Located directly at the harbor when you arrive on Gili Air is Oceans 5, one of the only dive shops currently open on the island (as of March 2022). O5 has been in business for years and their expertise and professionalism shows. Whether you go out for your first discovery dive (DSD) or you are adding a 1,000th fun dive to your logbook, you won’t be disappointed with the O5 experience. The guides are exceptional - from gear set up and the dive briefing throughout the boat ride and the dive itself, they put your needs first and ensure that you have a good time. There are tons of sites around the Gilis to choose from depending on your level and what you want to see so definitely plan to spend a few days diving with O5 during your visit.

What a professional operation! Simon was an incredible instructor, patient, thorough and reassuring ... the dives were spectacular too... Hans reef will never be forgotten. I’m definitely coming back. Thanks guys 🙏

Did two dives and just loved it. Regret that I didn't do more to be honest. Very good location, awesome and professional staff, good equipment and good dive sites. Got the same dive master on both of my dives even I did them on different days, which was super nice 🙂 Highly recommended! 🙂

Just finished my open water dive course here and it has been an incredible adventure of learning, diving and a lot of fun. The instructions here are extremely professional and very patient, and still really nice and calm to hang around. I can highly recommend Oceans 5 for both diving and just vacation.

I choose oceans 5 to do my open water after a few recommendations and was very pleased that i did. Just hanging around the dive school you notice how friendly the staff are and there is no pushy sales pitches. Special thanks to my instructor Simon for making me feel so relaxed, his knowledge is second to none and explains things in an easy but informative way, so much so i choose to do my deep adventure.

Oceans5dive is the best scuba diving resort I have encountered so far in my diving travels. Professional, safe, fun and up to date. The equipment is well maintained, the centre innovative and the staff are top notch.

Hand down best dive shop on Gili Air. Everyone from the owner (Sander) to the Dive Masters to the guys on the boat to the office staff to the coffee shop to the students...:all amazing, always willing to help and super friendly. The dives are very well organized. We saw soooo many things.....white tip sharks, turtles, octopus, eels, frog fish, crabs, scorpion fish, sea snails and LOTS of fish. I highly recommend diving with Oceans5.

Got certified as a open water diver with this dive shop , top notch instructors ! Thanks Roy for the patience 😉 Their equipment is of a high quality and wel maintained, safety always first . We Had some time to do extra fun dives with Suri , Tim tam , Safari , Unos and Adi these dive masters make each dive fun with a capital F !! These dive masters guide you to beautiful dive sites with awesome marine life who's hiding places they know very wel 🙂 I highly recommend this dive shop when visiting gili air !

I had a really great time with Oceans 5. Booked a stay there combined with an open water course and everything has been perfect. They worked professionaly with me and i loved the time with these guys! Diving there has been a cool experience, we saw many fish, many turtles and had a lot of fun.

I dived once with these guys on hanz reef. Unos was my guide. Great attention to safety - o2 on boat, good dive site briefing before, and good safety briefing on boat, roll call etc, full buddy checks encouraged on boat. Equipment was plentiful, all sizes stocked, and good quality (no bitten-through regs with this company, wetsuit was great quality, and I'm pretty sure my BCD was brand new). Unos was an awesome guide - really put the fun into fun dive. He made me laugh so much through the whole dive that I spent most of it clearing my mask. Free tea and coffee after the dive. They charge the additional 30,000rupiah island tax that most other companies absorb; but having dived with another company on the island (who I won't name), and having used their poorly maintained equipment and experienced their annoyance when we had to ascend as my husband couldn't equalise properly; I'd definitely pay this extra £1.60 for the professionalism, quality equipment, and attention to safety that oceans5 offer. Awesome dive guys, thanks!!
