CONFINED WATER TRAINING

• There are also 5 modules for confined water training. We conduct this training at the beach which is a marvelous location for a first time experience. During this the students will develop the diving skills required to participate in open water dives. Confined water training usually takes half a day although it is subject to each student.

4 UNFORGETTABLE DIVES

• On the last two days of the course we visit the islands on our dive boat. It takes 45 minutes to get out to the best dives sites, so less time traveling and more time enjoying the island sites.
  Each trip consists of two dives at some of the best dive sites in Thailand. This is appreciate the training and enjoy the experience.

WHAT DO WE SEE

• Phi Phi Island dive sites are abundant with marine life. Turtles, schools of snappers, black tip reef sharks, moray eels, lionfish, clownfish, groupers, baracudas, leopard sharks, sea horses, nudibranchs, pufferfish, parrotfish, angelfish, butterflyfish and the list goes on, and on, and on….

BUFFET LUNCH

Between the two dives there is a short break to enjoy the beautiful bays, during which we provide a delicious buffet of Thai cuisine.
