👍👍 Over the past 2 months, I received my Advanced Open Water and Rescue Diver certifications with Black Turtle, and its hard to say anything negative. The Rescue Course with Gabie was literally one of the most fun and thorough courses you could ask for! Black Turtle currently has 2 boats I'm aware of...

👍👍 OceanSound offered the best price on the island (hands down), accompanied by the best trainers (and the best reviews)! Zuzana was patient, upbeat, and extremely experienced. Even with some mask issues underwater, she helped us keep our cool and helped us overcome and learn from the experience! She,...

👍👍 Excellent diving school where I did my Open water diver course. The atmosphere is warm and all the staff are courteous. Matthew (or Matty) was a wonderful instructor. He explains everything very well and makes sure everyone understands. We had a lot of fun while remaining safe. Thank you so much Mat...

👍👍 Five years ago, I came to Koh Tao with no plans and no friends. One thing led to another, and I truly found my family at Roctopus. From day one of Open Water to becoming a certified DiveMaster. I’ve been diving in solidly 20 countries and tons of dive shops around the world… trust me when I say that...

👍👍 We had an amazing dive yesterday! It was a morning dive and we went to green and white rock and saw many many fishes. Probably you’ll will find somewhere else as well, but the best thing. The guides/instructors! They were really friendly and made us feel so comfortable. Especially for us who only ha...

👍👍 Perfect for beginner! Me and my friend did our Open Water Diver certification with Scuba Bird PADI Dive center at Koh Tao (instructor Nelly and Maks) and had the most amazing time doing so.

All levels of courses are being run every day as well as fun diving trips to about 25 different sites to choose from. Great people, flexible schedulin...

👍👍 Highlight of my trip!! Learned open water 20, and honestly couldn't fault it. The structure of the course was well designed and easy to pick up. All the staff were friendly, but our instructor Ponxi really made the experience one of a kind. His charisma and knowledge about diving really made the who...

👍👍 From the moment we walked into 56 we knew we were going to be well looked after. The understated design and awesome waterfront location is very inviting. What an amazing team of people, Rii and Anna did a great job of explaining everything and we signed up for the open water. Our instructor Emmy was...

👍👍 Surreal experience diving at Sail Rock with France Plongee! To start with, they were generous to accommodate us in the last minute for pool training. Antoine made the training really enjoyable with his wit helping us shed off the initial nervousness. The scientific way to explain why we do what we d...

👍👍 I took the AIDA II Beginner Freediving Course with Regina and Niko. Coming from scuba diving, I really underestimated how physically and mentally challenging freediving is. But Regina, who was my instructor in the ocean, was so compassionate and patient! Regina and Niko’s passion for diving is reall...

👍👍 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 vis...

👍👍 We came to Goodtime diving because I won a voucher, and we decided to use it to take part in their 'jumping jaws' adventure where we hiked through the jungle, did cliff-jumping, and snorkelling. We had an absolutely amazing time, and even got to see a baby shark! Charlie and the team were super frie...

👍👍 Thank you for Tamara, Mira and Dakota! My last scuba diving was a few years ago, so I was very worried, and I did a dive review right before I went for a fundiving, and I think it was a perfect review. As soon as I got the review, I remembered what I learned right away!! and even though I didn't spe...
