Dive center

Aqua Vision Dive Co. Ltd

PADI 5 Star Dive Center

Located in the heart of Ao Nang on Thailand’s stunning Andaman Coast, Aqua Vision Dive Center is my full-service, PADI 5-Star dive resort, where I’ve been welcoming divers since 1997. With over 40 years of combined local diving experience among our team, we take pride in offering professional, safe, and fun scuba experiences for divers of all levels — from complete beginners to professionals advancing their careers.

Our philosophy has always been simple: keep it friendly, personal, and professional. Even after many years of growth, we’ve maintained a small, boutique-style atmosphere that allows us to give every guest the individual attention they deserve. Many of our divers return year after year, drawn by our relaxed vibe, experienced instructors, and passion for the ocean.

At Aqua Vision, we offer a full range of PADI courses, from Discover Scuba Diving and Open Water to Advanced, Rescue, and professional programs like Divemaster and Instructor Development (IDC). We also provide specialty training such as Deep Diver, Underwater Photography, Sidemount, and TecRec. Whether you want to try diving for the first time, expand your skills, or start a new career, you’ll find everything you need right here in Ao Nang.

Krabi is one of the most beautiful diving destinations in Southeast Asia, surrounded by dramatic limestone cliffs, golden beaches, and warm, clear waters teeming with marine life. Our dive trips visit a variety of local reefs and islands throughout the Andaman Sea, with options perfect for both certified divers and students in training.

If you’re planning to dive with us, I recommend reaching out ahead of time to confirm dive schedules and course availability. You can contact me directly, we will make sure your experience in Krabi is safe, memorable, and filled with adventure.

What to expect

This is the eLearning version of the PADI Open Water Diver course, which makes the most of your time by allowing you to study at home before you travel.

The PADI Open Water Diver course consists of three main phases. The first is Knowledge Development, which covers everything you need to know about basic techniques, terminology and safety procedures in scuba diving. The second is Confined Water Dives, which are training sessions conducted in a pool or water with pool-like conditions. They give you the opportunity to get used to the gear you'll be using and practice the basic skills of diving and techniques to keep you safe. The third is your Open Water Dives. This is what it's all about - you'll make your first dives in the ocean! During four dives, you'll perform various skills under water and on the surface to make sure you're a safe and competent diver. The training portion usually only takes up the first part of the dive, meaning that you will get to spend a big part of your time diving with your instructor and exploring the underwater world. As soon as your open water training dives are approved by your instructor you will be certified as a PADI Open Water Diver! This means you will be allowed to rent diving equipment and dive anywhere in the world down to 18 meters, lifelong!
