     Richelieu Rock
40m - 1m depths, Avg temp - 28*
With plenty of macro-life like Ghost Pipefish and Harlequin Shrimps, and several WhaleShark visits each season, it's easy to see why Richelieu Rock is always voted "Best Divesite in Thailand".

Located 30 miles north of the Similans, Big Blue makes day trips to Richelieu 3 times a week.

  The Similan Islands
Just 60km west of Khao Lak, the Similan Islands are spectacular chain of nine granite islands, each with tropical jungle, brilliant white sandy beaches and surrounded by warm, crystal clear water which is teeming with colorful marine life and stunning corals. Calm, protected bays make it great for snorkeling too!

PADI DiveMaster

 

Do you want to have a career in diving? Then the PADI Dive Master course is your first step in becoming a professional diver.

This course is designed as a 5 to 6 weeks internship program. During this time, you will have a chance to work alongside our qualified team of Dive Masters and Instructors. You will learn from them how to organize dive trips, supervise divers in the water and even assist the Instructors when teaching their diving courses! Our experienced staff will help you develop your leadership abilities while working on your diving techniques and knowledge.

Your training includes 38 dives in the Similans, Koh Bon, Koh Tachai and Richelieu Rock, as well as some local shipwreck dives. You will get to enjoy 2 full trips on the MV Pawara, our luxurious liveaboard boat. At 35m in length, it is one of the biggest and most spacious boats in the Similans! You will also experience a couple of trips on local dive sites from a traditional Thai longtail boat, as well as the thrill of going to the Similans on our speedboat, one of the fastest boats around.

The time you will spend on land in Khao Lak will be busy practising diving skills in the swimming pool, attending some lectures and learning how to run a shop and organise the trips. By the time you finish your training, you will have a complete overview of how to work in a dive shop!

We only take 3 Dive Master Trainees at a time, to ensure you the most personalized service. We can tailor the course to fit your schedule and needs and we can help you to get set up with accommodation and transportation when you arrive.
