About this activity

Itinerary

Start your day at our dive shop, where you will try on your scuba equipment, complete a short registration form, and meet your instructor. After that, we head to the boat and cruise to the dive sites around Koh Chang. During the boat trip, your instructor will explain the basics of scuba diving, safety procedures, and what to expect underwater. Once at the first dive site, we begin in shallow water with a few easy skills to help you feel comfortable and relaxed before slowly starting the dive. You will complete 2 dives during the day, with a maximum depth of 12 meters. Your instructor stays very close to you at all times, guiding you slowly and safely throughout the experience. Even if you are not a strong swimmer, the activity is designed to be calm, easy, and beginner-friendly. Depending on weather and conditions, dives take place either at local coral reefs around Koh Chang or in Koh Rang National Marine Park. Please note that Koh Rang National Park has an additional diver entrance fee of 400 THB per person.
