Beginner SSI Phuket packages

These options are ideal for absolute beginners who want to try scuba in a safe, controlled way before committing to a full certification.

​Why choose SSI Phuket

  • Warm tropical water, good visibility and year‑round diving make Phuket ideal for learning to dive or upgrading your certification.
  • SSI digital learning lets you complete theory online before you arrive, so you spend more time in the water and less in a classroom.
  • Course prices are per person in Thai Baht and beginner SSI courses include full equipment, boat meals where applicable, and transfers from main tourist areas.

How to choose your SSI course

  • Never dived before → start with a pool or beach session, or a simple Racha day trip, to a maximum of 12 m.
  • Want a lifelong certification → take the SSI Open Water Diver course for a licence to dive to 18 m worldwide.
  • Already certified to 18 m → choose SSI Advanced Adventurer to extend your depth limit and join more challenging trips.
  • Short on time → pick 1–2 day specialties such as Nitrox, Deep or Perfect Buoyancy to focus on specific skills.
