Description
Why should you get your PADI Open Water License?
This course equips you with the basics of deep water diving i.e. scuba diving. The course includes both in-classroom and in-water sessions. At the end of the period, there will be an exam to certify you as an Open Water diver by PADI. This will allow you to dive at every dive site not just Koh Tao but all over the world to a maximum depth of 18 meters, or 12 meters for the Junior Open Water Diver less than 13 years of age.
Open Water (equivalent to level 1 in some organizations) 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 helping you to sharpen your diving skills. After this, you can even explore other dive specialty options and become a Master Scuba Diver.
If you don’t have enough time or you aren’t sure whether you like diving, you can always try Discover Scuba Diving. You don’t need to be able to swim to do this. Our highly experienced instructor will be with you at all times underwater. You can also choose to start practicing in the pool to gain confidence first.
