Small-Group Dive Course
We cap classes at four students maximum. That means more time to practise skills, ask questions, and laugh when you finally nail neutral buoyancy without face-planting the sand.
Experienced PADI Instructors
Every instructor here logs hundreds of dives and keeps current with the latest safety in diving standards. They’ll guide you through each skill until it feels as natural as breathing topside.
All-Inclusive, Transparent Pricing
Your course fee covers PADI E-Learning, gear, boat trips including food and drinks, marine-park permits, and certification processing. No mystery “fuel surcharge” sneaking onto your bill.
Course Breakdown (4 Days)
Day 1 – Dive Theory + confined Water
Morning (Meeting at 9:00 AM):
We’ll begin with a brief review of the theory, followed by a relaxed Q&A session to make sure everything is clear. Then we’ll fit your equipment and get you ready for your first underwater experience.
You’ll learn essential scuba skills like mask clearing, regulator recovery, and buoyancy basics, with close support from your instructor.
Day 2 – Open Water Dives 1 & 2
Boat trip to one of our prime dive sites for your first 2 Open Water dives. Practise navigation and controlled descents down to 12 m. Enjoy the amazing marine life.
Day 3 – Confined Water
Today you’ll complete your last two confined‑water sessions in the pool, fine‑tuning your scuba skills and ensuring you’re fully prepared for your open water dives tomorrow. By the end of the day, you’ll feel calm, capable, and excited for your final open‑water dives!
Day 4 – Open Water Dives 3 & 4
Today is the culmination of your journey—your final two dives on a day boat trip to one of our stunning dive sites.

FAQ—PADI Certification Course Edition
I can’t swim well—deal-breaker?
You need basic comfort in water. A 200 m swim doesn’t have to be fast, just steady.
Will I see big fish?
It’s the ocean, no guarantees—but Sail Rock loves dishing out whale-shark surprises.
English not my first language—okay?
We teach in English, Thai, French, and German. Let us know your preference. PADI’s online learning platform offers courses in a wide range of languages, making it easy to learn in your native tongue.
