At The Dive Inn, we've been sharing the magic of Koh Phangan's underwater world since 2009. Today, we're beyond excited to share some big news: We've officially become a proud SSI Dive Center! This transition marks a new chapter for us—one filled with more flexibility, cutting-edge digital tools, and even better experiences for our divers.

Why SSI? Why Now? (And Why We're So Pumped!)
After years of guiding divers through Sail Rock's pinnacles and Koh Phangan's hidden gems, we knew it was time for a change that puts you—the adventurer—at the center. SSI's philosophy aligns perfectly with our relaxed, small-group vibe (max 3 students per instructor). Here's what gets us truly thrilled:
Reason We're Excited | What It Means for You |
Ultimate Flexibility | Customize your training to your pace and style—no rigid schedules. |
Digital Innovation | Free MySSI app with lifetime access to materials, digital cards, and logbooks. |
Traveler-Friendly | Start theory online at home—spend more time diving in paradise! |
Worldwide Recognition | ISO-certified courses accepted everywhere, just like before—but better. |
Eco & Fun Focus | Modern, responsible training that keeps the oceans we love protected. |
SSI isn't just a certification—it's a modern, diver-centered approach that lets us focus on what matters: Unforgettable adventures with whale sharks, vibrant reefs, and that pure weightless joy.

What This Means for Your Next Dive Adventure
Whether you're a first-timer dreaming of your Open Water certification or an experienced diver chasing Advanced skills:

We're celebrating with our divers every day—high-fives underwater, sunset beers on the boat, and stories that last a lifetime.
