Description

We keep the class size very small, usually with just one instructor for your group of 2 or 3 people. Even solo travellor will benefit from it. Start off a mesmerizing journey into the underwater realm with our full-day private introduction course, departing conveniently from your Phuket hotel to the enchanting destination of Koh Racha Yai. Even non-swimmers can participate! No prior certification or experience is required – this is your gateway to an exciting diving adventure. Accompanied by a certified instructor, you'll receive comprehensive guidance and a thorough briefing to ensure a secure and enjoyable diving experience. Discover a diverse array of marine wonders, from the elusive "Nemo" clownfish to the swift tuna and the intriguing sea turtle. Your journey is complemented by all the essential equipment, a delectable breakfast, a buffet lunch, as well as refreshing beverages.
