Here are the answers to the most frequently asked questions about Diving Courses, Koh Tao and Thailand.
Hi If we do a PADI Open Water Referral Course (ie do the basic pools skills and theory) before we come to thailand how much would it cost to complete the PADI Open Water Course? thanks

Hello Athina,
The price for the last 4 open water dives and the PADI certification would be 5.800 THB.
Depending on how long ago you did your pool sessions you need to pass a scuba review (1.500 THB) prior to your course to refresh all the skills again.

Hi Federico,
We can offer you a Taraporn bungalow for 7.500 THB per month. Also there are plenty of long term rental bungalows spread around Koh Tao and we can help you to find one as well. To get a job after your Divemaster training depends on the season and also on how many languages you speak.

Hi I would like to ask you if we can dive in Koh Tao with you. I have no certification but I made OWD course a couple of years ago and I also took many divings (which I have written in my dive book). My husband is Advanced OPD and he has his certification. So, Can we dive with you ? Please, let me know!. We are going to Samui in March. Many thanks Laly

I'm interested in the freediving course, But being not a good swimmer myself, what is the requirement for taking part in the free dive? as well after the completion, are we suppose to receive a certificate of sort?
Oct. 12, 2010 by Justin Poh, Brunei
Hallo Justin,
you don't have to be a very good swimmer, but you should be able to swim and feel comfortable in the water. After completing the course you will receive a certification card.

My husband and I will be completing the theory and pool dives at home before arriving in Thailand. Is it possible to do the open water training dives only to receive the certification? How much would this cost, and how long would it take? Thank you!!

To give you a quote we need to know if you are doing a PADI or SSI course at home.
