PADI OPEN WATER DIVER
Now is the time to dive into the PADI Open Water Diver course, the most popular dive programme in the world! This is your ticket to a lifetime of intense adventure with PADI, the dive association that sets the standards in the global diving community. Why not learn to dive in Thailand?
Throughout the course, you'll learn fundamentals of scuba diving, including dive equipment and techniques. You will also earn a PADI Open Water Diver certification that is recognised worldwide. You earn this diving license by completing five sessions in a purpose-built 3½m deep diving pool at Patong Beach, five knowledge development sessions and by making four dives at some of the best Phuket scuba diving sites. The depth of the pool we use in Patong allows you to practise and ironing out safely any problems you may have, such as equalising your ears, prior to going out in the open seas.
As a certified PADI Open Water Diver you have the freedom to dive with a buddy independent of a professional. If you already tried a PADI Discover Scuba Diving experience or are PADI Scuba Diver certified, you may get credit from these courses to the open water programme. Your underwater adventure can begin as soon as today with the new PADI Open Water Diver Video! You can view this at your own pace in your hotel and then meet with one of our instructors for further assistance. Learning options for scuba diving in Phuket also include group or private instruction. Try to drop by the dive centre before your course starts so that you can collect your study manual and give yourself a jump start.
Virtually anyone who is in good health, reasonably fit, and comfortable in the water can earn a PADI Open Water Diver certification. At some point in the first day of your Thailand diving course, your PADI Instructor will ask you to demonstrate the ability to swim 200 metres and complete a bit of paperwork to get you on your way.
The PADI Open Water Diver license is a permanent scuba dive qualification. However, if you do not dive for over 12 months and you are a relatively an inexperienced diver, then we recommend you complete a refresher programme, such as the PADI Scuba Review. This can take as little as one hour of your time in the dive pool and gives you the chance to refresh those dive skills you may have forgotten. That way, when you do dive again you can relax and enjoy your dives, and be sure that you won't have any nasty surprises in store.
