sunluvr Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Looking for suggestions/recommendations for where to go for Open Water Dive certification course here in Phuket. I took the course decades ago (in Canada) but never completed the open-water dives so never got the certification. I realize I'll have to do all the theory and pool training over again, but just looking for the easiest, most basic, economical way to get the certification. Doing the theory part via e-learning is fine with me if that helps, I see one outfit that offers that as an option.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CeltNYC Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 I really enjoyed my experience with Andy's scuba diving in Chalong. Andy and his crew are quite good. He's an Englishman and was a top notch instructor. Going to get my Padi with them soon and did some dives with this company two months back. Highly recommend!

stevehaigh Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 somewhat off topic but i learned to dive in Holland (Eindhoven), did my open water dives in a lake in Belgium in January. needless to say, Phuket is a bit nicer. although come to think of it, i did enjoy the unisex changing rooms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
