scuba diving the Similans

Open Water Course

with

Pirate Divers

We strongly believe in Quality over Quantity.

We always teach in small groups and we never combine different diving courses together. The maximum of 2 Students to 1 Instructor provides good communication and more relaxed learning process that will make you a better and safer diver!

Before you start your Open Water Diver Course

Before the Open Water Course begins, you will receive original Open Water Manual. The manual has five chapters and we advise our students to read at least the first three before the course starts.

Reading the Open Water Manual is your first step in becoming a diver! It will give you a better understanding of what this course is all about! And being prepared for the course will make the whole experience more enjoyable and relaxed.

Day 1  – Classroom

Open water pool for Student

This pool is 5meters deep, great for practicing your buoyancy skills

After meeting your diving instructor, it is time to get some theoretical base that will enable all the fun later! You will watch five, 45 minutes long video lessons, which correspond to the five chapters of the Open Water Manual. A Quiz will follow after each video. Lunch or coffee break will take place after the third lesson. And after the pause and completion of remaining lessons and quizzes your Instructor will give live presentation of the diving theory and answer all the questions you might have.

Day 2  – Pool Session

It is time to put into practice all that you have read about and watched in the videos! Some students find this day “the hardest”, because at the beginning, all the information you have received and all the skills you have been practicing might seem a little bit overwhelming. But after a brief time and completing a few skills, students usually start to relax and become more comfortable in the water. They realize that it is not that hard and begin to have fun.

Day 3 – Dive 1 and 2

We are heading towards Similan Islands where you will finally discover how it feels like to dive in the open sea! Our Open Water Courses are always carried out in the Similan islands and we are excited to show you the best dive sites the Similans have to offer. On Dive 1 and 2 you will be practicing some of the skills you mastered in the pool session at maximum depth of 12 meters.

Day 4 – Dive 2 and 3

You will enjoy two more dives in the Similian Islands as much more relaxed and confident diver. It is time to demonstrate few more skills at maximum depth of 18 meters. After taking the final exam on the boat ride back to the pier you have completed your Open Water Course.
