Why this scores 36
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
5 Days PADI Open Water and Advanced Open Water Courses: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Pattaya.
How much does 5 Days PADI Open Water and Advanced Open Water Courses cost?
+
Prices start at ฿29,500 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Pattaya usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 5 Days PADI Open Water and Advanced Open Water Courses take?
+
Plan for about 120 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Pattaya is not rushed.
Is 5 Days PADI Open Water and Advanced Open Water Courses worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 36 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (0/5 across 0 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Pattaya, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 5 Days PADI Open Water and Advanced Open Water Courses?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 5 Days PADI Open Water and Advanced Open Water Courses suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 120-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 5 Days PADI Open Water and Advanced Open Water Courses?
+
Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Pattaya can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Pattaya and add a light layer if any part of the 120-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 5 Days PADI Open Water and Advanced Open Water Courses start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Pattaya within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Pattaya?
+
On Outty we rank every Pattaya experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Pattaya Full-Day 3 Tropical Island tour Snorkeling Cruise Buffet, Elephant Jungle Sanctuary: Half Day Morning Program, Beginner Rider Tour Pattaya 28km ATV or Buggy Adventure. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Pattaya?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Pattaya?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in 5 Days PADI Open Water and Advanced Open Water Courses?
+
Included: PADI E-Learning and Course Materials; Lunch; Carbonated beverages; Breakfast; and PADI Instructor. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does 5 Days PADI Open Water and Advanced Open Water Courses include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 798 listed pickup locations in and around Pattaya. Be ready about 45 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is 5 Days PADI Open Water and Advanced Open Water Courses offered in?
+
It is offered in German, Swedish, Russian, English, Chinese, French and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for 5 Days PADI Open Water and Advanced Open Water Courses?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is 5 Days PADI Open Water and Advanced Open Water Courses wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
