Koh Tao is the perfect place to start your Scuba Diving Carreer.
A tropical island with white beaches and tranquil turquoise water,
colourfull reefs teeming with tropical fish.
Koh Tao has all year round diving and due to its calm and easy
diving conditions attracts many people from around the globe to
come and take their first breaths under water.
Furthermore the island has kept it's "tropical island" feeling with all amenities like ATM's, banks and health care.
Koh Tao has plenty of good restaurants and lots of places to party or relax at night to unwind from your exciting diving day...
Two training agencies!
In our academy we are able to offer you training with SSI and PADI from beginner to Instructor.
PADI is the biggest Training Agency but unfortunately also the more expensive, but there is no need to spend more money than you have to, after all there is no such thing as a PADI or SSI Diver.
You are a DIVER, trained through an organization and believe it or not there are more than 20 different agencies with worldwide recognition.
Dive training programs (from OW to Instructor) are all similar as the Industry has organized itself through the World Recreational Scuba Training Council, with virtually no difference in course content and recognition.
Here you can find more information on international cross agency acceptance.
Not certified yet ??? No problem, check out our from ZERO to SCUBA HERO program.
Job Placement
As Managing Director of Scuba Junction (Thailand's first SSI Platinum Training Facility) it is "K's" philosophy to hire first instructors trained by him for his dive center.
As SSI is rapidly growing in SE Asia, SSI qualified instructors have no difficulties to find work and keeping the edge over the competition.
To help SSI Dealers and Instructors, SSI offers a job placement service on its website www.ssithailand.com and promotes actively the dream of living and working in Australia with its excellent contacts with SSI Australia.
PADI is still worldwide the market leader but is losing ground to SSI as more and more dive centers want to offer alternatives to their customers.
Dual rated instructors are highly sought after and we offer you both as two is better than one...
With us you will not be left out in the cold...
What started as a hobby and a passion, became my job... I was so fascinated by Cousteau's wonderful adventures in my youth, gazing with open mouth at all that under water splendor and mystery
