Ko Bida Nok
5 hours Admission not included
The day before your Course, you'll meet your instructor to review e-learning chapters, to ensure you're fully prepared.
Next morning, we'll meet 30 mins before departure near Phi Phi Pier for a briefing on your new skills. We'll plan your dives using a computer and walk through compass navigation techniques.
Once onboard, you'll set up your equipment and complete pre-dive checks as we cruise past stunning scenery on a 30 min ride to the site.
Your first dive focuses on buoyancy, incorporating fun skill exercises and reef exploration to put your new techniques to the test.
After lunch onboard, we'll gear up for your Navigation Dive, where you'll practice underwater orientation before heading off to explore a second dive site.
Expect to encounter vibrant coral reefs, sharks, turtles, and large schools of fish, along with the chance to spot rare macro marine life!
After an incredible day underwater, we'll cruise back to shore to log our dives, wrapping up an unforgettable diving day.
Day 2 · Advanced Course Day 2

8 hours Admission not included
We begin the day just like yesterday at the pier, briefing the dives before we head out for our Deep Dive!
On your first dive, we will go to a maximum depth of 30 metres and compare colors, bring some depth related objects and have fun with our narcosis test.
After a nice lunch break, we will get back in the water for your elective dive. You can choose 'Fish ID', 'Underwater Filming', 'Shark Conservation', 'Dive against Debris' or 'Boat Diver'. We return to shore with time for a short break before our most exciting dive; Night Dive!
We depart to Monkey Beach, taking just 5 mins from the pier. Put your buoyancy, dive planning, navigation and new dive skills to the test as you explore the reef with a torch. Experience glow plankton halfway through your dive, an experience you'll never forget!
Surface in Tonsai Bay under the stars and return to shore by 8pm as an Advanced Diver!
