Overview

PADI Scuba Diver course may be just for you.Are you short on time and looking to become a certified diver?  This course requires less time than the PADI Open Water Diver course, covering only the first three of five knowledge development sections, the first three of five pool sessions and the first two of four open water training dives, resulting in a limited certification. Especially if you expect to dive primarily with a dive guide, or if you have limited time to devote to scuba certification, consider taking part in PADI Scuba Diver course.

This certification allows for a wealth of diving experience and is a good warm-up for the Open Water Diver course if that is your ultimate goal. PADI Scuba Divers are qualified to:

  • Dive under the direct supervision of a PADI Dive Master, Assistant Instructor or Instructor to a maximum depth of 12 meters / 40 feet
  • Get air refills, rent or buy scuba gear and participate in other scuba activities as long as they are supervised
  • Continue your diving training with PADI Open Water Diver certification and other courses such as Project AWARE and special equipment courses

          PADI e-learning

          PADI eLearning allows you to complete your studying in the comfort of your own home – or elsewhere! Read all chapters, take quick reviews and pass the final exam. All at your own comfortable pace before arrival to us.

          Day 1

          Starting time of the class varies due to our duties. We expect that you have finished your e-learning at home. Now it is time to meet your PADI scuba instructor with introduction of the PADI course schedule - he checks if you have passed the exam, have signed all digital forms and uploaded photo in the app. Then you move to equipment room to explain and try all parts of scuba gear. After about an hour in the office, you move to Elixir resort and continue with pool session for about an 2-3 hours to practice basic skills before your first dive. During the day instructor will get a chance to check your theory knowledge. Please ask the instructor anything that is not clear to you from PADI e-learning. Total time 3-4 hours.

          Day 2

          Meeting at the dive shop 30 minutes before our schedule departure. Our diving trips start at different time due tide tables. You can get this information in advance after we check your exact dates of class. Now it's time to dive in the open sea. The first two dives are a lot of practice and reviewing of your skills from the first day in the pool. Instructor will give deep briefing before the dive so everything runs smoothly. Don't worry, there will be enough time to explore marine life as well. Total time 5 hours.

          FAQs

          How do I get to your place? Is the transfer included in the price?

          Roundtrip transfer is not included in the price.

          • Elixir resort – Stop office - Loh Jark pier 400 THB
          • From all other resorts and areas – Stop office - Loh Jark pier 1,000 THB for 1-5 people, extra person 100 THB

          Price of the transfer is always roundtrip and is per car. We split the costs, if there are more guests from the same area. Please send us resort name and your room number to arrange the transfer and pick up.

          We recommend renting a scooter to come to our office (250-300 THB/day). There is very little traffic on Koh Yao Yai and scooter is also great way to explore the island.
