We offer beginners PADI courses for people who are visiting Koh Phangan and don’t have the time to get certified, or who want to check it out first. It’s possible to have a genuine experience of SCUBA diving in a safe and controlled style.
After a careful briefing on diving safety rules, techniques and equipment, you start with some simple skill practice just below the surface of the water. Once this is done you can then enjoy a relaxed fun dive or 2 to a maximum 12 metres depth, with your instructor to take care.

Although 4 is permitted by PADI, we usually specify a maximum of 2 divers per PADI professional.

Please note that part of the paperwork for beginners PADI courses is a Diving Medical Declaration; if you can answer the questions with a “no” it’s fine, but if there’s a “yes” please check with your doctor first.

Your beginners diving options are listed below:-

Koh Phangan Reef Diving (1 dive)

An easy option is to Discover SCUBA Diving in a long morning or afternoon session here on Koh Phangan, with a nice relaxed fun dive on a coral reef at one of our local dive sites.

This is definitely the best plan for people who are not sure if SCUBA diving is right for them.

If you let us know in advance, the dive can be credited towards your Open Water Diver training when you want to get certified…

Big Boat Diving Trip (2 dives)

A more adventurous option is to join us on a day diving trip to Sail Rock. You will follow the same training programme as above, but after the first fun dive you will then have a break for lunch, followed by a second fun dive with your instructor.

Your 1st dive can be credited towards an Open Water Diver course with us if you want to get PADI certification, or you can join us for more fun diving trips at the certified diver price…

Bubblemaker!

The PADI “Bubblemaker” programme introduces SCUBA diving as an activity that allows kids to experience the underwater world – and they generally love it!
Under the close supervision of their Instructor, they can swim around on scuba in shallow confined water – just playing – and maybe trying 1 or 2 fun exercises if they want.
We can make bubbles off the beach in the shallows inside the reef, or in a nice big swimming pool.
