Course Options & Pricing
A 2 day PADI Scuba Diver course won’t take a chunk of time out of your holiday. The course will begin in our PADI 5* Dive Center in Rawai. We have very comfortable classrooms and our own swimming pool for a seamless course flow. There’s no 30-40 minute truck ride to the nearest swimming pool which is the case with many Phuket Open Water courses. When you get hungry, we also have an onsite restaurant to fill your belly.
On the second day you will head out to the clear blue waters of Racha Noi/Yai to practice your skills and therefore get a taste of this new world that’s being opened up to you. The third dive will be just for fun and a chance to explore under the guidance of your PADI instructor.
