What a wonderful experience!
A friend and I booked the open water certification having no prior experience with scuba. Our instructor, Roni, was clear and helpful when preparing us for our sessions in the water. Once we did our first water session all worries I had about diving faded away and by day 3 I was so thankful I chose to dive in Koh Tao!

Had an amazing 3-day open water course. Cannot recommend enough. Our instructor Roni was super nice, knew what he was talking about and I always felt safe diving with him. Also, his way of teaching was very understandable and clear. I had the feeling he really cares about his students. Anyways, great place to learn diving, I will do the advanced course with them for sure 🤙

If I could, I would give six stars since with Koh Tao Divers the experience is the best I have ever had with a diving center. We had absolutely awesome service from Koh Tao Divers before, during and after our trip!

I did my Advanced Open Water Diver with Mika Lindström and can highly recomend doing advanced with Mika. We had a very practical approach and learned skills that will make my diving experience very much better in the future. Throughout the cource Mika had a very professional touch.
Special thanks to the whole crew in Koh Tao Divers, you rock!

Had the best experience here with Isra! I got a tip from a friend (a diver himself) to choose this school because they 1. Teach properly 2. Are safe 3. It's fun there. And I cannot agree more, Isra was always calm, full of positive energy & that also transferred to us. We really enjoyed diving and got so see so many cool things as well as learn about the equipment properly. I would give 7/5 stars if I could!!
