On both days, we come and collect you from your hotel lobby between 7.00-7.30 am and return you back between 17.00-18.00.

Your scuba diving instructor will meet you on the day trip boat, which you join at Chalong pier.
Depending on which day you start depends on the scuba diving locations you will visit – see below.

Breakfast is served whilst sailing to the first dive location and a buffet lunch is served after the first dive.
Five dives are required for the course so the first dive is just a fun dive – six dives over the two days.

The minimum age required for the advanced padi course is 15 years.

Course prerequisites:

Able to swim, Medically fit for diving, Comfortable in the water

During the first day of the PADI Open Water Diver course, your scuba instructor will ask you to:
Tread or float in water for 10 minutes and swim for 300 metres with mask, fins and snorkel on in the pool

Minimum age: 10 years

For ages 10 – 14, they will gain the Junior PADI Open Water Diver certification. Junior Open Water Divers automatically become Open Water Divers at age 15.

Scuba diving requires a minimum level of health and fitness. Anyone, regardless of age, with shortness of breath, blurred vision, or any form of chest pain may need to reconsider diving. Avoid disappointment, download and review the Diver Medical form to ensure you won’t need a physician’s approval to dive before enrolling in a scuba course.

While we may not be able to accommodate every requirement please let us know in advance and we’ll make every effort to ensure there is food available for you. In addition, we can help you store your own food on the trip if necessary.

I am afraid that we are unable to incorporate a night dive with the day trip boat schedule.

The next course is the PADI rescue diver and the EFR course. Click here for more information: Rescue Diver Course
