If scuba diving is not for you, or if you are already a diver, who wants to explore the underwater world comfortably without equipment, you should seriously consider the PADI Freediver Course! Freediving is about inward power, discipline and control. Freediving allows you to enter the underwater world quietly, on your own terms, staying as long as your breath allows. Taking the PADI Freediver course is your first step toward discovering why freediving is becoming a popular way to explore beneath the waves. During the course, you will learn about the priciples of freediving through theory sessions. In the swimming pool, you will learn breathhold techniques as well as static and apnea. The goal is to be able to hold your breath for 90 seconds in the pool, and swim 25 metres (horizontally). It sounds like much, but with the right technique, you might find that it comes rather easy to you. In the ocean, you will practice free immersion and constant weight freedives, plus proper buddy procedures. The goal is to have you freedive comfortable to a depth of 10 to 16 meters. Taking the PADI Freediver Course on Koh Tao, will provide you the perfect setting. The ocean is warm, the island is pretty, the vibe is fantastic and the dive center is highly professional. We guarantee you a good experience!

Out of all the diving offered on the East coast of Thailand, Koh Tao has the better of it. The island is famous for its laid back atmosphere on land. It is a cool paradise for those wanting to do their initial course or already certified divers continuing their education. It's not a lie, when said that Koh Tao is addictive. Backpackers usually end up staying for weeks. The reef has taken some damage from the tourism, but due to a massive effort to protect and rebuild the reefs, the corals and the fish life is doing really well. Koh Tao is now offering some really good diving for divers on all levels. Many dive sites are sheltered reefs with beautiful corals, good visibility, shallow depths and little to no current. Sites are reached in less than 20 minutes by boat. Deeper dive sites with pelagic marine life can be found a short 45 minute boat ride away. All year round lucky divers are encountering Whale sharks, Reef Sharks, Rays and Turtles.

Koh Tao in general is packed with different bays and beaches that are well worth visiting with your snorkeling gear. The island itself has a great size in terms of exploration, and it is easy to get around on a scooter. However, if you want a young and very vibrant vibe, Sairee beach is the place to be! The atmosphere is buzzing with hippie happy backpackers hanging out in the cafes, the beach bars and obviously on the beach itself… which is the longest and most popular beach on the island. (you will see why!)

The PADI Freediver course is the most popular freediving certificate worldwide. After completing this 2-3 day course you are certified to freedive to 16m independently with a buddy. The course consists of five modules of learning. You study via a self-study video and offline-app, completing a knowledge review and exam to solidify what you've learnt. The instructor reviews everything with you to ensure that you have fully understood everything. The practical learning consists of confined water sessions and 2 open water sessions. Session 1 is conducted at a depth of maximum 10m and session 2 is conducted at a maximum depth of 16m.

DIVE PACKAGE:
Package Itinerary - 3 days and 2 night
The PADI Freediver Course is performance based. That means you have to understand and pass the theory and perform the in-water skills correctly and with ease. Therefore, the itinerary can vary slightly from course to course. The course will take 2 to 3 days depending on the students enrolled. To give you an idea of what to expect, see the itinerary below.

Reiserute

Arrive with the ferry to be picked up by your driver, who will take you to the dive center. From here you will be checking in at your accommodation. Once you've settled and had a rest, you'll return to the dive center at 4pm to fill in all the necessary paperwork, watch the PADI Freediver videos and discuss the course schedule for the coming days with your instructor.

Meet in the morning for a breathing session and then underwater you go in our pool for the Static Apnea and Dynamic Apnea sessions. After lunch we'll head out to the ocean to start practising depth techniques on a shallow dive site.

Get ready for the morning boat and off we go to dive a little deeper. You have the rest of the afternoon off to revel in your accomplishment

4 dives

Both the dorm accommodation and the private bungalows are right next to the dive center, and in the middle of Sairee beach.
Walk out of your room, and within 15 seconds of walking (really slowly) you will be standing on the beach, next to the dive center.

The dorm rooms are just above the walking street of Sairee beach. You can look down at the dive center and the beach.
The bungalows are a little more drawn back, and provide a calmer and more private setting for your sleep.

The dorm rooms are fitted with 3 bunkbeds, a balcony and a private bathroom with hot water shower. The dorm rooms are fan only, (which is preferred by many divers), but for an extra fee (paid locally), you can upgrade the dorm to A/C. We try to keep boy and girl rooms seperate, but we can't guarantee that you will not be in a mixed dorm.

The private bungalows come standard with the option of both A/C and a fan. Private bathroom with a hot shower and a small porch.

The easiest way to get to Koh Tao from Bangkok, is to take either the bus or the train down South to connect with the Lomprayah High Speed Catamaran in Chumphon, for a 1,5 hour crossing to Koh Tao.
If travelling down to Koh Tao in the high seasons or around a full moon party it's always a good idea to book your bus ticket in advance!
Your travel agency can help you reserve and book your ticket.

Regardless of where you are in Thailand, your travel agency can get you to Koh Tao on the fastest and most convenient way.

To be picked up at the pier on Koh Tao, contact your dive center with your ferry information. You will find the contact details for the dive center, on your voucher.
