Learn Recreational Diving and Advanced Diving Courses in Phuket

Phuket is one of the best place to explore great dive sites. What makes Phuket so attractive is the fact that is offers different sites suitable for different divers in all levels. So whether you’re an expert diver or a first-timer in exploring the deep blue, Phuket has interesting spots just for you.

Before you choose a diving course in Phuket, it is better to find tour operators or diving centers first. They can gauge what your diving level is and recommend a suitable course. You’ll want a dive center that is instructed by PADI Awarded Elite Instructors and preferably given a five star CDC. The best dive centers can cater to all types of divers, from beginners to professionals as well as budget to luxury travelers.

Kids as young as 8 years old can take a certification diving course. It will only take 1 day and will include 2 pool dives of 35- to 45-minute each in areas. Before you get into the sea, it is important to take a short class and listen to instructors discuss the basics of diving. Throughout the dive, you will be guided and supervised by PADI instructors.

If you want to take a certification PADI course, take a PADI open water diving course where you will get an in-depth understanding of diving. This 3 days course will also usually involve basic swimming pool training & instruction on the first day. For the following two days, you will be brought to beginner-appropriate diving sites in Phuket.


If you are interested in advanced diving courses, you must be a PADI Open water diver. You can expect more training dives on your first day and a combination of training and fun dives in the days after. Always check what is included in the diving course before you sign up. Aside from the necessary equipment, materials, certification, and guidance, it also helps if the course already includes insurance, transfers, and on-board food.
