Open Water Diver

Leverage your existing PADI Open Water Diver knowledge and confined water training to complete your certification dives in the clear tropical waters of Thailand with Sawasdee Divers. This PADI Open Water Referral Course is specifically designed for students who have already completed the theory and pool sessions at another dive center. You will focus on mastering essential open water skills and completing the required four dives under the guidance of a PADI professional. This efficient program allows you to gain your PADI Open Water Diver certification, enabling you to explore depths of up to 18 meters, in just one to two days.

Sawasdee Divers operates from Ao Nang, a popular gateway to Thailand's stunning Andaman Sea dive sites. While specific dive site details are arranged based on your prior training, the referral dives typically take place in areas known for their vibrant marine life and excellent conditions for new divers. The PADI Open Water Diver certification you will earn is recognized globally and serves as the foundation for further underwater exploration and advanced training.

Your certification course at Sawasdee Divers includes instruction from a qualified PADI Instructor, comprehensive insurance coverage, full equipment rental, and lunch with drinking water during your dive days. They also provide convenient free hotel pick-up services within the Ao Nang area, simplifying your logistics. To ensure a smooth transition, it is recommended to contact the center directly with details of your completed theory and pool work, allowing them to tailor the referral program precisely to your needs.

Upon successful completion of your referral dives, you will be certified as a PADI Open Water Diver, qualified to dive with a buddy to a maximum depth of 18 meters (12 meters for junior divers). This certification is your ticket to discovering the underwater world on a global scale. It also acts as the essential prerequisite for continuing your education with the PADI Advanced Open Water Diver course, opening doors to deeper dives and more specialized diving activities.
