The Koh Tao PADI Advanced open water course will take you to the next level -the skills you will learn on this course will enable you to dive deeper, dive in limited visibility, navigate safely, identify all the different Thailand marine life species and dive longer with perfect buoyancy control.

During the Koh Tao PADI advanced course we'll make five more training dives.

This consists two core dives [deep dive and underwater navigation dives] plus three elective dives which you choose. Options include:

Day 1 [Advanced PADI open water course orientation and dives]

Meet your instructor and go through the PADI advanced manual, choose the three elective dives that you would like to do and set a schedule for the next couple of days, there is no exam for this course but you will have knowledge reviews to complete for each dive.

Two dives out on the boat at two different dive sites in the afternoon, departing at 12:30 and returning at about 4:30 pm, we will start with the Navigation dive using depth, contour and coral formations to navigate safely back to the boat. The second dive of the afternoon will be one of the elective dives.

The night dive if you choose to do it will take place on either the first or second day depending on our schedule. We will meet up at 6:00, Briefing with the group from the instructor and head out to white rock so we can get in the water just as the sun in going down. The dive will last anywhere from 35 minutes to 45 minutes and we will be back at the resort for around 8pm. Expect to see great barracuda hunting small reef fish, lots of crabs and nocturnal sting rays in the open.

Day 2 [Advanced PADI Course - 2 dives]

An afternoon at the famous Chumphon pinnacles starting with the deep dive where you descend to 30 meters, see the difference of narcosis and marine life. After a couple of tests on pressure related objects we will explore the site, get the chance to see the black tip reef sharks, and if you're really lucky, get to swim with the majestic whale shark. Finally make a safe, slow ascent back to the boat.

For the second dive we will either stay at Chumphon or head to another site to complete the final elective dive of your course.

Congratulations! you are now a certified PADI Advanced open water diver!!!
