An Underwater World; Discover Padi Idc in Phuket, Thailand

A whole new world

From the eyes of a sea creature living in the depths; a fish, a turtle or a crab looking up through the rays of sun streaming through the blue azure, a large grey-green object passes over head at the surface, its fins revolving at high speed-churning white froth and a grating whining noise that suddenly dies as the rest of the body glides to a halt. Then, a strange two legged creature plunges in from the side with its long fins propelling it down deeper. We can only try to imagine how we scuba divers must look to these creatures, yet at the same time make us realize what a wonderful, extraordinary world exists beneath our oceans.

When visiting Thailand, you should not only explore the culture, its people and its jungles, but you should also make the time to discover a whole new world beneath the waves.

Whether your passion is snorkelling on the surface or diving the depths, it’s always advisable to seek formal instruction of some kind before taking the plunge. Though extremely safe, complacency is a danger that cannot be ignored when it comes to any marine recreation, however once you have learned the ropes, you can enjoy the fun safely and free of accidents. The best way to do this would be to take up an introductory course in diving at one of the many schools in Phuket such as PADI Course Director Chris Owen’s Indepth Instruction. This school offers a wide range or PADI courses from beginner snorkel or scuba discovery courses to PADI IDC diving instructor courses.
