Why become an Open Water Diver?
The most popular dive program in the world allows you to dive with a buddy, independent of a professional. Your license is internationally recognized, so you will be able to happily dive around the world, to a maximum depth of 18m. The fun really begins already during the confined water dives, in a body of water with pool-like conditions, under your instructor's guidance and supervision and where you will be immediately surrounded by tropical fish..

Why do I need to start?
Virtually a good health, or a medical clearance from your doctor and be reasonable fit. Minimum age: 10 years for Junior Open Water

How long will it take?
All the diving courses are 'preformance' and not 'time' based. But you could complete your course in no more than 2 to 3 days

What will I do? Throughout the course, you'll learn the fundamentals of scuba diving, including dive equipment and thechniques. You earn this rating by completing confined and knowledge development sessions and by making four awesome open water dives!

'If' you come out after the last dive, you will be a certified Open Water diver.
We say 'if' as many of you will simply refuse to stop diving and just keep on going will we are waiting and waiting.. Once back in the dive center, you will log your dives in divers-logbook which Impian Divers offers you free of charges during this Open Water course. Your instructor will officially certify you as a new member in the Order of Certified Divers, sealed with a cold drink..or two

The course fee includes all materials, all instruction, all equipment rental (safety balloon/whistle) and all necessary paperwork and processing.

Why Advanced Open Water Diver?
After your 5 dives, you'll be more experienced, feel more comfortable in the water and simply enjoy diving more because you better understand the underwater environment.

Why do I need to start?
An 'entry' level certification from any dive organisation. Minimum age: 15 years (12 years for Junior Advanced Open Water)

What will I do?
This certification includes 5 Adventure Dives, including the Deep Adventure Dive, the Underwater Navigator Adventure Dive and 3 of the following:

• AWARE FISH ID -- Saw that? A non-identified fish? Cool, now give it your name!

• NATURALIST -- no no, not naked…well, not unless you want to…!
• NIGHT DIVER -- dive with the feeling being on the moon or beyond
• PEAK PERFORMANCE BUOYANCY -- let your lungs make the difference

• U/W PHOTOGRAPHER -- really, the only way to bring something back home !
• UNDERWATER VIDEO GRAPHIC -- beat Cousteau , make your own 'Blue Planet'

ADVENTURE DIVER
If the Advanced course is one step too much, perhaps this could be an option. The Adventure diver program allows you to mix and match any dives you like. If you complete any three adventure dives, you can earn your Adventure Diver certification. Maybe you like Photography, or you want to experience a bit of Nitrogen Narcosis on your first Deep dive, the choice is all yours. As this course could only take as little as 1 day, time really can't be any excuse!

'Your Adventure Dives can also credit towards the corresponding Specialty Diver certifications'. The course fee includes all materials, all instruction, all equipment rental (safety balloon/whistle), and all necessary paperwork and processing.

Emergency First Response (EFR) is the fastest growing international Primary Care (CPR) course. The course encompasses CPR skills, and First Aid training. Many divers take the Emergency First Response courses to meet program pre-requisistes, such as PADI Rescue Divers, or as preparation to become a PADI Divemaster. However, most have also found the EFR program to be important in every day life. They have taken a significant step in emergency prepareness, and make one feel confident to use their skills.

Depending on the amount of independent study and the class size, the Primary Care and Secondary Care may be completed in as little as four to six hours.

After independent study you will be prepared for a classroom and hands-on skill development and realistic scenario practice with your instructor. You will learn the same patient care techniques used by medical professionals, but at a personal level.

This is an international recognised first aid course which needs to be refreshed every 2 years.

Emergency First Response - 3,500 Baht , PADI O2 Provider Course - 3,500 Baht
