PADI Open Water Course Summary

Ready to become a diver? Have you been snorkeling or even diving before? Want to get your PADI? If so, then start with our 3 days PADI Open Water Diver Course now!

If you have never dived or snorkeled before, this is also not a problem. In this case we will just start more slowly and get you comfortable in the water. We would love to talk to you, so we can adjust your PADI Open Water Course to your comfort level.

At first we will review your e-learning dive theory on day 1 and go diving with you in our pool to practise.

After that the next 2 days you will be diving the Andaman Sea with your PADI dive instructor from Andaman Dive Adventure Lanta’s big boat at our beautiful dive sites.

We believe in small diving groups for learning. With this in mind, please let us know if you are with a group of people. In that case, we can assign more dive instructors to you. This certainly results in better diving safety and more enjoyment.

After successfully finishing this PADI diving course, you will receive a PADI Open Water Diver online certification card. Once you have your diving card, you will be able to dive anywhere in the world for the rest of your life.
