Dive Courses on a Liveaboard
You can do your PADI dive course on a liveaboard in the Similan Islands. Please ask us for details.
Most Khao Lak dive liveaboards are geared towards certified divers and therefore SCUBA certification is not offered on the boat. Most divers joining these liveaboards have some experience. Liveaboard operators may allow you to complete your final qualifying dives from their liveaboard if you have done your theory and pool training with them prior to the trip.
PADI Advanced Open Water courses and PADI Speciality courses are usually available. Pre booking is necessary to ensure that a qualified PADI Instructor and necessary teaching materials are on the boat. Popular specialty courses are Enriched Air Nitrox and Digital Photography courses. These type of courses can be easily integrated into the scheduled dives on the trip without any disruption.
However there are a couple of liveaboards that teach PADI dive courses from intro courses right up to Rescue Diver.
