About this tour
Get underwater without certification on this seven-hour Thai dive experience. A PADI instructor walks you through the essentials before guiding you on two dives down to 12 metres at established sites. You'll handle real gear in real conditions—no pool work, no shortcuts. Lunch and snorkelling kit included, so you can ease into the day at your own pace.

- One-on-one instruction from full-time PADI instructor

What to expect
You'll start with a theory session covering basic safety and technique, then move into the water with your instructor close by. The first dive is shallow and confidence-building; the second takes you deeper to explore actual reef or site features. Expect calm, methodical pacing—this isn't a rush. You'll spend roughly four to five hours in or on the water, with breaks for lunch and rest between dives. The boat has proper facilities, and the crew handle most logistics so you focus on learning.
Good to know
You must be in good overall health—asthma, diabetes, heart conditions, high blood pressure, and recent surgery all rule you out. Pregnancy and spinal injuries are also contraindications. Pickups west and south of the island incur a 500-baht surcharge. Bring a light layer for the boat ride back.
