Learn to Scuba Dive in Bangkok

Ever wanted to learn to scuba dive but live in the bustling metropolis of Bangkok? Aussie Divers Phuket now offers the perfect solution, allowing you to start your scuba diving journey in Bangkok and complete it in the beautiful waters of Phuket or Koh Tao. This flexible program is ideal for those with busy schedules who want to enjoy the convenience of completing the theory and pool practical lessons in their home city before experiencing open water dives in Thailand’s top diving destinations.

With Aussie Divers Phuket, you can complete the theory portion of the PADI Open Water Course entirely online using PADI eLearning. This allows you to study at your own pace and fit the coursework around your schedule, making it perfect for busy city dwellers. Once you’ve completed the online theory, you can join our professional English-speaking dive instructors in Bangkok for the pool training sessions. For group bookings, we offer the flexibility of conducting the pool training in one intensive day or spreading it out over two days at a more relaxed pace.

Our Bangkok-based pool sessions provide a thorough introduction to the essential skills needed for scuba diving. In the comfort of a controlled environment, you will learn how to set up and use your scuba equipment, practice essential safety procedures, and develop confidence in your abilities under the guidance of our experienced instructors. This initial training ensures that you are fully prepared for the exciting open-water dives to come.

After completing the theory and pool sessions, you can join Aussie Divers Phuket in either Phuket or Koh Tao to complete your open-water dives. These locations offer stunning dive sites with vibrant marine life and crystal-clear waters, providing an unforgettable experience for new divers. Whether you choose the spectacular reefs of Phuket or the lively underwater landscapes of Koh Tao, our team will ensure a seamless transition from pool to ocean.
