As someone who is afraid of deep, dark waters, even the idea of scuba diving caused me anxiety. I am so glad that I did my open water certification with DPM diving in Gili Air. My instructor, Greg was the most amazing instructor I could ever had hoped for. Greg took me step by step from someone who is anxious in water, to someone who is now planning to do a dive master training. Greg is amazing at explaining the theory, physiology and physics behind diving. He explains all concepts in multiple ways and made sure I understand all the reasons for all the rules of diving. The pool sessions were also very calm and step by step. I always used to think “what if something goes wrong while I am underwater?” And that uncertainty was at the core of my anxiety. During the pool sessions, Greg took me through everything that could go wrong and we practiced what to do when things go wrong. The pool sessions gave me a lot of confidence. Diving in the oceans of Gili is truly amazing. The underwater is full of life and amazing beauty. And the dives with Greg felt so calm. From jumping in the water from the boat, to the perfect way to descend and then continue diving. I saw turtles in all 8 of my day dives! Greg is extremely focused on teaching good habits from the very start. And if you learn from him, you will surely be a conscious diver. He teaches how to care for marine life. And teaches how to dive with the best technique. He is exceptionally good at motivating and appreciating all along the way. I was so happy with my open water certification experience, that I came back for my advanced course with Greg. Now I have gone from someone who was afraid of water to someone who can dive 30 meters under water in comfort. All within 3 weeks! I highly recommend Greg and DPM diving in Gili Air. If you are someone who is anxious of diving, the open water certification will really help with all the unclear fears. The environment at DPM is so friendly and calm. Everyone here will feel like a friend. All the instructors and dive masters care about you, even if you are not learning from them. They will observe you under water and tell you how you could improve. I feel like I have made good friends, in my time at DPM.
