Leveling Up with Scuba Birds

Dave and Kimberley take their diving to the next level with the Advanced Open Water certification, training with Scuba Birds Dive Center on Koh Tao island. The course builds on basic open water skills and opens up deeper, more adventurous diving, and the video shows what the process looks like for recreational divers considering the same step.

Their Base on Koh Tao

The family stayed at Nadapa Resort on Koh Tao while taking the course with Scuba Birds. Their accommodation formed the base for this diving trip.

Why Koh Tao for Certification

Koh Tao certifies more divers than almost anywhere else on earth thanks to warm water, gentle conditions, and competitive course prices. For Hua Hin based expats, it is the obvious weekend or week long escape for certification, and this video gives a real look at both the training and the island lifestyle around it.
