Taken a break from diving? · Gili Trawangan
Embark on a transformative underwater journey with La Bombona's Diving Reboot Course. Perfect for returning divers or those seeking to refresh their skills, this course is designed to reignite your passion for diving and enhance your confidence beneath the waves.
The Refresh Course is designed for divers who haven't been underwater for a while — recommended after 6 months out of the water, mandatory after a year. Spend the day easing yourself back into diving: there's no pressure to remember everything immediately. We'll work through the theory and practical skills together before finishing the day doing exactly what you came for — enjoying another dive. Certified divers from any agency are welcome.
Remember to bring swimwear, sunscreen, a reusable water bottle and a towel. We'll provide your scuba equipment.
Not included — the marine park fee (Rp 100.000 per diving day).

First, we'll go back over the basic principles of scuba diving and refresh your memory. Chances are you'll remember much more than you think, but after some time away from the water, there are usually a few concepts that feel a little rusty. We'll work through them together and give you plenty of opportunities to ask questions — a relaxed way to refresh your knowledge and start rebuilding your confidence before getting back into the water.
It's time to get back in the water. We'll begin in shallow, controlled conditions so you can practise the fundamental scuba skills you learned during your original certification — regulator and mask skills, buoyancy control, equipment awareness, underwater communication, and safe ascent and descent procedures. Your instructor will give you as much time as you need. The purpose isn't to test you — it's simply about bringing those familiar movements back until you're comfortable and confident underwater again.
Once you're happy with your skills, it's time to go diving. This is what you came for — a relaxed fun dive with your guide, with all the focus on enjoying and exploring the Gilis' beautiful marine life. Turtles practically guaranteed.
Our dive boat is spacious, comfortable, and designed with divers in mind. It offers a smooth ride, space to gear up with ease, and a chill area to relax between dives. With the Gilis' sites just 10–20 minutes away, it makes your diving day smoother, more social, and a lot more enjoyable.
Insights from our divers
Best place to dive in Gili T! I got my Advanced Open Water course here and couldn't be happier. The instructors are super professional, great vibes, very patient, they really take their time to make you feel comfortable and confident.
This is the friendliest dive centre in the Gili islands. These guys were super fun, yet professional and I felt really safe on my dives. The shop's also so pretty and there's live music in the restaurant-bar downstairs.
An incredible experience from start to finish! The team is extremely professional, friendly, and puts safety first. My instructor was patient and knowledgeable, and the rental gear was in top condition. The dive sites were breathtaking.
I had such a fun dive with La Bombona Diving in Gili Trawangan this week! As a newly certified Open Water diver, this was only my fifth dive, and the team made it easy and fun from start to finish.
Amazing experience with La Bombona Diving. My friend the instructor Orlando is friendly, professional, and made me feel safe from the beginning.
One of the best experiences ever… coming as a guest and I'm leaving as a friend. Thank you guys ❤️
The best dive center on the island
An extraordinary place. The best on the island.
While a refresh course is a valuable tool for revisiting essential skills, investing in the Explorer 30 Course will reignite your passion for the waters and elevate your diving proficiency by delving into enriched content, including advanced techniques, navigation skills, and underwater problem-solving.

Any certified diver who's been out of the water for a while — whether that's a busy year on land or a decade-long break. It's one day to shake off the rust, rebuild your confidence and get back to enjoying diving, instead of spending your first fun dive worrying about your buoyancy.
We recommend a refresh if you've not dived in 6 months, but it depends on your experience level and how many dives you have. After a year of no diving, it's mandatory.
Between 6 and 12 months it's your call — tell us your experience and logged dives and we'll give you an honest recommendation. After a year of no diving the refresh is mandatory with us. And after a long break it's the best money you'll spend — your next dives are twice as enjoyable when you're not fighting your gear.
Absolutely — certified divers from any recognised agency are welcome. The skills are the same underwater, whatever the logo on your card.
No worries — if you've lost your card we can look you up online. We just need the full name you registered with and your date of birth.
