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?

How Long Does The Similan Open Water Course Take?


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.

WHO Can Do The Open Water SCUBA Diver Training?

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.

Prices Begin at 7900 Baht !!!*

After lunch we will do a session in our swimming pool to slowly introduce you to the basics of diving!
Day 2 in Khao Lak – Again a morning session of academics and learning. An afternoon in the pool refining your skills.
Day 3 on the Similan Islands – NOW it’s time! We will do two dives at different sites. You will be guided through a few basic skills and the rest of the time swimming over the corals. That evening, sleep under the stars on the Andaman Sea.
Day 4 on the Similan Islands – another full day of diving at tehse incredible sites. The final skills of the Open Water course are completed and you will are certified! But that’s not all! With more dives – you have the opportunity to further polish your skills with your instructor!
Day 5 on the Similan Islands – EVEN More SCUBA diving! And you are certified so it’s all fun diving now! Of course your instructor is still there with you, so you can keep being mentored. Sometime during the day there will be an exam to double check on all that you learned.

Prerequisites for the Open Water Course on your Similan Liveaboard

Before the course begins we will need from you:
You must be prepared to have fun
A parent or guardian signature is required on the first day of class for students who are minors.
Signed Liability Release and Safe diving forms
You are ready to dive!

*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.
