Advanced course on our Similan liveaboards
The Advanced Open Water Program on our Similan SCUBA liveaboards are a very practical course in which you improve those diving skills you already have. Experience more by going down deeper – 30 meters, seeing whole new worlds at night, how to not get lost! We will give these and many other useful and fun tools for you to have. Doing this on the liveaboard is simply the most affordable way to do your Advanced course – less than 200 Dollars! With limited class time (if you can call a beach a classroom!) and no exam the Advanced course is a very nice way to better your skills. The minimum dives for the Advanced course is 5 – but on these trips you will have the opportunity to do at least 9 dives – at no additional cost. Experience on the Similan Islands, enjoy the delicious food and Dive the best sites In Thailand. Now is your opportunity!!
The Similan islands are world-famous for the incredible diversity of marine life. With fields of blue and yellow soft corals, forest of hard coral, hundreds of species of reef dwellers – Angelfish, Bannerfish, Lionfish, Puffers and more are all right here waiting for you. We also frequently see the “pelagic” or open ocean fish – Sharks, Tuna, Barracuda, and Snappers all swing by. Of course we must point out our real treasures – Manta Rays, Whale Sharks and Turtles. The Similan Islands are an incredible place to dive, so why miss this chance to learn more, go deeper, stay down longer and relax in the Andaman sea?

Similan Liveaboard Advanced Course
The Advanced course is a variety of five dives and brief academic sessions will allow you to explore exciting new skills like deep diving, night diving, and underwater navigation (remember we still do four more “fun dives” too!). The whole point of the course is to provide you with a structured, supervised way to get plenty more practical experience after the Open Water Certification. All of this in the tropical waters of Thailand. Our Similan Advanced Course is a great way to explore new interests, develop new skills and fine tune your diving technique
When the Advanced Course is done? What Then?
After the course is done you will be certified as an Advanced Diver – ready to continue your passion for diving. Of course we have more diving – local wrecks, Richelieu Rock and more! You can also choose to do one or more specialty courses, or even, if you dare, become a professional diver and stay here for months! The following specialty courses are offered by Wicked Diving:
Nitrox Specialty – Deep Diver Specialty
What’s included in the price?
The course price is in addition to our 3 Day Similan Liveaboard trips and includes: Use of dive equipment
All Courses are to the strictest training standards and we will cut no corners. Courses are done with SSI (Scuba Schools International), unless otherwise noted. The same course can be conducted as a PADI Advanced Open Water Diver course – but there will be a surcharge 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.
