Diving is all about exploring the beauty of the underwater world. However, an often-overlooked element crucial to safe and enjoyable diving is the quality of the air in your scuba tank. At Oceans 5 Gili Air, divers can rest assured knowing that the dive center goes above and beyond in ensuring the air they breathe underwater is not just good, but exceptional.

The Importance of Great Air

For scuba divers, air is more than just oxygen in a tank; it's a lifeline. Poor air quality can lead to discomfort, headaches, or even serious medical issues like decompression sickness or oxygen toxicity. Oceans 5 Gili Air understands that safety and comfort underwater begin well before divers enter the water, starting right at the compressor room. Recognizing this critical point, Oceans 5 invested heavily in upgrading their compressor facilities, solidifying their commitment to diving safety and comfort.

Introducing the Brand-New Compressor Room

About six months ago, Oceans 5 Gili Air, in collaboration with Dive Sport Bali, undertook an extensive overhaul of their compressor room. This significant upgrade included installing cutting-edge equipment from leading manufacturer Bauer, known globally for excellence in high-pressure compressors.

The new compressor room at Oceans 5 Gili Air is not only a functional facility but also an impressive example of modern technology meeting thoughtful design. Ensuring a continuous and reliable supply of purified air, the compressor room features a comprehensive array of equipment:

  • Two Bauer Compressors: At the heart of the system are two state-of-the-art Bauer compressors, renowned for their reliability, efficiency, and capacity to deliver clean, dry air consistently. This redundancy ensures that even during high-demand periods, such as the peak dive season, Oceans 5 can comfortably meet diver needs without compromising on air quality.

  • Membrane System: A sophisticated membrane system is integral to the air purification process. The membrane separates nitrogen from oxygen, allowing precise control over gas blends. This capability is essential for nitrox diving, a popular option at Oceans 5, enabling divers to safely extend bottom time and enhance their underwater experiences.

  • Advanced Nitrox System: To support the growing popularity of enriched air diving, Oceans 5 has installed a modern nitrox blending system. This advanced setup allows precise adjustments of oxygen levels, ranging from standard air (21%) up to enriched mixes like 32% and 36%. Such flexibility ensures divers can optimize their diving profiles safely.

  • Air Cooling Solutions: One critical aspect of air compression is managing temperature. Compressed air naturally heats up, and without proper cooling, it can contain moisture, leading to poor-quality air or potential damage to diving equipment. Oceans 5’s compressor room employs an advanced air cooler and two powerful turbo coolers, significantly lowering the air temperature post-compression. This meticulous cooling process ensures the delivered air is dry and comfortable to breathe, enhancing diver safety and equipment longevity.


  • Massive Intake Fan: Fresh, uncontaminated air is vital for maintaining excellent air quality in scuba tanks. To achieve this, Oceans 5 installed a large industrial-grade fan, strategically positioned to continuously supply fresh air directly into the membrane intake system. This ensures that divers breathe clean, uncontaminated air every time.

Rigorous Maintenance and Training

Installing world-class equipment is just part of the equation. At Oceans 5, a strict monthly maintenance protocol guarantees that each component of the compressor system functions optimally. Regular inspections, cleaning, and preventive maintenance ensure uninterrupted high-quality air supply, reinforcing the center's reputation as one of the most trusted dive operations in Indonesia.

Furthermore, Oceans 5’s staff underwent comprehensive training to master the new compressor equipment. Dive Sport Bali facilitated specialized training courses, equipping the Oceans 5 team with in-depth knowledge and hands-on expertise in operating and maintaining the advanced compressor systems. This education ensures that the team confidently manages every aspect of air production, from routine daily operations to addressing any rare technical issues swiftly and effectively.

Environmental Responsibility

Alongside prioritizing diver safety, Oceans 5 is deeply committed to environmental responsibility. The upgraded compressor room incorporates energy-efficient equipment and environmentally friendly technologies. This conscientious choice significantly reduces the dive center's carbon footprint, aligning with Oceans 5’s broader mission of promoting sustainability and conservation.

The Diver's Experience

What does this all mean for the divers who choose Oceans 5 Gili Air? Simply put, confidence, comfort, and safety. Diving with tanks filled from Oceans 5’s state-of-the-art compressor system means breathing air that is dry, clean, and precisely blended to suit specific diving needs. Divers consistently report noticeable improvements in breathing comfort, reduced fatigue, and enhanced enjoyment of their dives, thanks directly to the quality air provided.
