Why do your open water course with us?

Real Divers are a British family run PADI 5 STAR IDC Dive Center which means we can teach beginner divers all the way to Instructor ratings. Our top Instructors have over 15 years teaching diving in Pattaya and are not just knowledgeable in diving but also around the town.

We are the only dive center in Pattaya that run their trips from our 12 metre speedboat “Reef Seeker” which means no early starts and no late finishes. We start our courses at 9.30am and finish at 2.30pm. It only takes us 15 minutes to get to the dive sites and you have about an hour on each one of the 4 open water dives.

We are also an Authentic TAT registered company (Tourism Authority of Thailand) which means we pass all safety regulations to take tourists diving, we also have a 100% safety record.
Every student on our Open water course gets a rental dive computer which enhances safety and is a mandatory piece of equipment for every open water student not just their Instructor. You will learn more about dive computers and timing devices on the course and why each diver must have one on the diver.

We will help you enjoy this course by making it fun as you learn about the under water world and the planning that goes into a dive as you become a Real Diver.

Knowledge development

We will send you the PADI e-Learning , you get to study online in your own time and at your own pace before the course start date.

I can send you for a free introduction sample of PADI elearning which explains how to use PADI elearning. Send me an email at realdiverspattayathailand@gmail.com and i can then send you this.

PADI e-Learning has video’s and diagrams and small quizzes to help you retain the knowledge. Most divers complete the knowledge between 8 to 10 hours so it’s best not to leave it to the last moment to sign up, the exam is also completed online.

Then when you turn up to the dive center there is only the pool and the ocean training to complete.

 

 Pool Training

The pool training teaches you the skills you will need for scuba diving such as breathing, finning action, buoyancy skills, mask, regulator skills and out of air drills.

When you have become proficient and mastered the skills you are now ready for the ocean.

The way it works in the pool is we will have a 200 metre swimming test to check that you are able to swim and a 10 minute tread water to show you can maintain yourself in the water.

Then it is time to set up your scuba gear and get in the water. Your PADI instructor will first demonstrate the skills for you and then have you complete the skill, you will be given as many attempts as you need to master the skills and most are pretty simple. 

Ocean Diving

Now it is time to do what you came here to do. Dive in the ocean.

The following 2 days are fun days out on our 12-metre speedboat at the Pattaya coral islands.

Now you get to use the knowledge and skills you have learnt and use them on the dives you will be planning. On the dives we will explore the reef which is full of colourful fish and marine life, you have a great chance of seeing large hawkbill turtles as the Pattaya reefs are renowned for them.

Your first 2 dives with the Instructor are to a maximum of 12 metres and dives 3 and 4 max depth 18 metres.

On the dives you have the chance of seeing angelfish, butterflyfish, pufferfish, stingrays, and large turtles these are seen on almost every dive.

The course has a total of four dives, two dives per sea day.
