What is the PADI Open Water Diver Course?

The PADI Open Water Course is the first level of diving certificate. You’ll learn how to become a safe, competent and confident diver and you’ll be certified to dive to a maximum depth of 18 meters. When you finish your PADI Open Water Course with us you’ll feel proud of your accomplishments, you’ll have made new friends and you’ll have your ticket to dive anywhere in the world.

During your course you’ll need to complete knowledge development (theory) modules and confined water (swimming pool) sessions, then you’ll be able to join us for your first incredible dives in the ocean. We like to be flexible because we understand that different people have different needs. Our courses last for 3 days and start from just 10,000 THB for our 4-dive beach course plus we have boat diving courses with options for 4, 5 or even 6 dives in the ocean!

What’s Involved?
