Following a couple of days of drizzle, the weather and diving conditions have brightened up here on Koh Tao 🙂
In the swimming pool this morning instructor Steve ran the shallow water (confined) skills section of the PADI Open Water Course.
The PADI course begins with an orientation and scuba diving theory before heading into shallow water to get familiar using a scuba unit. At Simple Life Divers we have two custom built training pools at different depths, ideal for taking your first breaths underwater.
We practice skills underwater to build confidence operating scuba gear and develop safe diving habits prior to heading out to the ocean. Skills you’ll master include:
Steve’s session went super smoothly this morning 🙂
So tomorrow we’re headed out to the ocean for open water dives 1 and 2 where we can explore the coral reefs to a maximum depth of 12M.
