Important Questions
- What are the benefits of the Advanced Course (AOW)?
-The certification to 30m allows you to dive at around 95% of all dive sites around the world.
– Of course, this is also about your safety. You will learn to better control your buoyancy and explore dive sites on your own and become a more independent and aware diver.
– The Sattakut shipwreck, a World War II warship (49m long), is one of the must-see highlights on Koh Tao.
–The Night Dive in itself is worth extanding your holiday on Koh Tao by a few days. Looking back, 95% of all students say it was the coolest thing they’ve ever done.
- How many students are there in our groups?
– We take a maximum of 4 students per instructor. If there are more students, we take another divemaster or a second instructor.
–Safety is our top priority. With small group sizes, we can ensure that every student completes the course with maximum individual success.
- I’m not sure if I can equalize my ears at 30 metres …
– As you learned in the Open Water course, the deeper you dive, the less you need to equalize your ears. At a depth of 30 metres it’s much easier to equalize then diving in the shallows.
- What if I can’t finish the course?
– If during the course you want to stop the course for any reason, or if you realise that diving is just not for you, we are 100% willing to help and you only have to pay for what you’ve already done. We will also give you a Referral Form so you can finish your diving license anywhere in the world. But statistics show that 98% of our students successfully complete their courses. Our experience is your trust.
