Thailand Dive & Sail have teamed up with Odyssey Underwater Films to offer the first professional video courses at the Similan Islands and the Mergui Archipelago in Burma (Myanmar).

Odyssey Underwater Films have been setting the standards of film production in Thailand for the last five years and are currently the only Similan company filming in full HD, using multiple lens and professional filtered lighting.

The video course will be conducted on the prestigious Pawara live-aboard over 4 days at the Similan Islands, Koh Bon, Koh Tachai and Richelieu Rock.
