PADI Scuba Diver (THB 11,000)
The PADI Scuba Diver course is a limited certification course for those that do not have 3-days to do the full certification course. Here in Phuket the PADI Scuba Diver course is a two day course and is effectively 3/5 of the PADI Open Water course which is the basic PADI course. Our first day will be theory and pool and the second day will be open water diving with either two or three open water dives most likely at Racha Islands, south of Phuket. At the end you will receive a 12 metre limited certification. When you dive you will still have to dive with a PADI Divemaster or Instructor. It is a requirement that you will need to be able to float for 10 minutes for the course. You will most likely need two days for an upgrade in the future. It is more expensive in the long run as you will pay PADI certification fees twice.
