Open Water Diving Course 5 Dives in 3 Days

Open Water Diving Course 5 Dives in 3 Days

We are a small, friendly diving school in Koh Tao located at the north end of the popular Sairee beach; the instructors and divemasters we use have several years of experience teaching and have logged hundreds of dives around the world. We all have a passion for diving and love to teach and share our knowledge and experiences. One way or another we have all found our way to Koh Tao and made it our home and when you get here you will see why.

Our aim is to give fun, safe and enjoyable diving whether it is fun diving or just starting your diving adventure and you will leave the island with some amazing memories and experiences to share with your friends and family. We keep our groups small, a maximum of four customers per group to give you an excellent, personal service. We keep the pace of the courses relaxed and you will have time to enjoy the island and watch the amazing sunsets while you learn to dive.

The most popular diving certification is for the Open Water Course. Our cost includes all equipment rental, a digital certification sent straight to your phone, a digital manual accessible from your phone, free diving insurance from Dive Assure during your training, a free app for recording your training and logging your dives and if you book in advance a free taxi from the pier. The open water course is divided into academic sessions for the theory, shallow water training sessions where we practice the skills required for diving and 4 open water dives in the ocean and after completion you will certified to dive to 18m!

The first 2 open water dives are to a maximum depth of 12m but to begin with we are normally shallow than this, once you feel comfortable underwater we can go a little bit deeper and start to explore. Dives 3 and 4 are to maximum depth of 18m and we dive deeper and further than before, you will be amazed. At all times your instructor will be with you to keep you safe, and you practice some of the skills you did earlier in the shallow water training and find all the cool stuff under the sea. We can also include accommodation at our partner resort or hostel, prices start from 350b per night, please ask about the room types and prices.
