PADI Advanced Open Water เกาะเต่า – ดำน้ำแบบโปรที่ลึกกว่าเดิม

ไดฟ์ภาคบังคับ

การดำน้ำ 2 ไดฟ์นี้ไม่สามารถเปลี่ยนได้ เพราะเป็นการสร้างรากฐานที่สำคัญสำหรับใบรับรอง Advanced ใบใหม่ของคุณ

1. การดำน้ำลึก (Deep Adventure Dive)

Welcome to the deep blue. This dive introduces you to the physiological changes, safety protocols, and strict planning required for diving between 18 meters and 30 meters. Under the direct supervision of your Nava instructor, you will experience firsthand how pressure affects objects at depth. We usually bring down a colorful neoprene chart to show you how colors like red and yellow completely disappear at 30 meters. You will also learn how to closely monitor your air consumption, which drastically increases at depth. Finally, you will learn to identify the signs of nitrogen narcosis. This is a temporary, harmless, but noticeable feeling of mild intoxication that can occur in deeper water. It vanishes as soon as you ascend.

2. การนำทางใต้น้ำ (Underwater Navigation Adventure Dive)

Getting lost underwater ruins a good dive. The navigation dive turns you from a follower into a leader. You will learn how to use an underwater compass with absolute precision. You will practice estimating distances underwater using kick cycles (counting your fin kicks) and elapsed time. Your instructor will have you navigate a straight line out and back, and then perform a complex square or rectangle pattern over the reef. Mastering this means you can confidently find your way back to the dive boat without needing to surface and look around. It is a massive boost to your underwater confidence.

3. การควบคุมการลอยตัวขั้นสูง (Peak Performance Buoyancy Adventure Dive)

If there is one elective we aggressively recommend to every single diver, it is this one. Good buoyancy is the exact metric that separates beginners from pros. This dive is entirely focused on achieving perfect neutral buoyancy. You will practice hovering effortlessly in multiple positions without using your hands, gliding inches over delicate reefs without touching them, and utilizing your lung volume to make micro-adjustments to your depth. Better buoyancy means you encounter less drag, which means you use less air, which ultimately means your dives last longer. You will also fine-tune your weight system, often dropping unnecessary lead from your belt, making your dives far more comfortable.

4. การดำน้ำกลางคืน (Night Adventure Dive)

Are you ready to see a completely different ocean? As the sun sets over Koh Tao, the nocturnal predators come out to hunt. You will drop into the dark, armed with an underwater torch. You will learn how to communicate using light signals, manage your spatial awareness in the dark, and observe creatures you rarely see during the day. Expect to see hunting barracuda, giant moray eels swimming freely, and bioluminescent plankton that sparkles neon blue when you wave your hands in the water. It is a surreal, unforgettable experience.

5. การดำน้ำดูเรือจม (Wreck Adventure Dive)

Koh Tao is home to the famous HTMS Sattakut. This is a former Thai Navy craft that was intentionally sunk to create a thriving artificial reef. It sits beautifully upright in the sand, with the top of the wreck at around 18 meters and the propellers resting near 30 meters. During this dive, you will learn how to safely navigate the exterior of a massive shipwreck. You will practice identifying potential hazards like sharp metal edges or snagged fishing lines, and you will observe how marine life transforms a sunken piece of human history into a vibrant habitat. หมายเหตุ: ในไดฟ์นี้คุณจะไม่ได้ว่ายน้ำเข้าไปด้านในตัวเรือ (Penetration) เพราะจำเป็นต้องผ่านคอร์ส PADI Wreck Diver Specialty แบบเต็มรูปแบบเสียก่อน ซึ่งเราขอแนะนำอย่างยิ่งให้คุณลงเรียนเป็นคอร์สต่อไป!

6. การระบุชนิดปลา (Fish Identification Adventure Dive)

Do you ever point at a weird fish underwater and wonder, “What on earth is that?” The Fish ID dive turns you into a casual underwater marine biologist. You will learn about the basic families of fish that inhabit the Gulf of Thailand. You will learn how to identify them by their overall shape, fin placement, swimming patterns, and habitat preferences. We will also teach you the specific hand signals the pros use to point out sea turtles, reef sharks, triggerfish, and tiny nudibranchs to dive buddies. Knowing exactly what you are looking at makes every dive infinitely more interesting.

7. การดำน้ำด้วยไนตร๊อกซ์ (Enriched Air Nitrox Adventure Dive)

Want to stay deeper for a longer time? Enriched Air (commonly known as Nitrox) replaces some of the nitrogen in your scuba tank with extra oxygen. Standard air is 21% oxygen; Nitrox is usually 32% oxygen. Less nitrogen entering your body means you have significantly longer allowable bottom times without going into decompression. This adventure dive introduces you to the safety procedures of Nitrox diving. You will learn how to use an oxygen analyzer to test your own tank and how to set your personal dive computer for a Nitrox mix. It is the perfect introduction to the most popular specialty course in the world.
