     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 Open Water Diver
This is a 3 to 4 day course after which you will be a certified diver, able to dive to 18 meters with another certified diver anywhere in the world. The course is in 3 parts: Classroom based theory; ‘confined water’ session in a pool where you learn how to use the equipment and safety skills; then four ‘open water’ dives over two days where you practice what you have learned during real dives the reefs around the Similan Islands.
There is a video for each of the five chapters in the student manual which you will go through with your highly qualified Instructor. There is a study guide for each chapter so you can test yourself throughout your theory development. The theory concludes with a 50 question, multiple 'guess', Final Exam. But no worries - it's not too tricky, it’s designed for everyone. And you can get more than one chance. The system is very well designed so after all the lectures and videos you will find that you've acquired a lot of diving knowledge in a relatively short time.

Most of our courses are taught in English, but we also teach in German, Swedish, French, Spanish, Japanese, Thai and a few more. We also have teaching materials in all major languages.

There is a medical questionnaire that needs to be completed before you start the course. The most important ones are if you have, or have had asthma, epilepsy, a lung collapse/decease or diabetes.

Available to adults and children of 10 years or over.
