PADI Open Water Diver in Kata, Karon Beach Phuket

The PADI Open Water Diver course is the most popular entry-level certification in recreational diving. It is conducted over three to four days, depending on the student's comfort level and ability.

The course consists of five modules of diving theory finished by a test; five modules of diving skills either in a swimming pool or in similar water conditions; and four dives in open water around Phuket. The course covers all basic aspects of diving from the equipment you will use to the effects of pressure under water, basic underwater navigation and how to plan dives using the PADI dive tables.

After you've finished the course you'll be certified to dive to 18 metres. For deeper dives you can continue with the Advanced Open Water course.

Between the ages of 10 and 14 you will complete the course to the same standards as adults to achieve Junior Open Water Diver certification. You can upgrade this when you reach 15 without any further study.

The emphasis of the course is on safety and enjoyment, and you will be taught by an experienced, professional PADI instructor. There will never be more than 4 students to one instructor so we can assure you of the highest levels of safety and close supervision at all times.

PADI E-Learning

You can complete the academic portion of the course on-line if you prefer so that you're ready to get straight into the water when you arrive in Thailand. Just log in to PADI's e-Learning site and follow the instructions. You can contact us at any time for assistance and your student records will be sent to us as soon as you've completed the modules. 

PADI Scuba Diver

If you don't have time to complete the Open Water Course during your trip to Phuket you can take the PADI Scuba Diver course. It gives you certification for diving to 12 metres accompanied by a certified assistant. The course consists of three modules of theory, three modules in confined water and two Open Water dives to a mximum of twelve meters. After the course you'll receive full certification for diving worldwide and can easily continue to complete the Open Water course at any time in the future without having to do the full course all over again.

Welcome to the world of diving!

DIVE CENTER NEWS (updated 3 September 2010)

Oceanic Dive Center Celebrates 10 years

We're proud to show off our certificate from PADI recognising Oceanic's ten years as a PADI 5* IDC Center in Phuket.

Welcome to our latest Divemaster Trainee

We'd like to extend a warm welcome Line H. R. Andersen, seen here about to enter the water during her PADI Rescue Diver course in August with her instructor Keith Douglas.

 

Line (pronounced Lena) comes from Denmark and plans to join the Danish Navy next year. In the meantime, she's embarking on her Divemaster course with us at Oceanic and intends to stay with us for the coming high season to become a PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor.

We wish you luck Line, and hope you feel at home in Phuket!

 

 

Day Trips for diving and snorkling around Phuket every day.

Just because the Similan Islands have closed for their annual rest period there's no reason to think you can't get some great dives in. Our local dive sites are getting better and better now: Shark Point, King Cruiser Wreck, Koh Dok Mai, Phi Phi, and Anemone Reef are all boasting fewer divers and therefore more fish. Our resident blacktip sharks are back at Bida Nai (near Koh Phi Phi) after their long winter holidays and some lucky divers saw a manta ray at Racha Yai at the end of August. To book your dive trip or for more information, contact us through info@oceanicdivecenter.com
