What is PADI Open Water certification?

Open Water is an entry-level for scuba diving. This is suitable for all beginners without any experience requirements. It takes 3 days in total for the course in Koh Tao, Thailand. This level allows you to dive independently at a maximum depth of 18 meters.

Advanced Open Water is the next step for most divers who want to master their skills. Mainly, it allows you to increase your depth limit to 30 meters. The course includes other adventures that help you to sharpen your diving skills. After this, you can explore other dive specialty options and become a Master Scuba Diver.

If you don’t have enough time or aren’t sure whether you like diving, you can always try Discover Scuba Diving especially the two-dive option. You don’t need to be able to swim to do this. Our highly experienced instructor will be with you underwater at all times. You can also choose to start practicing in the pool to gain confidence first.

Why should you get the PADI Open Water License?

This is one of the most common questions for a new diver. Like many other organizations, PADI is a well-known and well-accepted diving organization. Unlike many others, PADI remains one of the most recognizable worldwide. With complete flexibility and continuity, you can start your PADI Open Water journey from the beginning when you arrive at Koh Tao. Or you can even do a theory and skill session in your local area before the trip here. We also offer a partial course for you to get the certification.

Obtaining PADI certification means total peace of mind on your future dive vacation. A fully digitalized license and database ensure everyone knows your current dive level, even if you forget your e-card. No more getting rejected from the dive because the card was misplaced.

If this is your first step in scuba diving, we assure you it’ll be a long journey exploring the new magnificent world.
