Learn to Dive at Phi Phi Island – Open Water Diver (3 Days)

Your training begins with confined water skill development in the beautiful pool at SAii Resort, followed by two unforgettable days diving from our spacious M/V SAii around the famous Phi Phi reefs.
SSI’s personalised teaching method ensures that every student feels relaxed, supported, and confident throughout the process. With online theory available in advance, you spend less time in the classroom and more time in the water.
By the end of the course, you will earn the world-recognised SSI Open Water Diver certification, allowing you to dive independently to a maximum depth of 18 metres.

It is very common now that most diving organizations offer the so called E-Learning. This means that the theory part can be completed online with SSI, and will minimize your time in the classroom allowing more time to concentrate on the practical part… diving!

All you need is a computer, tablet or smartphone and internet access. Full HD Videos, modern graphics, animations and great pictures make home studying much more fun, as you are the one who decides when to study which module.

Each step will be documented, and we will receive a notification of your progress. You are only going to spend a short time in our classroom, to discuss the course with your instructor, possibly answer some further questions and write a final exam.

Online training is free of charge (first 3 chapters), all you have to do is register with SSI:
