About this tour

A two-day PADI Advanced Open Water course at Koh Chang that builds your diving skills through five specialised training dives. You'll learn to descend deeper and refine your underwater control and buoyancy, moving past beginner level with hands-on instruction. The course includes hotel pickup on Koh Chang's west coast, meals, and all dive equipment and activities—a solid step up for divers ready to expand their range and confidence.

Highlights

  • Five specialised training dives over two days
  • Learn deeper diving techniques and advanced buoyancy control

What to expect

You'll start with hotel pickup on the morning of day one. The course runs through structured dives, each targeting a specific advanced skill—expect classroom or boat-based briefings before each water session, then guided practice underwater with your instructor watching your technique closely. Between dives you'll have time to rest, eat, and review what you've learned. By day two you'll move through further specialised dives, applying skills from day one. The course wraps up with a final debrief and your Advanced Open Water certification issued on completion.
