Open Water Dives

Now time for the best bit! Your first Open water dives will allow you to put everything you have learnt over the previous two days into practice.

On the afternoon of Day 3, you will complete Open Water training dives 1 & 2. With a maximum depth limit of 12 metres your instructor will guide you around the dive site as you become comfortable with your buoyancy, swimming underwater and the open water environment.

You will repeat a few of the skills you mastered the previous day in the swimming pool and of course, there will be time on both of your dives for an underwater tour, exploring the coral reefs and around Koh Tao.

On the final morning of the course, you will complete Open Water training dives 3 & 4, this time to a maximum depth of 18 metres. Expect to see lots of bright corals, colourful tropical fish, moray eels, stingrays and maybe even a hawksbill turtle.
