A One Day Diving Adventure

If you already a certified diver but have not dived for a while then this course gives you a great opportunity to refresh your diving knowledge and skills. During the course of one day take a quiz to assess your understanding, practice some skills prior to diving and then enjoy two dives at the exotic island of Racha Yai. This course is recommended for anyone who hasn't dived for a period of six months or longer.

The Course Itself

Your day out will consist of the following:-

• After enjoying breakfast on the way out to Racha Yai island take the PADI Scuba Review quiz and then check through your answers with your own personal instructor.

• Next your instructor will demonstrate how to set up the equipment whilst reminding you of the different parts of your scuba gear and how to use them.

• Time for the first dive. At the beginning of the dive your instructor will demonstrate the most important skills needed for diving and then get you to repeat them. Once the skills are complete it's time for the fun to really begin by going off to explore the reef.

• After lunch get back in the water for a second dive. Continue to explore the reef and see what you can find, all the time with your own private instructor by your side.

• Enjoy the journey home by reading a book, taking a nap or going through the reef guide with your instructor before being transported back safely to your hotel.

A Full Day Out

The dives for the course are carried out from a large day trip diving boat. The boat trip itself is a full day out on a large, modern and very comfortable vessel including sun deck and air-conditioned lounge. Transfers are provided both morning and evening between your hotel and the boat. On the journey out enjoy the beautiful scenery whilst having a light breakfast before your adventure truly begins. Lunch is also included with snacks on the way home on three dive days.

Racha Yai Island

Racha Yai island is a great place for beginner divers. There are lots of sheltered bays for easy diving, underwater visibility is generally very good, and an abundance of marine life to be seen. The coral reefs contain many underwater treasures including various types of corals, sponges and fishes. Colourful parrotfish, exotic lionfish, sea stars, sea cucumbers and much more can be encountered. If your luck is in you may even chance across a turtle or a shark. Whatever you see it will be sure to leave you with many superb memories and a desire to dive again as soon as you can.
