Begin your diving adventure, gain your next level of certification or become a professional diver in beautiful Senggigi Beach with Blue Marlin Lombok. As one of the few PADI 5 STAR DIVE RESORTS in Lombok, we cater to veteran divers and novices alike with a full array of PADI courses.
While we visit the Gilis on all dive trips, we are able to conduct all theory and pool dives in Senggigi for your convenience. Paired with Holiday Resort, our onsite training pool and comfortable facilities ensure you have nothing to worry about but the learning at hand. We partner with our sister centre, Blue Marlin Gili Meno, to provide divers a home base to relax and friendly faces for your surface intervals. All prices are inclusive of return hotel transfers from the Senggigi/Mangsit area as well as dive computer rental for the duration of your course.
Blue Marlin’s passionate PADI Instructors are committed to you as a student, ensuring that divers not only check off the PADI requirements but truly improve their diving. Our head instructor, Epoel (fondly referred to as Paul), has been with us for over 18 years and teaches courses in English and Bahasa Indonesia. Courses at Blue Marlin Dive always feature small groups: this allows students more one on one attention and also helps us to get to know you better! Each course has a maximum of 4 students per instructor, but we are also pleased to offer the option of a ‘private’ course for those who prefer one-on-one tuition. We are happy to begin courses on any date.
Blue Marlin Dive is a name you can trust. Now known as Indonesia’s largest dive company, remember that Blue Marlin started out as just one instructor with a couple sets of gear intent on sharing the underwater beauty of the Gilis. 27 years down the road, we have earned numerous awards from PADI for our outstanding contributions to diver training, continuing education and the scuba industry.
Take advantage of our large network as all Blue Marlin Dive locations are happy to offer a 10% discount on all continuing education.
If you are pushed for time or just want to give yourself a head start on the theory, we recommend that you sign up for PADI’s e-learning. Learn more here.
Please be aware that diving is a physical activity and before beginning any PADI course, we must verify you are in suitable diving condition. Learn more here.

Are you ready for your big adventure? You should be! You are about to embark on a journey exploring a whole new world untouched by the frantic pace of everyday life. However, as scuba diving is a technical sport, all scuba courses require personal study time to master theory. If you’d like to clear your holiday/travel time and get a head start on your scuba ‘homework’, we recommend PADI’s E-Learning.
Learning to scuba dive has never been more convenient! Whether you’re on the go or want to take it slow, complete the knowledge development portion of your PADI course online before you arrive. The e-learning module is fairly self-explanatory but if you have any questions during the study process, please feel free to contact us. Please note that e-learning does end up being more expensive as you will pay PADI directly for the theory portion of the course on top of Blue Marlin’s discounted course price.
Why Choose eLearning?
Before you arrive in Senggigi, you must be sure that you are in a suitable physical condition for the sport of diving. At the start of the course, every student must complete and sign a PADI Medical Statement, which includes a number of questions relating to your medical history. By answering the questions, you will discover if you’ll require a doctor’s check-up before taking to the water. (PADI insists on this if your medical history shows a ‘contra-indication’ to participating in diving.)
Answer each question carefully. If you are unsure of the answer to any of the questions, you should answer “yes”. Sign and date the bottom of your statement.
If any of the answers you give to the questions are “yes”, visit your doctor for a medical examination, taking your statement with you to show him/her*.
If your doctor is satisfied with your health, you are ready to start your course. However, you must bring BOTH your signed Medical Statement and your doctor’s clearance with you to Senggigi, as we are required to keep these with your training records.
