In just 3 days, our professional team will take you from complete beginner to certified Open Water Diver, ready to dive to 18 metres anywhere in the world.

Why Choose Our Open Water Diver Course in Phuket?

All theory for the Open Water Diver Course is completed online at your own pace before you arrive. The SSI digital learning platform is free, multilingual, and includes videos, quizzes, and exams in 30+ languages. Our instructors come from Sweden, France, Australia, and the UK, so you can learn in your preferred language—no need to study in English unless you want to.

Unlike most dive centers, we have our own private training pool designed specifically for scuba lessons. Many other schools rent small, overcrowded public pools that don’t meet SSI depth or space requirements. Our facility gives you a safer, more comfortable learning experience.
