Note:

Thailand is famous for a few things, one of them is that dive shops don't have to operate up to the same standards that they do in places like north America and Europe.

That is NOT the case with us;

We use only Instructors that are fully qualified, and have extensive experience teaching.

Equipment is top of the line, and in 100% shape.

we don't use instructors that have little or no experience, unlike most places here.

Or equipment that is leaking or with problems like faulty guages Etc.

Don't you and your friends - Loved ones deserve higher levels of safety and quality?

 

Discover Scuba Diving

 

Have you always dreamed trying what you have seen so often on the tv, or the movies?

From some of the first shots of Capt. Nemo in the movie "20,000 leagues under the sea",

to Movies like "the Abyss" .

Watching others do what you would like to at least try ...

 

Then this is the course for you!

This easy course was designed to put you straight in to the equipment and underwater with a minimum of effort and studying.

You have the choice of starting out in a pool, or if your confident enough, and conditions permit, you can start out in the ocean.

The day starts out with you learning the basics of the relationships between depth and pressure, in a very easy relaxed way.

Next, you will examine all the equipment necessary, and go over it with your instructor.

Once you have a basic understanding of the set-up and exactly what you and your instructor will be doing when you go underwater, you can relax and have a nice light breakfast on the way to the dive site.

Once you arrive, you will do two dives, on the first one you will watch and repeat a few basic scuba skills, on the second one you will dive under the supervision of a certified instructor.

 

PADI SCUBA Diver

 

This is the same basic course as Open Water Diver, Just shortened.

This certifications carries it's own unique limitations,

for instance you will be able to dive to a maximum of 12 meters

and you must always plan and dive with a PADI certified Instructor or Divemaster.

However for those with less time, this is the perfect beginning.

over the course of two days you will complete chapters 1,2,&3 in the PADI Open Water Diver manual

As well as confined water dives 1,2,&3, including the 10 Min. survival float/Tread.

Completing the course with two Open Water dives.

This course can be completed in a minimum of 2 days ( 3 days recomended )

SCUBA Equipment Technician course:

Upon successful completion of this course you will be able to do the annual service required for regulators.

Many people are Tired of the shoddy service that they receive locally, two of our students during the last SCUBA Equipment Technician course were very angry at the quality of work that was performed when their regulators were annually serviced.

Not only had the work been very expensive, but also they had been charged for the installation of parts that were not actually used.

Instead of replacing the LP seats in the second stages, they had just flipped them over.

Admittedly, this is a very common practice, and many shops do this to their own rental equipment to lessen the cost of parts.

However as they had actually paid for the new annual service kits, they should have been installed.

Don’t let yourself be cheated.

The skills that you acquire on this course will allow you to do the work yourself, or at the very least, be able to spot this type of garbage, and know what to do about it.

 

 

Update:

  

Just finished teaching an advanced open water course and the young woman had purchased all of her equipment brand new. 

Like all people that really love this sport, she was trying to do what her instructor suggested.

  

The problem however was that she had went to typical dive equipment suplier here in Phuket.

 This place is a satellite shop of the actual importer of this brand of Equipment, so you would think they would be Competent.

Dive #1 - Problem: Discovered that on the fin straps there is a small switch, its kind of a cheapo deal anyway, just a little red slider, but on two of the buckles they had popped out. 

The sales person had suggested these fins to her and she was assured that they were top quality.

 They replaced the straps when she went in to ask about it.

   

Dive #3, 4, 5. Upon hooking up her brand new regulator, she pressurised it, and it started leaking after about 20 seconds.

 She was so happy to have all this new equipment, and now it seems that the bulk of it wasn’t even in a dive able state.

Stopping in at the shop after the diving was over for the day, we checked the intermediate pressure on the first stage, it was not stopping at 9 Bar, like it should have, it would rocket up till the Second stage would let it leak out.

It must have been in stock for more than a year, and here where no one honours their warranties anyway in regards to servicing, they gave it to her.

  

This is "life support" Equipment Don’t take chances, get your Equipment from a trustworthy source!
