Take Your Diving to New Depths in Phuket

Ready to elevate your scuba skills and explore new underwater frontiers? Our Advanced Open Water Certification program is designed for certified divers who want to go beyond the basics. With expert instructors, specialized training, and Phuket’s world-class dive sites, you’ll gain the confidence and skills to tackle more challenging dives and discover the ocean’s hidden treasures.

Why Advance Your Skills in Phuket?

Phuket’s diverse marine ecosystems offer the perfect playground for advanced divers. From deep wrecks to underwater caves, the Andaman Sea is full of surprises. As an advanced diver, you’ll have the opportunity to see even more of the ocean’s incredible wildlife. On average, divers in Phuket encounter dozens of species in a single dive—far more than you’d see on land. It’s a chance to deepen your connection with nature and experience the ocean in a whole new way.

Closer to Nature Than Ever Before

As an advanced diver, you’ll gain access to dive sites that are off-limits to beginners. These sites are often richer in marine life, offering the chance to see rare and fascinating species. Imagine diving alongside a school of barracuda, spotting a hidden octopus, or witnessing the eerie beauty of a sunken wreck. The ocean is full of wonders, and every dive brings you closer to nature in a way that’s both humbling and exhilarating.

What You’ll Learn

Our Advanced Open Water Certification program builds on your existing skills and introduces you to new diving techniques. Over 2-3 days, you’ll complete five adventure dives, including:

  • Deep Diving: Explore depths of up to 30 meters and discover the unique challenges and rewards of deep diving.
  • Underwater Navigation: Master the art of navigating underwater using natural landmarks and a compass.
  • Specialty Dives: Choose from options like wreck diving, night diving, or underwater photography to tailor your experience.

Develop your skills at amazing dive sites

Phuket is surrounded by little islands and reefs and Kiwidiver uses boats to all the top dive sites to see all the best that Thailand has to offer. From Wreck Diving to Drift Diving we know all the best adrenaline rushes. Depending on the season we may have the chance of reef sharks, leopard sharks, bamboo sharks & turtles along with all the regular marine life that we are so lucky to have in Thailand.

How long does it take?

Classes run for 2 days by necessity. We need to get in 5 dives for your advanced certification and the requirement is no more than 3 training dives per day. We can do a combination of boat and beach dives depending on your preference!

Theory

The Advanced Open Water course takes you directly to some of the best diving locations in Phuket to learn new skills. You will complete the knowledge sections at your own leisure before starting the course and will review those together with your instructor prior to every dive as part of the briefing. This advanced diving course will prepare you for some of the more challenging and exciting diving locations.

Adventure Dives

Some people love diving wrecks, others prefer colorful reefs. Some want to know all the fish names and some want to try diving at night time. On this diving course, you have 5 different adventure dives to complete. Two are compulsory: Deep dive and Navigation. The other three you get to select from a list of fifteen specialties. You can choose from topics such as underwater photography, wreck diving, drift diving, peak performance buoyancy, night dive, and much more.

Advanced Class Pricing

Our price includes everything. No Credit Card or PayPal fees. No extra fees to pay for books, no extra fees to pay for certification, no extra fees for high-quality equipment. We even provide a Kiwidivers T-shirt and a Kiwidivers Drybag for the boat (when stocks are available). 

Our prices are for SSI advanced certifications. We also teach PADI certifications but due to the cost of PADI fees, we must add 2000THB. In the global diving community, SSI and PADI teach the same skills at the same quality. In fact, the instructors are the same so it is not the agency that is important, it is the quality of the instructors. Kiwidivers have the highest standards! See our reviews!
