Pool training sessions meet at our dedicated pools in Chalong — the Freediving pool for freediving courses, and the Diving pool for scuba confined-water sessions. We'll confirm the exact meeting point by WhatsApp once your booking is set.

Good to Know

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

What's the fastest way to reach you?

WhatsApp or Line at +66 89 586 9920 — most messages get a reply within a few hours, and it's the number our team uses to confirm bookings and answer questions about conditions or availability.

Can I just walk in without booking first?

You're welcome to visit our Kata Beach shop directly, but messaging us on WhatsApp first helps us guarantee an instructor and equipment are ready for you, especially in high season.

Where do freediving and scuba pool sessions actually meet?

Pool sessions are held at our dedicated pools in Chalong, not at the Kata Beach shop — freediving courses use our Freediving pool, and scuba confined-water training uses our Diving pool. We'll send you the exact meeting point once your session is confirmed.

What languages does your team speak?

Across our 21-person team, we cover English, French, Thai, Chinese, Italian, German, Russian and Spanish — most guests will find an instructor who speaks their language.

What's your cancellation policy?

Cancel 48+ hours before your excursion for a full refund minus a ฿500 admin charge. Cancellations inside 48 hours or no-shows aren't refunded, and no refunds are given between 15 December and 15 January. See our full cancellation policy below for boat trip and equipment terms.
