LIA
offers a full range of scuba diving courses to
learn from
the beginner Open Water to the professional dive
master
This one-day dive experience designed for those who want to try scuba diving prior to taking a dive course. Perhaps even for those who don't have the time to take a course but still wish to experience the underwater world, the beautiful corals, fish and islands here in Thailand. The course is conducted over one full day. The first dive starts in shallow ocean water where you will learn some basic skills to enhance your enjoyment before going on a supervised dive with a PADI instructor. After lunch you'll go off for another pleasure dive, no skills to learn this time, and get to share the sea with such creatures as turtles, eels, nocturnal harmless sharks and thousands of fish. The maximum depth for this each dive is 12 metres. With advance notice, we can take you to a swimming pool on the day prior to your dives and learn the skills and therefore make for a more relaxing day for your ocean dives.

The Scuba Diver course is designed for those who do not have four days to spare for an Open Water Diver course, but who still wish to get certified. Upon completion of this course you can dive to 12 metres under the supervision of a PADI professional. The course is conducted over two days, and includes some classroom and swimming pool instruction prior to your two dives in open water. All dives are done under direct supervision of a PADI instructor.
** PADI Open Water Diver course ** "The way that the world learns to dive!"
The first 2 days are split between the classroom and the swimming pool where you will do 5 dives learning all of the skills that will enable you, on completion of the course, to be able to dive with a buddy but not necessarily under the supervision of a PADI professional. The second 2 days are spent on our boat doing a total of four dives with your maximum depth being 18 meters. PADI Open Water Course - detailed - like you will not find it any where on the web.

** PADI Advanced Open Water Diver course ** Now we're getting serious! I know people who are "Open Water Divers" with in excess of 200 dives under their belts and they are happy staying at that level. However the A-O-W course opens up new avenues and allows to dive more dive sites globally. The advanced diver course consists of 5 dives - 2 Core (Deep Dive & Navigation Dive) and 3 elective dives where you get the chance to choose from a whole host of specialty dives from night dives to drift dives and ship wreck dives to underwater photography dives. The main advantage to the Advanced diver course is that it gives you 5 more dives with an instructor to hone underwater abilities and also gives you experience of diving at depth. You will do a deep dive to 30 metres affording you more confidence for future trips. It is heard of sometimes that if a dive site is deeper than 20 meters then unless you hold the Advanced Open Water international license the tour operator will not allow you to perform the dive. So already you can see that it'll open up many more opportunities for exciting new dives in the future. PADI Advanced Open Water Course - detailed - like you won't find it any where on the web
** PADI EFR (Emergency First Response) course ** Here's a handy course. Not only applicable to diving
situations. Anyone can take this course - diver or not. The EFR
** PADI Rescue Diver course ** Now we'll get you working! This is when the blinkers come off. Generally you'll find that a diver will take care of him or herself and their buddy before, during and after a dive. The Rescue Diver Course puts you in the mindset to take on board everything that is going on around you, to prevent problems as well as to deal with them in the unlikely event that they should arise. The course teaches you 10 skills of self rescue and rescue of another diver. After the 10 skills have been mastered over a period then there are two realistic scenarios in which you will have to take charge of the rescue. Preparation is the key to the course. Anything can happen at any time! One minute you're eating lunch the next your searching for a missing diver (divemaster assistance). Once found egression to the surface with the diver is next. It doesn't end at the surface. You'll need to get back to the boat while removing equipment (for boat access) and issuing rescue breaths. When you have the diver on the boat it's your responsibility to continue with CPR (if needed), secondary assessment and control the whole scene. BELIEVE ME - this is a FUN course. You'll learn a lot. Most divers that have achieved this level or higher will tell you that the PADI Rescue Diver Course was the most enjoyable and rewarding of them all - apart from the first underwater experience that is!
