Are you thinking of doing the Advanced Open Water Course? If yes, then here is everything you need to know about learning scuba diving in Thailand.
🌊 What is Advanced Open Water?
PADI Advanced Open Water is the second scuba certification level. A highly trained PADI instructor will teach you different skills to help you enjoy the scuba diving experience.
In this course, you will complete 5 dives focused on different skills, and upon completion, you will be able to dive up to 30m depth.
Requirements for the Course
- Open Water Certified or equivalent certification
- Able to Swim
- Medically fit for diving
💰 How Much Does It Cost?
The cost depends on the country and the scuba diving center that you choose. Generally, this course can cost you anywhere between 20,000 - 25,000 INR.
🤿 What Does the Course Include?
The course is divided into two parts:
- Theory
The theory involves reading about the 5 dives that you would be taking. Out of all these, Deep Dive and Underwater Navigation Dives are mandatory. The remaining 3 elective dives you can choose as per your wish.
From night dive to wreck dive to peak performance buoyancy dive, you have a plethora of options available. After reading about the dives, you will need to complete the Knowledge Review section.
- Dives
Next is going on the dives to implement what you have learned so far in the theory.
In Deep Dive, you will be tested on a few skills like how quick you respond to tests both on land and in water. Plus, you will see the effect of depth on colors and their pressure on the objects.
In Underwater Navigation, you will learn how to map a route and determine where you are while diving. The use of corals and counting your kick cycle will help you with that.
In the three remaining dives, you will learn relevant skills to help you pursue them further if you wish to do so.
📍 Where Should You Do It From?
Depending on the budget, there are many different places where you can do these scuba diving courses.
Personally, I found Thailand to be one of the cheapest and best places to learn scuba diving, so I would recommend doing it from there, especially Koh Tao Island.
