Open Water 30 Programme in Koh Tao

The Open Water 30 is an exclusive programme developed by DPM Diving that combines the SSI Open Water Diver course with the SSI Deep Adventurer recognition in a single three-day package. Unlike a standard Open Water course (which certifies to 18 metres), this programme takes beginners directly to a 30-metre certification depth on completion. The programme includes six dives in total, all dive equipment, dive insurance, a DPM t-shirt, a DPM diving mask and snorkel, a reusable eco-friendly bottle, a certified SSI instructor and all certification fees.

Small groups of maximum four students per instructor are maintained throughout. No prior diving experience is required. The pricing structure: the regular package value is 23,200 THB; the current offer price is 17,900 THB (saving 5,300 THB).

The offer also includes 50% discount on fun dives at DPM centres in Phi Phi, Nusa Penida, Gili Trawangan and Gili Air, usable once per location. A standard SSI medical questionnaire must be completed before entering the water. The Deep Adventurer component involves a supervised dive to 30 metres, which may require medical clearance if pre-existing conditions are flagged on the form.
