SSI Scuba Diver Course in Koh Phi Phi

The SSI Scuba Diver course at DPM Diving in Koh Phi Phi is a one-day programme that provides the first scuba certification, valid worldwide to a maximum depth of 12 metres. It covers approximately half of the Open Water Diver course content — the same theory modules and pool skills — and can be upgraded to full Open Water Diver at any time, anywhere in the world. The programme includes theory, confined-water skills and open-water dives to the 12-metre limit with a professional SSI instructor in attendance at all times.

A short multiple-choice exam at the end of the programme completes the certification. Unlike the Open Water Diver (which allows independent diving with a certified buddy), the Scuba Diver certification requires diving with a professional instructor or dive guide at all times — it is a supervised entry-level certification. The price of 8,500 THB includes all dive equipment, the SSI Scuba Diver international lifetime certification, a professional instructor, dive insurance and lunch.

A National Marine Park Fee of 600 THB applies (paid separately in cash). A standard SSI medical questionnaire is completed before water entry. Minimum age: 10 years.
