To take these course, you must minimum be a PADI Open Water Diver (or qualifying certification from an other training organization) & 15 years old.
Advanced Open Water Diver
The Advanced Open Water Diver course is conducted over two days so it does not take long for you to complete this PADI course. For those who wish to have a slower pace, you can take the three day option. With this course you’ll hone your skills by completing five adventure dives.

Divemaster Course
Looking for the first step in working with scuba as a career ? Your adventure into the professional levels of recreational scuba diving begins with the PADI Divemaster program. It lasts from 14 days up to two months depending on how long you can stay. The Divemaster program is hard work but fun and includes lots of ocean dives at the best dive sites in Phu quoc.
The basic Divemaster course is 14-days but the longer you stay the more benefit you’ll get. With each additional week you add you’ll get more chance to practice what you learned on the course and more chance to enjoy some of the great diving here. It’s also a really cost-effective way to log more dives if you don’t have the 40 dives required to start the Divemaster course or if you want to reach the 100-dives needed to start the PADI Instructor course (IDC).
You can start your adventure into the professional levels of recreational scuba diving any time (we don’t have fixed start dates).

To take these courses, you must minimum be 18 years old, a PADI Rescue Diver (or qualifying certification from another training organization), an Emergency First Response Primary and Secondary Care (or qualifying certification from another training organization), course completion within the past 24 months, have at least 40 dives to begin the course and 60 for certification, be fit for diving and submit a Medical Statement signed by a physician within the last 12 months.
Assistant Instructor
Curious about teaching scuba diving? The PADI Assistant Instructor course (AI) is the first part of the full PADI Instructor Course (IDC). The second part of the PADI Instructor Course (IDC) is the PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor course (OWSI). Taking both the Assistant Instructor course and Open Water Scuba Instructor course (plus the PADI Instructor Exam) leads to certification as a PADI Instructor.
However if you don’t have time for the whole Instructor course, or if you are just curious about teaching scuba but not ready to commit to the complete IDC, you can take just the PADI Assistant Instructor (AI) Course in less than one week here in Phu Quoc.
As a PADI Assistant Instructor you will start learning the PADI System of diver education. It’s a great way to gain experience and build upon your abilities to organize and supervise scuba diving activities.

PADI Emergency First Response Instructor course (EFRI) is required for all Instructor candidates taking the PADI Instructor Course (IDC). And because EFRI isn’t a diving specific first aid course divers of any level and non-divers can join to become Emergency First Response Instructors.
During the Emergency First Response Instructor course, you will build on your skill as an Emergency Responder and focus on developing your instructional abilities to teach these skills to others.
