      We invite you to the Molchanov's open water training course which will take place in Thailand on the Koh Tao, which means turtle island in Thai. The smallest and farthest from the mainland of the group of islands (Koh Samui, Koh Phangan, Koh Tao). Possesses its own unforgettable color, with quiet little lagoons and snow-white beaches. Not as touristy as Samui and Pangan.
      Departure will take 5-7 days. Available depths close to shore in five minutes flippers or 10-15 minutes by boat, depending on the level of students.
      Accommodation is possible in hotels, bungalows or apartments right by the water. You can book accommodation on specialized resources.
      Please note that we will dive in the water +28 ° C, so the equipment must be chosen according to personal preferences and capabilities.
