Scuba diver course
If your holiday time is very limited though you still want to become a certified diver, the Scuba Divers course might be the right option for you. The Scuba Diver certificate is the “pre-entry” level which you can complete in 2 days. As a Scuba Diver, you are allowed to dive to a maximum depth of 12 meters under the direct supervision of a PADI professional. Later, when it suits your schedule, you can upgrade your certificate to an Open Water Diver level anywhere in the world.The 1st day is the same as entering the Discover Scuba Diving program. You will go for a daytrip to Raya Yai Island, get some theory lessons from the instructor, make one shallow dive and do some skill training in the afternoon. After the daytrip you will have some more theory lessons at our class room in Phuket.
On the 2nd day we will go to a beautiful little beach in Phuket called Yanui where you will learn a bit more theory, practice in the shallow water and make one more scuba dive from the beach.
In case you want to continue after the 2nd day and get the full beginner level certificate, you can just continue for one more day and become Open Water Diver.
NOTE! This program was mainly developed for people with time limitations. That is why we recommend doing the full Open Water Diver course if you are interested in getting certified and starting scuba diving as a hobby.
