Languages – because professional courses are longer (from a few weeks to a few months) it is unusual to have one instructor for the entire course this makes it difficult to guarantee languages other than English. Like all courses, materials are available in a variety of languages; however for professional courses some can be more expensive in languages other than English.  Bear in mind that if you intend to work within the dive industry understanding Basic English creates a lot more employment opportunities.

Equipment - professional courses do in most cases include use of basic dive equipment, however it is expected that you as a soon-to-be professional diver invests in at least the basic equipment required and also depending on the course some specialized equipment.  All necessary diving equipment can be purchased on Koh Tao at a very reasonable price.  Kohtao.asia can advice you on what you need and where to get it!

Materials – Are not always included in the course price for BCDprofessional courses; however we have also specified the price of course materials in each individual course description page, please make sure to calculate them into your overall cost before booking.

Examination fees – Each certifying agency charges an examination fee for instructor exams which must be paid before the certification process.

Renewal fees – If you intend to work within the scuba diving industry you must pay an annual fee to the certifying agency to keep you in “working status” the fee varies somewhat from agency to agency.

Koh Tao is known for its high standards when it comes to safety consequently before being allowed to dive you will be asked for your certification card and log book.  If you do not have them do not worry! Each dive centre can look you up online using your name and date of birth.

 

Although the different certifying agencies (PADI, SSI, BSAC, etc.,) recognise each other’s certification, if an individual dive centre does not represent the certifying agency they may not be willing or able to look you up. There are plenty of dive centre on Koh Tao many of which represent all agencies so as long as you have been certified it is not a big problem to track you down however having your card and logbook prevents any of this unnecessary hassle.
