    We did our OW with scuba club, because they seemed good on Facebook. Well we couldn't choose better. They even helped us to arrange everything for smooth arrival and treat us very well with their premium coffee in the office. All the staff was amazing including Usama that was in touch with us online and helped us with arrival. But of course the biggest thank you belongs to our trainer Andrew. You can't possibly think of better trainer. He is experienced, funny, patient and speaks slowly in the way that everyone can understand him. He always shows you what you will be doing and he makes sure, that you really remember it. We've met with some students from different places and they were quite surprised, when Andrew was explaining to us what we will do. He really does the course the way it will fit your personality and needs. Thanks to that we were usually very fast training the skills and that meant we could use the rest of the time (and air) for "fun dive". But the best thing is, that he knows all the diving sites better than his hostel room, so he knows where to see the animals. Many times we were the only ones on the boat that could experience meeting with blue spotted rey, or this "puff fish" that blows like a balloon. If you are looking not just for your certification, but also to really experience and enjoy the dive sites near Koh Tao, definitely go for Koh Tao Scuba Club and their instructor Andrew (looks a little bit like a Hobbit) 😁🤙

    Came here to do my Advanced Adventurer Certification. Scuba club was very responsive and attentive throughout the whole process. The equipment they used was in good shape and was good quality. The boat also had great spaces to chill on during the journey to the dive sites. Our instructor, Titou, was really experienced, knowledgeable and fun! He was really thorough with his lessons & made it really clear on what we needed to do & look out for on our dives! He also gave really good food recommendations on the island! haha.

    Koh Tao Scuba Club is just not another diving centre. It is indeed a place where they care and ensure you are treated well as a family. The vibes are super chill. For any centre to thrive it is the people behind it. Right from poppy, rose, to usama and my instructor Mel. Everybody made me feel comfortable, safe and secure. Diving with Scuba Club enhanced my experience many fold. I only wish I had a few pics taken. But for that I am going to come back and do my advanced course for sure. What I loved was the diving pool where the first steps of diving took place. The entire infrastructure was top class and not only me all the people who dived felt the same. Once again special thanks to my Instructor he was right on the dot. Post the course I had wonderful interactions with other instructors and I go back with a lot of memories and an experience of a lifetime. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 5 Stars all the way.

    The diving school is very well organized, everyone working here is so nice and helpful. Onilio is the best instructor ever! Our course was so much fun and he explained everything in a great way, so we all learned quickly, and he also made sure, we understood everything well to keep us safe in the water. The dives vere amazing! Update: Did an advanced course with Oni as well, it was absolutely fantastic! The night dive was my highlight. During my time on the island I met more people who did an open water license. They didn't do buddies, no mask exercises; absolutely careless instructors, who put their lifes in danger. I am so grateful to have got my license with Onilio and this school, thank you so much!

    Quick and uncomplicated inquiry at the beginning, overnight stay in the hostel was simple but very hospitable, our teacher was great, precise explanations, quick implementation possible, very friendly, helpful and considerate. The dives were super beautiful and impressive, I enjoyed every second in this amazing underwaterworld. In addition, the equipment was double checked at all times, I felt safe at all times, there was pineapple, cookies, water, tea and coffee in the break times. I can wholeheartedly recommend the complete package at Koh Tao Scuba. I would book it again immediately! Thank you so much for this all-round wonderful experience with you 💙

    I had an amazing time diving with Scuba Club Koh Tao and passing my open water course. I was so happy with my instructor Oni that I decided to continue and take the adventurer course, as I had the chance to carry on with Oni. Everything was included in the price, there were no nasty surprises, we even had 1 or 2 tasty meals provided per day and tea, coffee and water available everywhere we went. All the staff were friendly and helpful, at the school and on the boat, but a special thank you to my instructor Oni. When I come back to Koh Tao I will book more dives with Scuba Club, I wouldn't consider going anywhere else now I feel as though I'm part of the club

    My family of 4 went diving there today! They were amazing! They arranged for free pick up from our hotel. They had excellent equipment, The boat was large enough that we did not feel cramped. It was just the 4 of us and the dive master— they always make certain there is no more than 4 people in a group. The equipment was all brand new- Marus. They asked us where we wanted to go, and off we went! We dove 2 tanks. Incredible visibility! At least 25 meters of visibility. Amazing fish. Our guide, Sasha, was excellent. Superb! They had cookies and watermelon on the boat. After our 2 dives they had a coupon for lunch at the restaurant across the street. It was a great morning! We were so impressed that we booked two extra days of diving with them. Our hotel has a dive shop in it—but this company made it so easy, fun, safe, and personal. They even moved their schedule around so we could go to special dive sites on our next 2 days! They gave us all t shirts that our 2 kids are now proudly wearing!

    I can't say enough about the incredible scuba diving lessons I received from Ona! Ona is not just an instructor; she's a diving magician! From the moment I stepped into the class, I felt welcomed and at ease. The Team's expertise and passion for scuba diving shone through in every lesson. They possess a deep knowledge of the underwater world and is able to convey it in a way that's accessible to all skill levels. Most importantly, they took the time to ensure everyone in the class was comfortable and confident underwater. Safety was always a top priority, and they made sure we knew the ins and outs of scuba equipment, hand signals, and emergency procedures. The hands-on experience was unforgettable, and I felt like I was learning from the best. Ona's guidance during our dives in open water was invaluable. Her ability to spot marine life and share her knowledge of the local ecosystem made the experience even more exciting. Thanks to Koh Tao Scuba Club, I now have the skills and confidence to explore the underwater world with joy and safety. I can't wait to put these skills to use in future dives! If you're considering scuba diving lessons, do yourself a favor and learn from the best. With remarkable instructors who will make your scuba diving journey unforgettable. I wholeheartedly recommend Koh Tao Scuba Club

    My first time Scuba diving and it was so fun and worth it! Exceeded my expectations💯 Our instructor Oni has a very cool map tattoo of Australia, makes so many funny jokes and also takes his time to explain all the skills, best Scuba diving instructor ever! Can’t wait to be back for more fun dives, I hope to reach 1000+ dives like Oni and see a whale shark next time🤙🏽👌🏽

    Amazing experience with super amazing teachers: thank you very much Ona, Jordi and Amin for these wonderful days☀️🐠🩵 We started with the Basic Diver and loved it so much that we decided to do the full Open Water Diver course. Couldn’t have asked for better teachers ✨ we learned a lot, and felt super safe and confident with the skills learned and the attention received - 100% recommend!!!

    I didn’t want to do this but my friend was begging me, so for the sake of keeping the holiday mood happy, we did the open water scuba course. We came from 0 and now feel confident with diving for 40min+ in up to 18m. The Equipment was top notch and they have enough staff members for everybody. Our Instructor Oney (Brazilian guy) was very patient with us despite the differences in our learning speed. (We were assigned with 2 similar aged women) He also did a great job preparing us for the test you have to take to become a certified open water scuba diver. Thanks a lot, also the price was very pleasant.

    The staff was very knowledgeable and patient. They took the time to answer all of my questions and make sure I was comfortable with the equipment. The location was perfect, just a short walk from the beach. The lessons were well-paced and informative. I learned a lot about scuba diving and I'm excited to continue my training. I highly recommend this center to anyone interested in learning to scuba dive. I took the try scuba with Simon 2 and he was very precise, serious, and professional. I highly recommend him as an instructor.

    I did the open water course with 3 more friends, and I can not even describe how amazing it was! 3 days full of fun, beautiful sealife, knowledge and outstanding staff. Our instructor, Safari, was always very patient, fun, and kind. He's a really amazing teacher. Although the course is a bit pricey (250€), it's worth every penny! 100% recommend Koh Tao Scuba Club

    So glad I chose Koh Tao Scuba Club for my open water certification, the three days went by so fast so I am already planning on coming back. 💯 Titou, what an absolute star you are, so grateful to have had you as an instructor, you thought me so much, you helped me relax and enjoy myself knowing I was in such good hands (plus you didn’t lose me in the water which was a task in itself🫣). Loved the experience and would 100% recommend it to anyone coming to Koh Tao. Much, much love for the entire team though as everyone is so attentive, supportive and kind. Keep up the good work guys and see you soon ❤️🥰

    I did several fun dives with scuba club. Visibility was average, but i had a great time. William the dive master is very enthusiastic and did a great job of finding marine life, big and small for us to look at. Would recommend +++

  • 5/5 lucas i. 1 year ago on Google
    I had such a great time diving with scuba club. My instructor Sasha was such a warm hearted and professional guy. The course was so informative and all questions or complications that I had was meet with such professionalism and good explaining. Sasha made it made very comfortable, even when having to handle the stress that the course teaches you about, it only made me respect and value diving even more than I already did and it made me want to dive and learn even more!! Thanks a lot.

  • 5/5 Gisia J. 1 year ago on Google
    I got my open water certificate here. It was such a warm, loving and awesome experience! All the staff are super friendly and from moment one I felt the care and love for diving and for me (the customer). It felt like becoming part of a family, this feeling became increasingly stronger throughout the days I went diving. They are very open and understanding about my anxiety for the idea of diving. They offert to give me a refund if I wasn’t feeling it on day 1 of 3. This wasn’t necessary because I loved it! Our instructor Ainsley was the best. Super passionate, patient, funny and caring. Every moment above and in the water I felt seen, safe and taken care of. There is so much positive things I could say! Please go and experience it for yourself! After the open water course I can not wait to come back, learn more and become a even better diver!

    There are so many dive centers in Koh Tao but I chose Koh Tao Scuba Club because the staffs were always very attentive and friendly. Everyone including the leaders were really friendly and ready to help, and I had a great diving experience with this diving center. Will be coming back for sure!

    Loved learning to Scuba dive with Koh Tao Scuba Club and Titou. Originally planned to only do my Open Water but enjoyed it that much I did my advanced only a couple of days after I finished my Open Water. Titou is a great instructor and everybody at the Scuba Club makes you feel welcome and ensures you have a great time. Would highly recommend! Gwang and Shay were great too 😁.

    Amazing experience at koh Tao scuba club. The staff were super friendly and my instructors patty and lady were so accommodating and informative. They made my time scuba diving that much better and safer. The equipment is well maintained and snacks and refreshments are provided on the boat trips. Overall an amazing experience for a very affordable price. I would 100% recommend koh Tao scuba club for anyone wanting to scuba dive in koh Tao.

    These guys are the BEST! I highly recommend this scuba club. Not only is the staff super helpful and nice (special thanks to Pop) but the price point is really great as well :) I passed my Advance adventurer with them. My instructor was Tom and I can't recommend him enough, he was awesome!  Really great teacher, clear explanations, very professional and patient. Overall, loved the experience. Will come back there if I have the chance!

  • 5/5 Molly L. 1 year ago on Google
    Me and my partner had an amazing experience with scuba club doing our open water diving cert, from when we were first introduced to the course options to our scuba instructor (special mention to Sasha who is an absolute professional and top lad, the absolute best!). The equipment was great, the actual diving locations were amazing and Sasha made the experience unforgettable! He was super patient with us when we were learning and made sure we knew everything we needed to know to keep us safe so we could thoroughly enjoy the dives. We were organised to go somewhere else originally, but we changed our minds as soon as we met the crew at scuba club and we are very glad we did! Best place, we will be returning to do other courses here in the future!

    I had a great experience diving at the Koh Tao Scuba Club. I took the open water course and plan to get take the advanced adventurer later. Everyone was super friendly. My instructor Ona was wonderful. She was super informative, helpful, and patient with us. Very passionate and just had great positive energy throughout the whole thing. Cant wait to go back in the water! next time with a gopro
