*All Courses are to the strictest training standards and we will cut no corners. All Courses are SSI, unless otherwise noted. The same course can be conducted as a PADI Advanced Open Water course – but there will be a surcharge of 1500 Baht as PADI requires the purchase of the books and materials as part of the course – SSI does not. Otherwise there is no difference in standards or safety between the two systems.
