Phoenix Divers - Scuba Diving Koh Tao

The island of Koh Tao is home to some of the best scuba diving in the Gulf
of Thailand. With over 25 beautiful dive sites to explore, what more
can you ask for when it is all right on your doorstep. No
matter what your certification level is, there are dive sites to suit
you. Whether you are looking to explore the shallower coral reefs, swim
through some of the breath taking archways or travel to the deeper
depths of some of the pinnacles, Koh Tao has it all. No matter which
site you dive, you will always be surrounded by an abundance of marine
life.

 

At Phoenix Divers, our Fun Divers are just as important
to us as our Students. In fact most students that certify with us stay
on to become our Fun Divers, and keep coming back. With equipment that
is kept to a very high standard and small groups usually kept to 3
buddy groups per Dive Master, your dives with Phoenix Divers are the
sort that will leave lasting good memories.

 

 

 

So how does it all
work? Well firstly, we endeavor to be one of a few dive boats at dive
site at one time. This means being flexible with our departure times.
The dive boat goes out for 2 dives in the morning and then is out again
for 2 dives in the afternoon. The morning dives leave at either 7am or
10am to avoid being on a congested dive site and the afternoon dives
leave at 1pm. Night Dives are typically available throughout the year,
but we do have to cancel occasionally if the weather conditions are not
safe.

 

 

We also offer the chance of Full Day trips to Sail Rock, near to
Koh Phangan. This is a very popular trip as it gives you the chance to
leave late, have 3 dives and lunch all on the boat before returning in
the mid afternoon. Sail Rock is not a site we are able to dive
everyday, but we can usually arrange a trip out there
on request. Remember if it’s been a while since you last dived
(usually over 6 months – experience depending) we will need you do a
Scuba Refreshment to make sure you are comfortable and ready for the
first time you get back in the water. To learn more just read the
section below.

 

 

 

If you haven’t been diving for some time, you will need to refresh your basic knowledge and skills. Spending one afternoon, we can get you back to a safe and comfortable level where your fun diving is really just that … FUN! The
Scuba Review consists of a theory refresher, skills work (to make sure
you are still familiar with all the equipment and how it all works) and
then two fun dives to ensure that your buoyancy control and awareness
are at a good level. When you go out for your first fun dives after the Scuba Review, you will really feel the benefit. All Fun Dives are led by a Dive Master to give you the chance to see as greater a diversity of marine life as possible. All
groups are kept small to ensure that you get the most out of your
dives. We also vary our departure time, so as to avoid crowded dive
sites.

Scuba Review requirements for certified divers

 It is a SSI and PADI standard that any diver who has been inactive for 6 months or more is required to complete a Scuba Review. An additional 500 Baht will be charged on top of any fun dive package for the Scuba Review.
 
 If you have forgotten your C-card and/or your logbook, you will be required to complete a Scuba Review. Please ask the staff for a new logbook so you can log any dive you complete here.

 Any diver inactive for more than 12 months is advised to complete a Perfect Buoyancy specialty dive. This will help not only buoyancy, but also airway control and self rescue skills. The dive counts as 1 of the 5 dives in the Advanced course, and as 1 of 2 dives in the Specialty program. An additional 1200 Baht will be charged on top of normal fun dive packages, which includes the SSI PB Specialty card if the diver has previously done a PB dive.

 Any diver inactive for 18 months or more will be required to attend a Perfect Buoyancy specialty dive. Buoyancy control is very important not only for the diver, but also for the environment.

  These requirements are for the safety of all divers on board the boat, including you!
