The PADI Open Water Diver course is the world's most popular scuba diving certification — and Pattaya is one of the best places in Asia to earn it. In just 3 days, you'll go from complete beginner to a fully certified diver, cleared to dive anywhere in the world to a depth of 18 metres. At Dream Team Divers, we keep our groups small so every student gets personal attention from a dedicated PADI instructor. Your training takes place in the warm, clear waters around Pattaya's coral reefs and iconic wrecks — not in a distant pool.


​What's included in your Open Water course:

• All PADI study materials and eLearning access
• Pool/confined water training sessions
• 4 open water dives in the sea
• Full scuba equipment rental
• Boat transfers to dive sites
• Drinks and snacks on board
• PADI certification card (valid for life, recognised worldwide)
• Small group training — maximum 4 students per instructor

How the course works:

Day 1 — Knowledge & pool skills
Complete your PADI eLearning online before you arrive, then spend the first session in confined water learning the fundamental skills — how to breathe underwater, clear your mask, and control your buoyancy. Our instructors make this fun and relaxed.

Day 2 — First open water dives Head out on the boat for your first two open water dives. You'll explore Pattaya's shallow coral reefs, practise your skills in real conditions, and start building your confidence underwater.

Day 3 — Certification dives Complete your final two open water dives and demonstrate your skills. By the end of the day you'll receive your PADI Open Water certification — a lifetime qualification that opens up diving destinations all over the world.
