Hi Guy's,

I'm arriving in Bangkok on Jan 5th. Within January I am heading to the island of Koh Tao to get my SSI at Big Blue Diving school.

I have a few questions and it would be great if you guys could give any advice for a first time diver.

Will the SSI be accepted everywhere? Is Padi the way to go? I would eventually like to give wreck diving a go, so I don't know if there are more certifications I need to do after this (I imagine there are), and which initial certification is best to get? I don't even know what PADI and SSI will allow me to do.

Just watching the show Descending if anyone has given it a watch, it's pretty great, much like Departures.

Many thanks,
Z
