Duration
PriceWant to learn to dive in Thailand? The PADI Open Water Course in Phuket, usually takes three full days for the course, with each day starting at around 07:00 and finishing up around 18:00. The first day will be at our Chalong training center doing theory and pool practical, the second and third days will be from a boat doing the ocean dives.
The second day of the course will be to Racha Yai and Racha Noi and if you choose the 5 or 6 dive package then the third day can be to the stunning Phi Phi Islands and Shark Point. With the 5- dive and 6-dive packages, the second days diving will head out to Phi Phi for a couple of dives and a final dive most likely at Shark Point.
These dives are a little more challenging which is why we do them on the second day, however, the coral and marine life is much better than the previous day. As a bonus, you get to see the stunning Phi Phi islands between dives. (4-dive packages will be to Racha Yai only)
The PADI Open Water Course in Phuket consists of three main phases:
