11 of 59 prices are linked to the shop page they were read from (click a price to open it). Prices marked ^~ are earlier estimates not yet re-checked against the shop's website; treat them as indicative. Green = more than 5 % below median, orange = more than 5 % above. Prices are the shops' own published prices for the standard product (PADI Open Water where both PADI and SSI are offered; lowest listed variant). They exclude accommodation, insurance and, where stated, certification fees. Ratio = maximum students per instructor as reported by the shop. Shops: send corrections; they are applied and dated.

How to read this

The cheapest Open Water in Phuket is 13,800 THB and the most expensive 17,400 THB, a spread of 26 %. Most of the spread is not the training, which follows the same agency standards everywhere, but group size, boat, accommodation bundles and whether the certification fee is included. Ask any shop those four questions before comparing prices.
