The Deep Adventure at DPM Diving in Koh Tao is a single guided dive to 30 metres conducted under SSI instructor supervision. It is part of the SSI Advanced Adventurer programme but can be taken independently, making it suitable for Open Water-certified divers who want to experience greater depth without committing to the full Advanced course. The dive takes place at one of Koh Tao's deeper sites, typically Chumphon Pinnacle or Southwest Pinnacle.
At 30 metres, divers experience compression of colours, increased gas consumption and reduced no-decompression limits — all managed by the instructor. On completion, you receive an SSI Deep Diver recognition card, a valid specialty credential registered in the SSI system. Because DPM does not run single dives, the Deep Adventure is paired with a second immersion at an additional cost of 1,000 THB.
The base price of 2,900 THB covers the Deep Adventure dive, the SSI recognition card, a professional SSI instructor and all dive equipment. Prerequisites: a valid Open Water Diver certification. A standard SSI medical questionnaire must be completed before entering the water.
Participants with pre-existing cardiac or respiratory conditions should seek medical clearance before diving deeper than 18 metres.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I do the Deep Adventure dive if I only have an Open Water certification?
Yes. The Deep Adventure is open to Open Water-certified divers (minimum 18m certification). You will dive to 30 metres under direct SSI instructor supervision throughout the entire dive. This adventure counts towards the Advanced Adventurer certification if you later complete the full course.
