  • Trip introduction

    The PADI Open Water Diver course is the most popular scuba diving course in the world. In this course, you learn the various skills involved in scuba diving by completing four open water dives, swimming down to a depth of 60 feet. These dives are preceded by theory modules and training sessions in shallow water to give you the confidence to dive in the open ocean. The pristine, tropical blue waters of the Andaman Sea around Phuket ensure that Thailand is one of the best destinations to do this course. Throughout the course, a certified dive instructor will guide and train you.

    NOTE: All prices in this package are subject to fluctuations based on international currency exchange rates at the time of booking.
