👍👍 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.
