    Excellent service from Aquatic life. I contacted Jo rather late, the day before I arrive in Koh Samui and Jo was able to fit me in the next day’s dive trip to Sail Rock and arrange an airport pick up after I land and head straight to the pier. Even though Mother Nature didn’t provide the best of visibility, Jo led us to huge schools of big eye trevally, Barracudas, queen fishes and grouper to name a few. Going through the “Chimney” swim through was also another highlight of the dives. Thank you Jo, really appreciate it mate.

    Had a great diving experience with Joe and the team at The Life Aquatic. Very friendly service from the moment we were picked up at our resort to the end of the day. Joe was a very reassuring dive instructor that calmly helped me out when I had an issue under water. Great dive site for large schools of fish such as Barracuda and Travally. I must make a special mention to Joe who organised the return of my GoPro, when I left it in the Taxi. If you dive at Ko Samui you owe yourselves to go with Joe and The Life Aquatic!

    Can’t recommend them enough. Liam gave us his brutally honest opinion about the current diving conditions. They weren’t as he would like to offer. We really appreciated (t)his attitude. And his humour and stories. He really took the time for us. Great guy! According to my girlfriend (I had to ‘babysit’ our daughter) she enjoyed both dives nonetheless on the day itself. And everything you come to expect involving a dive trip was perfectly arranged. From pick-up, lunch to equipment.

    What an amazing experience! Lukia was such a great instructor. From the first day in the pool, it was an absolute pleasure to learn from her. Super motivating and giving confidence to us. Never felt scared (it was my first time) at any moment…but not because of me, but because of Lukia. Dives were superb and we even spotted a whale shark!! They made it very easy from the beginning to accommodate my needs for the course, as I could not take the classes 3 days in a row. Overall, a stunning and wonderful experience :D

    Great diving experience and great dive team. I highly recommend life aquatic. Shout out to Pascal for being an awesome guide on both of my dives. My wife and 8 year old daughter did a bubble maker with Anna and loved it. Anna provided a wonderful introduction to diving 🙏🏽 and was very patient and kind. Great first diving experience

    Did the first timer diving course for one day to Koh Tao which was brilliant. Without prior experience I did two open water dives which was amazing, with Jo as the teacher taking great care and explaining everything very well. He also took a bunch of amazing videos. Would highly recommend & hope to come back in the future 🫡

    I was looking for a diving center to improve my recent open water level 1 certification. Thanks to Jo and the members of his team (special note to Anna who is a great guide), I have exceeded my expectations. It's a great team with a good level of equipement. The dive day is well organize in a friendly atmosphere. I am looking forward to coming back as soon as possible. Grezt experience.

    I did my PADI open water course here. What an amazing experience! Very friendly people. Joe organised my course and was in constant touch me on WhatsApp throughout the course. Very professional. My instructor Mati was exceptional and very approachable. As soon as I met him on the first day at the pool, I knew I was in a very safe hands. He thought us all the required skills very well. Smooth pickup and dropoff everyday. Open water dive at Sail rock was amazing! Great visibility and marine life. Overall I totally recommend getting your certification here.

    The dives with this diving school in Koh Samui were absolutely fantastic! The team is extremely professional and friendly. The waters here are breathtakingly beautiful, and they went above and beyond to ensure that every dive was an unforgettable experience. I highly recommend this diving school and look forward to my next visit!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Thank you Jo!

    Brilliant day, service was amazing. The team are so friendly, the best I’ve come across infact. My fiancé was very nervous and the guys reassured her so quickly and professionally and she felt at ease. Tan our instructor was top class!! You can tell they just want you to enjoy diving but safely and responsibly. Great diving company, will 100% be back when next in Koh Samui!

  • 5/5 Mimi N. 1 year ago on Google
    One of my best diving experiences. Joe was super responsive when I booked, came early to pick me up on the other side of the island and is knowledgeable - 14 years on the island. Dave our instructor that day is great, gave us a recap of the basics (which is super useful when you don’t dive regularly), was super organised, patient and kind, took good care of us (3 pax) on the boat and underwater. Cherry on the cake: we saw a young whale shark closely :) The rest of the team was also super friendly and helpful. We chilled altogether with the team after the dive, which I also appreciate in terms of human connection. Would recommend without hesitation!

    Jo and Leo run an incredible dive shop! My husband got certified by The Life Aquatic while we were on Koh Samui for our honeymoon and the overall experience was fantastic. Leo was very responsive to our questions via email as my husband completed the online course content and Jo was knowledgeable and tons of fun while we were in the ocean. I’ve personally been diving for over 16 years and this was the best diving experience I’ve had. I appreciated diving in a small group (it was just my husband, Jo and me in one group) and loved getting to know both Leo and Jo while we were on the island. We are SO glad that we chose to dive with The Life Aquatic! You will be too!

    Great trip out to Sail Rock yesterday. Jo was a superb guide. Great fish, great service, great fun. Sad we only had one day to dive. Highly recommend

    My girlfriend made her OWC with the life aquatic and leo was totally uncomplicated, just great. Everything smooth and easy - always again!

  • 5/5 Trish S. 10 months ago on Google
    Had an amazing time diving with Life Aquatic at Sail Rock. Joe was extremely helpful, professional and easy to communicate with. Went above and beyond to ensure I had a great experience at my two fun dives. Also spotted a jellyfish underwater. Would definitely recommend going on your next dive with their dive center!

    INCREDIBLE! Must repeat experience! We decided to send our 2 teenage boys (16 & 19) on the 3 day PADI course. I can't say enough about how phenomenal their experience was. Liam as an instructor was so much FUN and incredibly professional when it came to diving skills and academics. They had such an amazing dive experience we booked an extra dive where they saw Whale Sharks. All trips were small groups so they had the advantage of 2:1 instruction. We would absolutely recommend. Oh the lunch was fabulous too! Thank you so much Liam, Gabriel and the team. They will be back!

    I’m new to diving and finished off my PADI Open Water with Liam and Nic. I can honestly say that I cannot rate the experience highly enough. Absolutely fantastic teaching with a great sense of humour. They took their time to explain and demonstrate everything to me in a memorable way. They were clearly safety conscious and really professional but at the same time they made it sure it was great fun. The equipment I was given looked brand new and very well maintained. Had some fantastic dives with them and they certainly helped me get the most out of my time in the water. Plenty to see and great dive sites. They know the area extremely well. Refreshments and lunch were perfect and the boat crew were friendly and helpful too. Overall I’ve had such a positive experience from this that I cannot wait to keep diving. They really built my confidence up. If I’m ever looking to do another course or even just to get some more dives in, then I’d happily make the journey back to do it with these guys. I feel that the people you’re with can make or break the experience and Liam excels at getting this right. Great laugh all the way through. Thank you so much for everything and can’t wait to come back and see you!

    I completed the SSI Open Water Diver course with Jo. He was an excellent instructor; he’s fun to work with, but safety and proper procedure remain top priorities. He is very patient and deliberate in his teaching. I feel confident in my ability to dive (within the parameters of my certification) after completing this course.

  • 5/5 Andi D. 1 year ago on Google
    Best dive center! We booked a trip to sail rock. Joe picked us up from the hotel and we drove to Sail Rock with a speed boat together with other groups. Joe was our guide and there were four of us diving. The service was fantastic. Joe took care of everything. We have never had such great service from start to finish in a dive center. Many Thanks. Carmen and Andreas

    Had an amazing day of scuba diving with Life Aquatic. Thanks Joe for direct smooth booking, skilled skipper and our scuba guide Alan Jones, what a gentleman!

  • 5/5 Elodie D. 1 year ago on Google
    Super friendly trip to Sail Rock! I live in Samui and I appreciate we did not have to plan a full week end in Koh Tao for diving. We left from Bangrak in the morning and came back in the very beginning of the afternoon. This is so nice and easy I wish I do again, I recommend this nice team!

  • 5/5 Kurt M. 1 year ago on Google
    I have been diving for over 30 years. Life Aquatic and thier staff was amazing. The diving I can truly say was the best two dives of my life to date. I did not plan to dive on my trip to Thailand but am now planning on returning again to incorporate and relaxation. The visibility and marine life is unmatched to any other destination. I have experienced to date. Come and enjoy a new picacle of diving with Life Aquatic.

  • 5/5 Frederike B. 1 year ago on Google
    Professional, safe and friendly dive school. I recommend this place for both experienced divers and those who want their first taster of scuba diving. The instructors make sure you feel safe and can enjoy the beautiful coral reefs.

  • 5/5 David B. 1 year ago on Google
    I did the PADI open water course with Pascal, and it was brilliant! As an instructor he was very professional, attentive and made me feel very calm in the water. The whole team at Life Aquatic were friendly, experienced, professional and fun to learn with. I had the added bonus of seeing two beautiful whale sharks on the final 2 dives, which was amazing. If you are looking at learning to dive in Samui, I strongly recommend The Life Aquatic!

  • 5/5 Michael E. 1 year ago on Google
    AMAZING! Joe was kind, attentive, funny and gave us a lot of confidence and information for our first dive. He made sure we had the best experience possible and I could not have asked for a better first dive for my partner and I. If you want to experience a world class dive at any level (even beginner) you are in great hands.

  • 5/5 Paula E. 1 year ago on Google
    Diving with them was awesome! Everything was well prepared, equipment is good quality, boat is new, good food… and the best is the instructor! He knew where to look for the stuff and gave us a very cool tour! I truly recommend this shop!
