Manuals and Fees for Dive Courses

Manuals and fees for the dive courses can all be seen below. Please note that if you are taking an individual dive course such as the PADI Open Water or the PADI rescue diver course then the materials will need to be purchased separately. The PADI course materials are essential for each of the dive training courses as they hold vital information that can be referred to at a  later date and also there are knowledge reviews that are required to be completed for each scuba course. 

Note: It is breaking PADI standards to have the manuals loaned to you for any of the dive courses - this might save you a couple of $$$ but do you really feel confident training with a dive center that cannot even commit to the PADI regulations?

If you are taking a "scuba dive training internship" such as the Divemaster internship or the OWSI Dive Instructor intern program then ALL of the relevant diver manuals, materials and FEES are ALL included within the cost of the dive program. The dive interships are all-inclusive of all special courses such as the DAN O2, EFRI, FFM, and 5 PADI Specialty Diver Courses also.

The costs below will be in either Thai baht or $US - please use www.xe.com as a good exchange rate tool to convert in to your preferred currency.
