It usually requires four full days but when combined with our Similan Liveaboard we do 5 days and include at least 4 extra dives to hone your skills and increase your confidence. At Wicked we are not prepared to put anyone at risk by cutting corners to provide so called “cheap” diver training. We do it right.
Virtually anyone who is in good health, reasonably fit, and comfortable in the water can earn an Open Water Diver certification. During the course, your Instructor will ask you to demonstrate the ability to swim 200 meters. If you are between 12 and 14 or have a child between these ages, there is a Junior Open Water Diver program available.

*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 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.
