Embark on Scuba Diving Adventures at Koh Phi Phi through Our Platinum Open Water Course.
The Open Water Gold Course provides participants with not just one, but two certifications: the Open Water Diver certification and the Peak Performance Buoyancy Specialty Course certification. The latter, focusing on refining buoyancy skills, not only contributes credits toward the advanced course but also counts towards achieving the prestigious Master Scuba Diver certification. This advanced certification, attained after the rescue diver course, requires completion of five specialty courses, marking the pinnacle of non-professional diving achievements.
Course Requirements
You need to be a minimum of 10 years old and have adequate swimming skills. The course takes 4-5 days and this licence allows you to dive worldwide to 18 metres depth. Please read the medical questionnaire to ensure good physical health.
