   Not sure if you'll like diving? Then try out the   Discover Scuba Diving  program. On this 1 day trial course you’ll learn some basic rules, safety precautions, and signs used in scuba diving. Then we'll have you in the water that very afternoon playing with the fish and sting rays! If you like it and want to continue on with the open water course, then you can simply continue on as the Discover Scuba Diving is actually the first day of the open water course. 2,000 baht

Due to a change in PADI standards, effective 1 January 2006, all student divers must have in their possession a set of current materials for study and use during the course and for reference afterwards. Having your own personal materials will help you enhance retention of dive knowledge. To comply with the new standards most courses include the necessary materials in the course price unless noted otherwise.

   If you would like to do a scuba diving course but don't have the time, then try the  PADI scuba diver  course. 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 a year. The Scuba Diver program can be completed in as little as 2 days. With the PADI Scuba Diver certification you can dive under the direct supervision of a PADI Dive Master, Assistant Instructor or Instructor to a maximum depth of 12 meters on your next vacation or dive trip. The course price includes the PADI manual and PADI dive table. 7,500 baht


   The  Open Water Diver  Course will teach you the basics of scuba diving over a 4 day course. The course is broken into 3 parts: 5 academic sessions, 5 confined water sessions and 4 open water dives. During the academic sessions you will learn basic dive theory and safety together with your instructor and through independent self study. You will learn basic dive skills such as removing and replacing your mask, sharing air with another diver and buoyancy control during the confined water sessions. Confined water sessions will initially be conducted at a depth of 1 meter, then gradually we’ll take you down to a maximum depth of 5 meters.

   And finally, you’ll be able to put all your knowledge and skills to the test during your 4 open water dives. Your first few open water dives will be to a maximum depth of 12 meters and will be completed on our house reef. Your final dives will be to a maximum depth of 18 meters to one of the many dive sites surrounding Koh Tao.
