About this tour
Step up your diving credentials with a two-day PADI Advanced course based in Phi Phi. This award-winning five-star dive centre keeps groups small so you'll spend more time exploring reefs rather than queuing. Your instructors—seasoned PADI professionals—prioritise safety and teach responsible diving practices. You'll complete the official PADI eLearning component online, then hit the water with dive computer in hand to spot turtles, sharks and healthy coral systems. The centre runs its own longtail boat, giving you better odds of finding quieter dive sites.

What to expect
You'll start with the PADI eLearning course (complete this before arriving or do it on day one). Classroom and confined-water sessions happen at the centre's pool overlooking the bay—ideal for building confidence. Once certified, you're diving Phi Phi's reef systems on day two, likely aboard their longtail boat. Expect calm instruction-focused dives in the morning, then deeper exploration of coral gardens and rocky outcrops. Your instructors will point out marine life whilst explaining how to interact responsibly with the ecosystem. Lunch is provided both days.
Good to know
National park fees (800 THB for two days) go directly to rangers and aren't included. You'll need moderate fitness; the course isn't suitable if you have spinal issues, poor heart health, asthma, or are pregnant. Bring reef-safe sunscreen and any medications. Book the eLearning component ahead to maximise water time.
