To begin the NHRCP courses you must be certified by SSI, PADI or equivalent as an Advanced Level Diver. This means that non-divers coming to do the program must first complete the Open Water (3 Days, 11 000 THB) and the Advance Adventurer (2-3 Days, 10 000 THB). Both of which can be done with our New Heaven Dive School
Minimum age is 16 years old. If you are under 18 years old you need parental consent to join the program.
Also note that participants must be able to carry a gear bag on and off the boat, ascend stairs, and work outside and should be of physical condition to do so.
Diving is about expanding your limits; increasing your potential. And we should take that same attitude with us after we leave the water. By encouraging stewardship and responsible business practices we believe dive schools will soon be rated not by how many certifications they pump out, but by their social and environmental impact.
