Mahidol University International College’s (MUIC) Diving Club organized “Scuba Ocean Session” in collaboration with Just Dive Thailand on November 11-12, 2023, bringing 30 participants to Samaesarn, Chonburi to obtain their SSI license, an international certificate for scuba diving.
During the Ocean Session, participants who had previously joined the Scuba Pool Session to learn and practice essential scuba diving skills tested these skills in the Ocean Session to qualify for their international certificate.
For the Open Water license, participants were required to perform various skills, including controlling descent with their dive buddy, mask removal and replacement, regulator clearing, stationary gas sharing, and more. For the Advanced license, they must complete navigation skills, perfect buoyancy, Hardeep Dive (wreck diving), DSMB, torch and hand signs, among others.
Additionally, all participants in both courses, Open Water and Advanced, also got to enjoy a leisure dive after completing all the skills. During this dive, they had the opportunity to explore the aquatic world with the guidance of dive instructors.
