Technology has brought about dramatic improvements in the tools we use in everyday life. We have seen a similar evolution in the dive industry. For this reason a new training option for the PADI Open Water Diver course has been developed. Searobin recommends completing your Open Water course using dive computers instead of dive table.

The fun part

PADI Open water samuiThe fun part about this course is . . . well, just about all of it because learning to dive is incredible. You breathe underwater for the first time (something you'll never forget) and learn what you need to know to become a certified diver. You will be going into the ocean space and its most likely the closest that you will get to outer space!

During the course, you’ll make at least five pool dives in the pool followed by four open water dives at prime location around Ko Samui.

What will you learn

The PADI / IFDI Open Water Diver course consists of three main phases:

  • Knowledge Development (online or home study) to understand basic principles of scuba diving
  • Confined Water Dives to learn basic scuba skills
  • Open Water Dives to review your skills and explore!

Our dive school's PADI / IFDI Open Water Diver courseOpen Water Samui lasts only three days for a group size of maximum of 4 people. In order to complete all the theory and the confined water exercises in one day we have to limit the group size to 4 divers. All our courses are on private basis.
Diving courses are performance based. You proceed as you demonstrate mastery of the scuba skills taught in the course. Small group sizes in Koh Samui ensure that you get personal attention from our dive school's professionals.
Small group size allows you to work at a pace that is comfortable for you, relaxed and stress-free.  On the open water dives days, we use surface interval and boat journey time, from Koh Samui to the dive site and back, to review PADI Open Water course material and prepare for the open water dives.
