About Us

A dive center that teaches with patience, and dives with discipline.

Based in South Jakarta, Pelangi Scuba was born from one simple conviction: Indonesia’s ocean is far too beautiful to be seen only from the surface. We open that door to anyone — from those who have never worn a mask, to divers ready to go professional.

Every class runs with small groups, regularly serviced equipment, and a safety briefing we never skip. Because the best dive is the one that sends you home with a story, not with an incident.

  • Active, internationally certified instructors (SSI / PADI) — not seasonal freelancers.
  • Small groups — a maximum of 1 instructor to 4 students in open water.
  • Equipment serviced and pressure-tested on schedule; regulators and BCDs checked before every trip.
  • Complete emergency procedures: oxygen kit, written dive plan, and hyperbaric chamber coordination.

The Coral Triangle

Indonesia sits right at the heart of the Coral Triangle — the most biodiverse marine region on Earth. More than 17,000 islands, and most of their dive sites are ones you have never seen.

Why Pelangi Scuba

Safe diving is never luck — it is procedure.

Four things we never negotiate on, in any class and on any trip.

01

Small groups, full attention

A maximum of 4 students per instructor in open water. You will never be just a number in the group.

02

Equipment you can trust

Regulators serviced every 100 dives or once a year; tanks pressure-tested to standard; everything re-checked before departure.

03

Active instructors, not seasonal ones

Our team dives all year round. That real, current site experience is what makes our briefings different.

04

An emergency plan that is real

Oxygen kit on every trip, a written dive plan, the nearest hyperbaric chamber on call, and dive insurance.

Our Team

Pelangi Scuba is a community of passionate divers dedicated to creating memorable and safe dive adventures.

The people who will be with you in the pool, on the boat, and beneath the surface.

Testimonials

Stories from divers who started here.

Genuine reviews from our students and trip guests.

I was afraid of deep water at first. The instructor was incredibly patient, repeating every skill until I was genuinely comfortable. Now I am carrying on to Advanced.

What I like: the safety briefing is taken seriously and the gear is clean and well maintained. As a long-time diver, those are the details I notice.

The Komodo trip was well run from start to finish. The guide knew the best spots and still kept the group small.

My 12-year-old took the Open Water course here. I felt at ease because the instructor ratio is small and every session was reported back to the parents.

Frequently Asked

The questions we hear most.

I can’t swim. Can I still dive? +

For Discovery Scuba Diving, yes — you are accompanied one-to-one by an instructor throughout. For Open Water certification, however, there is a basic requirement to swim 200 metres unaided and float for 10 minutes. We can help you practise swimming first in a pool session.

How long does the Open Water course take? +

Usually 3–4 days: one day of theory and pool training, then two days of open-water dives. The schedule can be split across several weekends if you work.

Is the certification valid abroad? +

Yes. SSI and PADI certifications are recognised worldwide and valid for life. You can dive at any dive center with that card.

What equipment should I bring myself? +

Just swimwear, a towel, and any personal medication. We provide all diving equipment during the course. If you already own a mask or fins, feel free to bring them.

Are there age or health restrictions? +

The minimum age is 10 for Discovery and 12 for Open Water. Every participant completes a medical questionnaire; certain conditions such as asthma, epilepsy, or heart problems require a doctor’s clearance.

How long must I wait before flying? +

A minimum of 18 hours after your last dive for multiple dives, and a minimum of 12 hours for a single dive. We always build trip schedules with this in mind.

How do I register and pay? +

Fill in the booking form on this site or message us on WhatsApp. We confirm the schedule, then you secure your place with a deposit; the balance is settled before your first session.

The ocean is waiting. All that is left is for you to go down.
