FAQ

Koh Samui is one of the best bases for diving in Southeast Asia. The island sits close to world-class sites — Sail Rock, Chumphon Pinnacle, Koh Tao, and Ang Thong Marine Park — all reachable by speedboat in under an hour. The Gulf of Thailand is warm (27–30°C), clear, and calm for most of the year.

Yes — Sail Rock is famous for its chimney dive and regular whale shark sightings. Chumphon Pinnacle teems with giant schools of barracuda and occasional whale sharks. Koh Tao offers diverse reef diving including the HTMS Sattakut wreck.

The PADI Open Water course at Silent Divers is ฿18,200, including all equipment, eLearning, pool sessions, four ocean dives, and your certification fee. The Advanced Open Water is ฿14,200. Both include hotel transfers and lunch.

Absolutely. The Discover Scuba Diving experience requires no prior certification — a short pool session followed by a guided ocean dive. For full certification, the PADI Open Water course takes 3–4 days and qualifies you to dive anywhere in the world to 18 metres.

Yes — Sail Rock, 50 minutes from Koh Samui by speedboat, has one of the best whale shark encounter rates in Southeast Asia. Peak season runs March through May, with a secondary window in August and September.

The Gulf of Thailand has year-round diving. The calmest conditions with best visibility are January through April. Whale shark season peaks March to May. November is the only month we'd suggest avoiding — the northeast monsoon can make conditions difficult.
