Base
Phuket Watersports Centre
SIA have established Phuket Water Sports Centre for students who have successfully become ISSA certified. The aim of the free membership of PWSC is to ensure students retain their skills post course. In the past students qualified and then forgot their skills, because they no longer had access to yachts. We have remedied this by having Whats App Activity Groups that they can join, and Go Sailing or do other water sports.
