What the site says.
- Prices are per person in THB. Instructor Development Course (IDC), DPV and Sidemount are price on request. Club hotel rooms are priced separately.
Paying in baht from the UK.
12,000 THB is £267 at 44.9 to the pound, £286 at 42 and £250 at 48. A UK card paying in baht carries its issuer's foreign-exchange load; a transfer at the mid-market rate to a Thai account usually costs less for a large amount.
Compare the GBP to THB quote before you pay.

How The Baht records these prices
Every price comes from the dive centre's own website, recorded with its page URL, what it includes and the date it was checked; booking platforms, agency directories and review sites are never used. Each price is mapped to a fixed item list so dive centres can be compared; the dive centre's own wording is always shown. Pound figures use the mid-market GBP/THB rate on the day the page was built.
