About this experience
The Padi open water course is "the course" for non divers to train and become a licensed diver. The training takes 3 days. On the first day we go over the theory and we train skills from the beach. The next days you're ready to go out by boat for your first dives: 4 dives in total spread over 2 days on the coral reefs around Koh Kood or Koh Rang.
