Nobody needs experience for the one-day Basic Diver. You learn the basics in shallow water, then make two dives with your instructor, never more than two students per instructor. The courses go on from there, up to Advanced Open Water, rescue and specialties, with four students at most per class.

The one-day dives are at Koh Haa or Koh Bida. Every day depends on the weather and the sea, and you follow your instructor's safety instructions from start to finish.
