    Whale Shark Sighting

    Just last week we saw a fantastically large whale shark in Chumphon pinnacle! Made the whole trip to Thailand worth it for many of our divers. Whalesharks are regular visitors of the larger pinnacles around Koh Tao and make the island one of the few places in the world, where a scuba diver can get so close to the largest shark in the oceans. In general, whalesharks like divers! They just love to swim through the bubbles and get an extra portion of oxygen. Just last week we saw a fantastically large whale shark in Chumphon pinnacle!

SSI – Scuba Skills Update

 

Scuba Skills Update

 

Fun diving on koh tao in the gulf of thailand beautiful marine life underwater seahorse koh tao Has it been a while since you’ve been scuba diving?

Do you feel like your scuba skills and knowledge are a bit rusty?

The Scuba Skills Update course is just the refresher you need. It re-acquaints you with diving and all the skills you need so that you’re back to feeling comfortable and confident in the underwater world in less than a day.

In the Scuba Skills Update, we will go over the scuba knowledge you learned during your initial training. Then, we will practice those fundamental skills in a shallow area near the beach. The review re-acquaints you with equipment preparation and safe diving practices as well as dive planning fundamentals, problem management and a review of how diving tables work.
After you complete the knowledge assessment, you go through the Confined Water Skills Preview. You review information about each skill, why it’s important, points to remember when performing the skill and a short video clip. Completing this section just before practising is a great way to refresh your knowledge of how each skill is performed.
