PADI Open Water Diving Course in Koh Samui

Become a certified diver with this PADI Open Water Diving Course. You'll learn the skills you need to dive safely without the need for an instructor.

PADI Open Water Diving Course in Koh Samui

To become certified divers, you must pass an online theory exam to start the practical section. Passwords will be sent to you in advance to complete the course from home, saving you time during your travels.

After completing the theory course, you will meet at the Koh Samui dive centre to begin your PADI Open Water course.

Day 1: Confined waters practice

On the first day, we will pick you up from your hotel in Koh Samui at 8:30 am and take you to the dive centre. You will fill in a medical form and start the first practice session in confined waters. Equipment will be donned, and exercises, including assisting a companion in case of oxygen shortage, will be practised. After this session, we will return you to your hotel by 2:45 pm.

Day 2 & 3: Dives in open waters

On the second and third days, four dives in open waters will be conducted, essential for completing your PADI Open Water course. Pick up from your hotel will be at 7 am each day for the boat trip.

Dive sites will be Koh Tao and Sail Rock, subject to sea conditions. You will learn to check equipment, use a compass underwater, and remove vests while submerged. After the exercises, you will receive your PADI Open Water certificate, and we will return you to your hotel at 3:30 pm.

Lunch

Lunch is included during the course days, featuring a buffet of rice, noodles, salad, fish, and fresh fruit.
