Underwater Wedding on Koh Tao Thailand – The Wedding Party

While an underwater wedding is a lot more fun than any other wedding we’ve heard of, it also makes thirsty… very thirsty! And like any other wedding an underwater wedding also requires an appropriate party. Nadine and Nico’s party wasn’t held under water though; because of all the tank filling and Mio participating on the party, we’ve decided to move the party to the Rasta Bar.  Enjoy some party pictures at the Rasta Bar in Chalok baan Kao, opposite of Big Bubble Dive Resort.

PADI Rescue Diving Course

During the PADI Open Water Diving Course you have learned about the basics of scuba diving and you have mastered dive knowledge and dive skills. You have also learned how to take care of yourself underwater and on the surface. In the Advanced Open Water Course, your focus has broadened to include more of the underwater environment in a variety of situations.

In the PADI Rescue Diver Course, we will take you one step further. You will learn how to prevent problems, and how to manage dangerous situations. In the Rescue Diving Course your focus will be on helping others, either on the dive boat or underwater, without endangering yourself. Your knowledge will be built up on what you have already learned in your previous diving courses. The PADI Rescue Diver Course is both demanding and rewarding. After you have become a certified PADI Rescue Diver, you will dive with far more self-confidence.

To participate on the PADI Rescue Diver Course you need to be at least 15 years of age, you need to have at least 20 logged dives and to be certified as a PADI Advanced Open Water Diver or equivalent. It is also a prerequisite that you are in possession of a valid First Aid Certificate, not older than two years. If you don’t have any such certification, either from a school or fire department, you can easily obtain an Emergency First Response certificate, right here at Big Bubble Dive Resort. It will only take one day! The Emergency First Response (EFR) Course is far more scuba diving specific than any other first aid course could ever be. So you may even want to consider taking part on this course anyway. You will learn about the different types of diving injuries such as jellyfish stings, sea urchin wounds and other marine life injuries.

What will you learn in the PADI Rescue Diving Course?

• First of all… Self Rescue!
• Recognizing and managing stress on fellow divers
• Different forms of stress and their symptoms and “signals”
• Handling first-aid materials
• First-aid procedures
• Swimming and non-swimming assists
• Underwater problems
• Rescuing panicked divers
• Rescuing unresponsive divers
• Egress (different types of exits)

Big Bubble Dive Resort offers a 10% discount on all continuing diving courses after the PADI Open Water Course!

Learn how to dive on Koh Tao

PADI scuba diving certifications start at the “Open Water Diver” level, where you will learn the basics of scuba diving. We will explain all PADI Scuba Diving Courses in detail within this section. Now if you are not sure yet if you want to learn how to dive, or if you a bit short on time, you might still have a chance to explore Koh Tao’s underwater world and get an idea of what breathing under water is like, by discovering scuba diving on an Introduction Dive or DSD with Big Bubble Dive Resort.

In case your time frame on Koh Tao allows you just a little bit more after you have already discovered that scuba diving well could become your newest hobby, but you don’t have the full four days it takes to obtain an Open Water Diver Certification; you might want to consider a Scuba Diver Certification instead. The PADI Scuba Diver Certification can later be upgraded to a full OWD certification.
Read more about the PADI Open Water Diving Course here.

If though, your time allows to stay a bit longer on Koh Tao, and you found that scuba diving is such great fun that you would like to improve your diving skills, why not consider going for the Advanced Diving Course right away and take advantage of a 10% discount for continuing education? Since scuba diving opens such a wide field of new possibilities and new hobbies, the PADI advanced open water diver course is especially designed to suit the interests of every individual scuba diver. Learn more about the PADI AOWD Diving Course and the various specialty dives.

In case you are already an advanced diver and you feel you would still like to learn more about diving and about how to become a more responsible scuba diver, the Rescue Diver Course might be the right way to go. The rescue course is also a prerequisite to all PADI professional diving courses like our Divemaster Internship. We will also be happy to explain all further details about a professional diving career with you in person, once you have arrived on Koh Tao.
