Phoenix Divers

Phoenix Divers is an SSI-affiliated centre situated in the Ko Pha-ngan District of Thailand. The centre serves as a base for exploring the diverse marine environments of the Gulf, ranging from steep walls to significant wreck sites.

Whether you are looking to start your training or progress through professional levels, the centre provides the structure needed for systematic progression. The local waters offer a variety of topographies that cater to different experience levels and interests.

The centre operates under the SSI framework, offering a structured pathway for both recreational and professional divers. This includes everything from initial entry-level courses to advanced instructor training and SSI Instructor Crossover programmes.

For those looking to refine their skills or prepare for professional roles, the curriculum covers specialised training such as the Advanced Wreck Specialty and Divemaster qualifications. The focus remains on technical proficiency and safety throughout the training process.

The course catalogue is extensive, covering the full spectrum of SSI certifications. Beginners can start with the Open Water Diver course or a Try Dive, while those looking to advance can enrol in the Advanced Diving Course, Deep Diver, or the Advanced Wreck Specialty.

Professional training is also a core component of the centre's offering. This includes Rescue Diver, Divemaster, and Instructor Training, as well as the SSI Instructor Crossover for those moving between agencies. For divers needing to refresh their skills, a Refresher Course or Scuba Review is also available.

Nitrox is available for divers looking to extend their bottom time or manage nitrogen loading more effectively. This is a standard offering for those undertaking advanced training or planning multiple dives in a single day.

While specific compressor brands are not listed, the centre provides the necessary infrastructure to support both recreational and advanced diving requirements on-site.

The local waters are known for sightings of larger pelagics. Divers may encounter Blacktip reef sharks and, depending on the season, the chance to see a Whale shark passing through the area.

In the reef environments, you will find a variety of smaller inhabitants. The rocky outcrops and pinnacles provide plenty of crevices for various fish species to inhabit, creating a busy ecosystem for observant divers.

Macro life and smaller organisms are present throughout the various dive sites, from the sandy patches to the more complex structures of the wrecks and pinnacles.
