Koh Tao PADI Open Water course: Matt, Vicki, Alex and John

Well done to Matt, Vicki, Alex and John on completing their Padi Open Water course here at Simple Life Divers, Koh Tao.

The guy’s arrived at Simple Life Diver’s through the recommendation of other travelers. Arriving on Koh Tao on one of the morning ferries, the team were ready to start their PADI Open Water course that same afternoon. The first day was a nice and relaxing session starting with an orientation and watching the PADI Open Water videos.

The next morning off the team were rested and ready to start the confined water skills session in the afternoon. With our equipment prepared and buddy checks completed we headed to beach. The guys were excellent in the water and breezed through all the skills, more than ready for their first two open water dives of the course.

The third day we finished the rest of the videos and quizzes, then made our way out to our newly painted and serviced dive boat. We headed out to the always excellent Twins and White Rock dive sites off Koh Tao’s western coast. The guys really enjoyed themselves and could not wait for the next days trip to the spectacular Chumphon Pinnacles dive site.

For the final two dives of the PADI Open Water course they weren’t disappointed. There were sharks aplenty and many other fish around the dive site and the group got to enjoy some fantastic diving.

Thanks again guys for making it a fun course, and remember, ‘keep it Simple’!
