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

PADI Open Water Diving Course in Koh Samui

To be certified, you must complete an online theory exam before the practical section. Passwords will be sent to you ahead of time, allowing course completion from home, thus saving time during travel.

After finishing the theory, meet at the Koh Samui dive centre to start your PADI Open Water course.

Day 1: Confined waters practice

On the first day, pick up from your hotel in Koh Samui at 8:30 am will take you to the dive centre to fill out a medical form and begin the first practice session in confined waters. You'll practice key skills such as assisting a companion with oxygen, floating, and mask application.

After the first session, return to your hotel at 2:45 pm.

Day 2 & 3: Dives in open waters

On days two and three, conduct four dives in open waters, essential for completing your PADI Open Water course. Pick up from your hotel at 7 am will take you to the boat.

You'll dive at sites like Koh Tao and Sail Rock, conditions permitting. Skills such as equipment checks, compass orientation underwater, and vest removal will be practiced. Explore the Gulf of Thailand's diverse marine life while learning.

Upon completion, receive your PADI Open Water certificate and return to your hotel at 3:30 pm.
