SSI OPEN WATER COURSE
Here at Koh Kood Divers, we give you many options in how you would like to complete your SSI course. After all, it is your vacation and we like to give you some flexibility.
The course consists of dive theory, confined water training and 4 dives on a boat in the open water.
SSI Open Water course you will do all of your dive theory under the supervision of one of our instructors. We strongly suggest that you do some of your reading and knowledge reviews before you arrive here in Koh Kood which will cut down the time that you need to spend in our classroom. We send a code what you can use to open the SSI open water book. Download the SSI app (iPhone or android) and you can do the theory reading before you head out on your vacation. Also it is a great way to pass the time on the plane ride to Thailand and give you more time for holiday.
THEORY
After the first dive you will enjoy lunch on the boat and take about an hour rest and then it will be off to another site around koh kood for your second dive. By this time you will already see how easy it is to scuba dive and will enjoy just having fun on your second dive.
Upon completion of the second dive the boat will return to bang bao koh kood you will arrive around 15:00

On your first day of the course you will start in the morning and your dive instructor will do a theory review with you. Finally, you will get acquainted with the equipment with the instructor and then off the the fun part of the course. At this point you will do your confined water training with one of our instructors in confined water. You can complete all of your confined water training in one day.
In your confined water dives you will learn all you need to know in how to use scuba equipment. Also you will learn how to handle yourself under water as well as being prepared for any situation in the open water. We prefer to take a little more time with you in confined water. This way you will be 100% comfortable when you go diving in the open water. Not only will you learn a lot, you will a have a lot of fun swimming around under water.
