Recreational Open Water SCUBA Course
Begin Your Scuba Journey in Phuket’s Pristine Waters
Have you ever dreamed of exploring the ocean’s depths? At Kiwidivers, we make that dream a reality.

With expert instructors, personalized learning, and Phuket’s stunning dive sites, you’ll be certified and ready to explore the underwater world in no time.
Why Learn to Dive in Phuket?
Phuket’s warm, clear waters are the perfect place to learn scuba diving. The Andaman Sea is home to an incredible diversity of marine life, from colorful coral reefs to playful sea turtles. As a diver, you’ll have the unique opportunity to see dozens of species in a single dive—far more than you’d encounter on land. It’s a chance to connect with nature in a way that’s both thrilling and transformative.
Scuba diving offers a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the natural world. Unlike land-based wildlife tours, where sightings can be rare and fleeting, the ocean is alive with activity. On average, divers in Phuket encounter dozens of species in a single dive—from tiny clownfish hiding in anemones to graceful manta rays gliding through the water. It’s an experience that brings you closer to nature and leaves you with a profound appreciation for the ocean’s beauty and fragility.
At Kiwidivers, safety is our top priority. Our instructors have thousands of dives and years of experience, and we’re proud of our 5-star reputation on Google and TripAdvisor. We provide all the necessary equipment and personalized attention to ensure your learning experience is both safe and enjoyable. Plus, we offer instruction in multiple languages, so you can learn in the language you’re most comfortable with.
