The PADI Open Water Diver course is designed for the complete beginner to learn the fundamental skills and essential steps of scuba diving in order to become a fully certified diver.

Age 10+, 2 days
This option allows you to complete the theory and pool sections of the PADI Open Water Course at your home Dive Centre, then come to Ko Lanta to make the 4 open water dives section of the course. A Referral PADI Open Water Course takes 2 days here (+ an hour or two the day before) and you can start any day you like. You can take a pool session to brush up on your skills before going out on the boat – at no extra cost.

Age 10+, 2.5 days
The PADI eLearning or Touch courses allow you to start your Open Water training online in most languages, so you can complete all the theory and final exam before you come on holiday saving you valuable holiday time. The part of the course you would take in Ko Lanta is reduced from 4 days to 2.5 days. It also means that you can spend less time in the classroom and more time on the beach, while you’re on holiday!

Age 10+, 3-4 days
The PADI Open Water Diver Course takes 4 days (occasionally can be completed in 3). The course comprises 2 days in the classroom & swimming pool and a further 2 days out on the boat to make 4 dives. You’ll learn how to assemble and take care of your equipment, use dive computers to plan your dives within accepted safety limits, avoid and deal with potentially difficult situations and complete skills both in the swimming pool and in open water.
