PADI scuba diving courses - for beginners

If you don't have the time for full diver training, but would like to experience the ease and thrill of diving, join us for our half or full day program.

Our instructors will teach you basic theory and familiarize you with the equipment before accompanying you on a beautiful, controlled dive to limited depth. You have the option of diving either at a local coral reef, or in the clear waters off the island of Ko Racha.

Thinking of getting certified for an upcoming vacation, but don't have the time to put into a regular diver course? Now there's a quick and easy program designed especially for you! The PADI Scuba Diver program is a pre-entry level certification that is perfect for vacationers or people who only plan to dive a couple times per year.

As a subprogram of the PADI Open Water Diver program, the PADI Scuba Diver rating allows you to get certified quickly and easily by minimizing time constraints. With the PADI Scuba Diver certification you can dive under the direct supervision of a PADI professional on your next vacation or dive trip.

During the course you will use the PADI Open Water Diver Manual and Video. Credit earned in this program can be used toward the Open Water Diver certification. The Open Water Diver course uses the same materials as the Scuba Diver course, so you will already be on your way to continuing further dive adventures.

The Open Water Diver Course is for the beginner or non-certified diver and will give you all the required knowledge and skills necessary to make your diving safe and fun.

The first two days are devoted to diving theory and practice, with five academic modules, four short quizzes, the final exam, five pool sessions and a 200 meter swim test.

The remaining two days conclude with four open water training dives under the supervision of your instructor, while allowing you to enjoy the tropical reefs of the Andaman Sea. Depending on the time of year, your four open water training dives will take place at Kata beach or on our day trip boat.

After completion of the course, you will become certified as an internationally recognized PADI Open Water Diver.

The PADI Open Water Diver Course knowledge development is now also available online.
