Go Dive

where can i get one of those go dive open water books in thailand?

I dont think PADI sell them with buying a pack now, unless you get a second hand one

You should be able to buy just the book and the tables bundled together at just about any dive shop.

That's right, either any dive shop/center or any PADI distributor in Thailand like Dive Supply, All 4 Diving, etc.

BTW the manuals are not any longer called 'Go Dive' but just 'Open Water diver' manual.

thanks all! would the be the best book to get if i was going to start on open water and then maybe later progress to advanced etc?

[limbos]

Each course as it own course specific manual, you're best off to start with the Open Water manual, once that course is completed, get yourself a copy of the Advanced Open Water diver manual.

Once you sign up for a course, a personal copy of the manuals should be included in the course.

My sugestion would be to just go take the course and you will be given the book. Don't worry about studying for the exam, it is very easy and all is comon sence. If I had my books over here with me I would just give them to you, I never read them and never will. I am a hands on learner anyway, for me the best way to learn something is just to go do it. I got my open water on Ko Phi Phi, two years ago, and my AOW on Ko Tao, both locations where amazing, Phi Phi was better but Tao was cheaper. Good luck.

Not very good advice! I would read them and read them again
