Padi aware coral reef – 1 day
As a scuba diver, the health of aquatic ecosystems is often what makes a good dive. Become aware of the fragileness of coral reefs and how you can help preserve them.

Padi boat diver– 2 days and 4 dives

Padi deep diver– 2 days and 4 dives
After your first few scuba dives, you soon want to explore a bit deeper. There’s something exciting and mysterious about the depth that attracts dives.

Padi diver propulsion vehicles – 1 day and 2 dives

Padi enriched air diver – 1/2 days - may include 2 dives
The PADI Enriched Air Diver course is PADI’s most popular specialty scuba diving course, and it’s easy to see why. Scuba diving with enriched air nitrox gives you more no decompression dive time. This means more time underwater, especially on repetitive scuba dives.

Padi equipment specialist– 1 day
Whether it's a blown o-ring, regulator problem, wetsuit tear or a broken fin strap, you can learn how to manage basic scuba equipment adjustments.

Padi tecrec gas blender - 1 day
The Gas Blender course will train you as a qualified gas blender, allowing you to provide gas mixes to appropriately certified consumers.

Padi Multilevel diver – 2 days and 4 dives

Padi naturalist diver– 2 days and 4 dives

Padi night diver – 2 days and 4 dives
As the sun sets, you don your dive gear, slip on your scuba mask and bite down on your dive regulator. A deep breath and you step off the boat – into the underwater night.

Padi peak performance buoyancy – 1 day and 2 dives

Divers who’ve mastered the highest performance levels in buoyancy stand apart. You’ve seen them underwater. They glide effortlessly, use less air and ascend, descend or hover, almost as if by thought. They interact gently with aquatic life and affect their surroundings minimally. The PADI Peak Performance Buoyancy course refines the basic skills you learned as a PADI Open Water Diver and elevates them to the next level.

Padi search and recovery – 2 days and 4 dives
Have you ever dropped something in the water? Are you looking for lost “treasure”? The PADI Search and Recovery Diver Specialty course will teach you effective ways to find objects underwater and bring them to the surface. Small, large or just awkward, there is a way to bring them up.

How to get to the scuba camp

How to get to the scuba camp - Koh Samui - Thailand

Samui is an island located about 80 kilometres from Suratthani, the nearest mainland city. You can fly here with Bangkok Airways directly from Bangkok. They also have direct flights from Phuket, Krabi and Singapore.

Those on a budget can take the trains from any of the above cities for as little as a tenth of the cost of flying here. Many people book sleeping berths in the overnight trains from Bangkok. You will disembark at Suratthani station very early in the morning, from where you are taken by bus to the ferry for the 1 to 2 hour crossing to Samui from the mainland.

Buses are the least expensive option for those on a tight budget. They also travel to Suratthani from all major cities in the region.

If you have a car or motorcycle that you wish to bring to Samui, you can drive to the Donsak Ferry Terminal in Suratthani and put your vehicle on board.

Flights - Koh Samui - Thailand

FLIGHTS
The direct flight from Don Muang airport in Bangkok (or Singapore) to Samui is by far the most convenient way to come. Samui Airport is privately owned and operated by Bangkok Airways and the price of the ticket is high by comparison to other comparable destinations throughout the country, however the airport is a sight for sore eyes (and sore bodies). This delightful little facility has won International awards for its environmentally friendly design and bucolic charm.

Note: Upon your departure from Samui Airport, please bear in mind that you will be required to pay a 400 baht per person surcharge.

Flights - Koh Samui - Thailand

An economical option to consider is a flight from Bangkok to Suratthani with Thai Airways. The cost of the ticket is substantially less than the Bangkok Airways direct flight to Samui. However from Suratthani you will still have to take a bus from the airport to the ferry for the 1 hour 20 minute boat ride across. Because of the ferry and flight schedules, this itinerary is more practical leaving than coming here.

Berjaya Air also offers two flights per week on a Thursday and Sunday direct from Kuala Lumpur.

If you decide to fly to Samui then we will collect you from the airport and take you to your choosen hotel.

Infinity office location

The Infinity office is located next to Samui airport. We are located 200 meters from the old airport entrance. During the camp we will be utilising the facilities of Bluewater International School which is located 5 minutes from the airport and no more than 10 minutes from most hotels.
