take the time to make sure you actually learn and grow — not just tick boxes.
These are the specialties we currently offer:
Deep Diver – Go Down to 40 Meters
This course is for divers ready to explore deeper reefs, walls, and wrecks — safely and with full awareness. Over 4 dives, you’ll learn how depth affects color, pressure, and air consumption, how to recognize nitrogen narcosis, and how to plan and manage deep dives properly. Great for adventure-seekers or anyone considering technical diving in the future.
Enriched Air (Nitrox) – Stay Down Longer
One of the most popular specialties worldwide — and for good reason. Nitrox allows you to enjoy longer bottom times and shorter surface intervals, especially on repetitive dives. In this mostly dry course (no dives required), you’ll learn how to analyze tanks, plan nitrox dives, and use your dive computer safely. Perfect for dive trips and liveaboards.
Night Diver – A Whole New World After Dark
Night diving is peaceful, mysterious, and full of surprises. With 3 night dives, you’ll learn how to use underwater lights, navigate in the dark, and spot marine life that hides during the day — like hunting octopus, eels, and crustaceans. It’s a completely different way to experience familiar sites.
Search & Recovery Diver – Find What’s Lost
Want to level up your dive skills in a real, hands-on way? This course teaches you how to search for and retrieve lost objects underwater. You’ll practice using search patterns, tying underwater knots, and lifting items to the surface with a lift bag — over 4 dives. It’s fun, practical, and builds serious underwater awareness.
Wreck Diver – Explore the Past
Shipwrecks are time capsules — and they’re also some of the most exciting dive environments out there. Over 4 dives, you’ll learn how to navigate around (and sometimes inside) wrecks, how to avoid hazards, and how to use reels and lines for safe exploration. If you’re curious about history or just love a challenge, this one’s for you.
Underwater Photography – Capture the Magic
Take your memories home with you — and learn how to take better photos underwater, no matter what camera you use. We’ll teach you composition, lighting, and steady control in the water. You’ll get hands-on practice during 2 dives, plus feedback and editing tips. Whether you’re brand new or already shooting, you’ll improve fast.
