Things you should know about doing your PADI Open Water Course in Phuket
Getting your PADI Open Water license in Phuket with the right dive center will provide both a great holiday experience and a lifetime certification that’s recognized world-wide. But before you sign up for your course, here are some things that you should know:
We take time with you during your pool training, so that you are well prepared to go diving in the sea. Remember that you’ll be learning to dive independently of an instructor and you should find diving with your buddy is easy.
While getting your PADI license, we also make sure there’s plenty of time to see lots of fish, corals and other marine creatures during your training dives. You’ll love doing your diving course in Phuket with Patong Dive Center!
Usually, going diving for fun costs less when you are certified and being able to dive to 18m means more dive options. And you really should enjoy getting your license, so why not sign up for some more dives & PADI courses to extend your limits.
And please be kind to the reefs! Enjoy your diving but please also take care to protect the environment. Only use reef friendly sunscreen, don’t throw rubbish into the sea and please don’t feed or touch marine life.
