Safe, Clear & FunThat's How We Learn.

ASD Course with Kurabesi

At first, I was hesitant about where to take Advance Specialty Diver course, but I finally decided on Kurabesi Dive School, and it turned out to be the best decision! The instructors were super helpful. We were given thorough theory explanations and pool sessions first before doing our certification dives in the sea, which made us feel much more prepared and confident. The ocean sessions took place in the Kepulauan Seribu (Pulau Pramuka), and everything was totally worth it! The accommodation and food were great, the vibe with the other students and instructors was so much fun, and we even got the chance to visit top-recommended dive sites in there like Tabula Rasa and the Area Perlindungan Laut (APL). Overall, highly recommended for anyone looking to take to take their diving journey further!

Why stay on the surface when you can dive?

If you’re looking for a 5-star dive school or an amazing dive trip, I highly recommend Kurabesi! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I completed my Advanced Specialty Diver (ASD) course here, and had a fantastic experience. The instructors were professional, incredibly helpfull, and super organized. They also arranged great accommodation on Pramuka island! So lucky to share this experience with great buddies and three amazing instructors on this trip. Huge thanks to Jonat, Zaki, and Raymond for making this experience fun & memorable! Looking forward to more exciting diving adventures with Kurabesi! 🌊

Kurabesi dive school is 5 stars

I did the Open Water Diver course with Kurabesi and it was a wonderful experience! From the pool session, the online SSI resources and the open water weekend - I felt safe, relaxed and had a lot of fun! On top of that the pace of learning was perfect, building up skills and knowledge with each session. The team is amazing so if you’re thinking about learning in Jakarta I would highly recommend Kurabesi.

Underwater Gratitude

Awesome sessions & trips! Thank you, Uncle Raymond and team, for sharing and guiding us to see the whole new world under the huge blue blanket! Your professionalism and hospitality are top notch!

Unforgettable experience underwater 💗

A Wonderful First Diving Experience with Kurabesi Dive School 🤿💙 Getting my scuba diving certification with Kurabesi Dive School was such a memorable experience! As someone who was quite nervous about diving at first, I’m really grateful to have had such patient, supportive, and professional instructors. They guided me through every step, from the pool training to the open-water dives, and always made sure I felt safe and comfortable. I gained so much confidence throughout the course and ended up enjoying diving more than I expected! Thank you to the entire Kurabesi team for making my first certification journey such a great experience. I’m definitely looking forward to more dives and new underwater adventures! 🌊🐠 Highly recommended for anyone looking to learn diving with a friendly and professional team! ❤️

Great Sidemount Learning

Went for refresher Side Mount session. Start with very relevant theory session (and not too long) continues with clear and practical guidance underwater. Five star for sure

Experience report (father & 14-year-old daughter)

We booked our Open Water Diver (OWD) course at Kurabesi Dive School just one week before our arrival in Indonesia – and from the first contact to the certification on Pulau Pramuka, everything was professional, safe, and really fun for me and my 14-year-old daughter. - Personal, smooth organization with Pak Raymond Pak Raymond organized everything very friendly and efficiently from the beginning. Despite our very last-minute booking, he clearly explained all the procedures to us and arranged a private course just for the two of us. - Thorough online theory with Pak Jonata After we completed the e-learning modules, Pak Jonata held an online meeting in which he explained the most important content again, answered all our questions, and ensured that we really understood everything before we went into the water. - Patient, safe pool training with Pak Hizkia Our dive instructor Pak Hizkia was simply outstanding in the pool. He explained every skill in detail and calmly and adjusted the pace to our comfort level. When I briefly panicked during my first descent into deeper pool water, he suggested surfacing, taking a short break, and only trying again when I was ready. Exactly this safety-oriented approach made the difference; after the short break, everything went smoothly. - Pulau Pramuka: Certification done correctly and with joy On Pulau Pramuka, Pak Hizkia guided us through the required training dives and exams in a structured and relaxed manner. We met all OWD requirements, received our certification, and still had enough time to enjoy the island and the underwater world. The combination of sound training and a friendly atmosphere made the entire trip unforgettable for both of us. - Why we will dive with Kurabesi again What stands out in particular at Kurabesi Dive School is the balance between training, safety, and fun: - Very flexible: They organized a private course for us on short notice. - Safety focus: The instructors consistently emphasize safety, comfort, clear communication, and correct procedures – especially with nervous or young divers. - Strong training: From the online theory (Pak Jonata) to pool and open water skills (Pak Hizkia), the instruction is detailed, logically structured, and encouraging. - Community feeling: Kurabesi sees itself as a diving community, which motivates us to participate in further trips and events in the future. We are grateful to Pak Raymond, Pak Jonata, and especially Pak Hizkia for sharing their passion with us and enabling us to have a safe, confident start to diving. We are already looking forward to going on one of their diving trips with Kurabesi again.

Thousand Island 2 day trip: awesome

We wanted to end our indonesia travels with some diving in the Jakarta region. A quick search led us to Kurabesi, whom were very responsive and happy to set up our last-minute request for some diving in the Thousand Islands. The next day, we hopped on the ferry with Zaki. A very friendly, joyous and knowledgeable guide. He showed us the area, gave some good tips for us in Indonesia. The dive sites were better than what we had expected. Some very nice corals & wrecks. Zaki was also happy to let us practice some skills during the dive, which we asked for. We would definitely recommend. Thank you, Zaki & co!

The best school dive in Indo!

I recently completed my Open Water Diver certification with Kurabesi Dive School, and I couldn't be more grateful for the experience. What stood out the most was how supportive, patient, and encouraging the entire team was throughout the learning process. I joined the trip while recovering from a hand injury and honestly wasn't sure if I would be able to complete the course. However, the instructors took the time to guide me through each step, ensuring that I felt safe, comfortable, and confident both in the pool and in open water. A special thank you to Kak Raymond, Kak Zaki, Kak Hizkia, Kak Jonat, Kak Friska, and Kak Timmy, who were incredibly patient and always willing to answer questions, provide feedback, and help us improve after every dive. One thing I particularly loved about Kurabesi is their reflection session after each dive. Instead of simply moving on to the next dive, they take time to discuss what went well and what can be improved. This creates a learning environment that is supportive, constructive, and focused on continuous growth. Beyond the technical skills, I learned valuable lessons about staying calm under pressure, building confidence underwater, and progressing at my own pace without comparing myself to others. For anyone considering learning to dive, especially beginners, I highly recommend Kurabesi Dive School. The professionalism, safety standards, supportive instructors, and positive learning culture made this an unforgettable experience. Thank you, Kurabesi, for helping me become a certified scuba diver and for making the journey such a memorable one.

Open Water Certification

I chose Kurabesi as the starting point of my ocean journey, and it turned out to be an amazing experience. As someone with prior experience in various water sports, I had high expectations when selecting my first diving school—and Kurabesi exceeded them. The instructors were incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and thorough. They explained the reasoning behind every diving rule and procedure in a logical and easy-to-understand way, which gave us a deep understanding of what was happening with both our bodies and our equipment throughout the dive. Beyond the training itself, they never compromised on quality. From the food and accommodation to the diving gear provided for learning, everything was carefully chosen and maintained to a high standard. They truly strive to offer the best possible experience for their students. I couldn’t have asked for a better place to begin my diving journey. Highly recommended.

Simply the best

I had an excellent experience with the Open Water Diving course. The operations team was prompt, responsive, and accommodating, while the instructors were professional, patient, and encouraging. Safety was always a priority at every exploration site, which made the whole journey enjoyable and rewarding. Thank you to the entire team for a truly memorable diving experience!

An exceptional diving school with heart, depth and community spirit

Kurabesi is an absolutely spectacular diving school. What stands out the most for me is the human approach — they make you feel like part of the team from the very beginning. This is not a place that treats diving as a one-off experience or a checklist goal. It’s a space for real learning, deep understanding, and ongoing growth. They foster a true sense of community, where safety is taken seriously, questions are welcomed, and patience and dedication are constant. The instructors clearly love what they do, and it shows in every detail — from the way they explain the ocean, to how they guide you with care and respect. There’s no pretentiousness, only a genuine, relaxed, and respectful atmosphere — both towards the students and the marine environment. The buddy spirit is strong, which is so important in diving, and you feel it throughout. They also have a club in Jakarta where they train in the pool regularly — something I find essential. Things can happen at sea, and being prepared makes a big difference. Their focus on preparation, safety and ongoing training really sets them apart. Honestly, they’re a 10 out of 10. I can’t recommend them enough.

New core memories unlocked!

One of the best investments in life! Get an SSI diving certificate in Kurabesi with a professional, fun, and impressive instructor. The price of competing fees, the trips seru, the humble Kurabesi team and the gait of knowledge. Want to share and ask anything. The community also looks solid. In addition to diving schools, they also provide play-pool classes for refreshment and open diving trips throughout Indonesia and abroad. Thank you Jonat, Zaki, Timotius, Vini, Airin!

Best diving school in Jakarta

Recently completed a diving lesson for open water diver with Kurabesi and i was very satisfied from the start of the course until completion! Instructor Jonata and Edward were excellent: detail-oriented, very calm and soft-spoken. Diving alongside them felt very secure. Maybe the responsiveness from the admin during the first contact could be improved tho, as it took a long time for the admin to reply to my queries.

Stress & Rescue Course in Kurabesi

Following the Stress & Rescue course at kurabesi provides a very valuable experience in improving diving skills. The materials taught not only strengthen the aspect of self-security, but also emphasize the importance of caring for fellow divers. With a clear combination of theory and intensive field practice, I feel much more prepared for emergencies and more confident when diving. I highly recommend this program for anyone who wants to develop skills while adding a sense of responsibility as a diver.

Diving course certification

I’ve been diving with Kurabesi since 2019 and they never cease to impress me. This time around, I took part in React Right and Stress and Rescue certification where I learned about first aid, surface & underwater rescue, and so much more. The thing that I appreciate the most about the course is the teaching framework and approach that focus on pragmatic setting that goes beyond textbook theory. From day one, we were introduced to a variety of emergency scenarios and given the opportunity to simulate each one through engaging, hands-on application under the expert guidance of our highly skilled instructors, Raymond and Vina. The entire trip was a memorable experience, the food was delish! Best of all, I was excited to meet many new friends. Somehow, they always manage to pull this one off!

A must-experience course for every diver—Kurabesi's SSI Diver Stress and Rescue course

Recently completed the SSI Diver Stress and Rescue course with Kurabesi Diveschool, and it was a truly phenomenal experience that I can't recommend highly enough. While their reputation for creating confident Open Water divers is well-deserved, their advanced training is just as exceptional. This course was the perfect next step in my diving journey. Our instructor was not only an expert but also incredibly patient and engaging. They balanced the seriousness of emergency procedures with a fun, supportive learning environment. The theoretical portion, which covered topics like stress management and accident prevention, was conducted with clear, easy-to-understand explanations. What really set this course apart, however, was the practical application. The confined and open water sessions were thorough and challenging, pushing us beyond our comfort zones in the best way possible. We practiced everything from assisting a panicked diver to handling an unconscious diver at the surface, with realistic scenarios that fully prepared us for potential real-life incidents. The instructor's feedback was always constructive and tailored to each student, ensuring we all left feeling competent and confident. Beyond the course itself, joining Kurabesi is like becoming part of a passionate and welcoming community. They create a friendly atmosphere that makes every session, even the most challenging ones, feel safe and enjoyable. For any diver looking to level up their skills and become a more capable and responsible buddy, Kurabesi's SSI Diver Stress and Rescue course is the definitive choice. Thank you, Kurabesi team, for such a rewarding and memorable experience! I look forward to many more underwater adventures with you.

The best diving school in town!

My very first diving experience and for my Open Water Diver lessons with Kurabesi Diving School. It was really fun with total 4 students in a group and with very detail and experienced instructors (Jonata and Edward). They gave a very good lessons, made me feel more confidence and always ready for every diving. Was in the pool for the first lessons in 1 full day (2 divings) and 2D1N (4 divings). I will never forget my experience with Kurabesi. Thank you!

The best experience in Indonesia, even beyond diving!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Kurabesi Diving Center has made my stay in Indonesia unforgettable!! I came for a very short period with a very tight agenda. It was my 1st time in Indonesia. Raymond and Zaki managed to offer me the best of Jakarta and Bali, even beyond diving! They are very professional, and they will do their outmost to meet your needs. During the diving with Zaki, I felt safe at all times and we saw wonderful things. Then they organised dives in Bali for me, with a very good diving centre as well. Zaki is the secret gem of Jakarta!😊 He is a kind, respectful and funny person, and he will take care of you like a mum! You can trust them 100%. Dear both, Thank you so much for everything! It has been a magical experience.🤩 I will be back soon! Take good care of you and happy independance day!🇮🇩🎇🇮🇩 Berrie

Tulamben, Kubu and Amed Dive Trip

Took my Open Water License with Kurabesi, and now decided to go on my first ever trip to Tulamben with them too! Super happy that I decided to go with them. We were fully taken care of and brought to great dive sites such as the infamous USAT Liberty Wreck, Jemeluk Bay and Sidem. Our accommodations were also top notch, every breakfast we got a great view of Mt. Agung as the backdrop of our meals. I had a lot of fun both under and above the sea, would definitely recommend booking your next dive trip with Kurabesi!

Professional and helpful instructors.

Got recommended by a friend to get my lessons from Kurabesi and they didn't disappoint. Professional instructors and very helpful. They are also super patient and cater to the needs of their students. Will recommend everyone to take their diving lessons with Kurabesi.

Nice dive course and trip

Really nice open water dive course here. Safety, cleanliness is guaranteed. The explanation is very logical and provide with good information

Breath Under The Sea

I choose Kurabesi school for my first ever experience breath under the sea. The dive instructor (Zaki) was very professional and made me feel safe and comfortable throughout the entire process. #Lets breath under the sea together

Never a dull moment with Kurabesi!!

Going on dive trips with Kurabesi are definitely not any less fun, the only thing you need to worry about is laughing so much until your stomach hurts. Every trips are always well organized, the selected Dive Centres for each trips are already curated by the Kurabesi Team, so sketchy Dive Centres are definitely off the list!

Penida Trip!

Always greatful for the best trip ever, going to Penida without Kurabesi? I cannot imagine.. This trip is well-organized, also well-prepared. The ratio of guide & guests is good, and because of community based, got a lot of new friends. The best part? of course the dives! Love it!

Best dive school

Very talented and profesional dive instructors here and this dive school is not just a school but also a community so feel free to join and hang out (especially in diving) with us

Gives the feeling of belonging to a family

I just got back from one trip today, and I already can't wait to go on another ! I completed my Open Water Diver with Kurabesi after having done the pool session in France the week before. The experience with Kurabesi has been amazing. They are always present to answer questions and provide support whenever necessary. I definitely recommend Kurabesi and I won't hesitate to dive with them whenever I have the chance.

10/10 dive school (and so much more)

My boyfriend and I were going to Java to get our Open Water Diver. We have gotten such a warm welcome by the Kurabesi diving team. Our experience was excellent and will stay with us forever. They offered us to do the theory session online so it could fit our scedule perfectly. Zaki, our instructor, helped us so much with planning our trip. The dive trip was amazing including our stay at Pramuka Island with everything included, they make sure that everything is perfectly arranged (food, stay, gear rental, learning material etc.). Besides them being amazing instructors and helping us with planning our trip, they genuienly are very very nice people. Check out their Instagram page to see very good quality videos/photos of their diving. We are very thankfull to have diven with Kurabesi and would 100% do it again next time. We highly recommend Kurabeshi and we hope to see you again! Jasmijn & Rogier

Amazing Course Experience

Just completed Diver Stress and Rescue Speciality course with Kurabesi Dive School and it was an amazing experience. The most important things that Kurabesi DS is not just issued the certificate that's it, but more into build the habit on how to be the responsible divers. The knowledge given was proper and extra, but we still had so much fun too. A huge appreciation given to the instructor, Raymond and also Zaki for the tremendous guidance. And surely gonna see you again in following classes and trip !

Kurabesi Diveschool: An exceptional diveschool in Indonesia

I started my underwater exploration journey from open water certification to advanced adventurer level with Kurabesi Diveschool. Other than taking the certifications, I had joined numbers of their trips as well. More than just highly knowledgeable and helpful instructor and team members, their management skill is over the top. As I have experienced, Kurabesi has always been delivering their quality and safety to highest standard. The community that we have is so fun, empowering and positive vibes. Every trips and lessons I had with Kurabesi, has never been a dull moment!

Amazing Experience!

I remember the first time I learned to dive, I was so afraid. But I tried to facing my fear through scuba diving. It turned out so fun! Instructors and Dive Masters are very patient and friendly. Their explanations are easy to understand and the most important, it made me feel safe and comfortable. Kurabesi not only teach important things about diving, but provide a community to share and learn. We also learn about to appreciate something and do evaluation on every dive. Thank you Kurabesi Dive School for The Amazing Experience!
