No. Every beginner program is built for people who have never dived. Discover Scuba Diving needs no experience or certification, and the 3-day RAID Open Water course takes you from zero to a certified diver.
If you've never dived, start with either Discover Scuba Diving, a one-day try dive from 2,500 THB, or the RAID Open Water course, a 3-day certification for 11,000 THB that lets you dive independently worldwide. Discover Scuba is the taster; Open Water is the real qualification.
The RAID Open Water certification takes 3 days, covering theory, confined-water skills, and four open-water dives around Koh Tao before you're certified to dive to 18 metres.
Children can try diving from age 10 on the Discover Scuba program and Junior Open Water course. The full RAID Open Water certification is available from age 15.
Trying diving for a day starts at 2,500 THB with Discover Scuba. A full RAID Open Water certification is 11,000 THB, including your training, equipment, and dives.
Koh Tao is reached by ferry. The most popular routes are a flight to Koh Samui or Surat Thani followed by a short ferry, or an overnight bus or train from Bangkok to Chumphon and then a ferry to the island.
