Doing my Divemaster at Koh Tao Divers has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I came eager to learn and left with much more than I expected: strong knowledge, a renewed passion for diving, and, most of all, the pride of being trained in a dive center that truly values safety, precision, and love for the ocean.

The team of instructors is exceptional—professional and approachable. Each one brings their own style and experience, and it's clear they are committed to shaping not just skilled divers, but better humans underwater. I felt part of a family from day one.

Throughout the course, I learned a lot—not only technically, but also about how to share this passion with respect and responsibility. Diving is taken seriously here, but it's also lived with joy, community, and heart.

If you're looking for a place to grow as a diver—both recreational or technical—this is it. I'll definitely come back to keep learning and exploring the depths.

Thank you, Koh Tao Divers. See you in the blue.

I recently finished my dive master training course at KTD with my incredible instructor Naomi. I spent 3 months in Koh Tao studying 7 different certifications and throughout my entire training was taken care of by the entire team at KTD. My review of this all star team starts with Ploy, offering all the help she could and managing to do so in such a funny and friendly way, to Krista giving us an immediate tour and helping us get set up, to Shawn (+Terry) having an insane amount of energy and making every moment fun, to Pasi being so humble and knowledgeable about all things scuba and being an amazing instructor, to Mika making everyone laugh at every possible situation and being a great instructor for kids especially, and of course to Mikko for being so keen on helping his staff to become some of best divers out there.

This review wouldn't be complete without Naomi, who really took us in with wide open arms and helped us every step of the way. She made sure we completed our tasks to a higher degree than what was expected, giving me the confidence needed to be a DM. She was so patient with us even though we jumped through an ungodly amount of personal hurdles (if you know, you know). Naomi is also incredibly inspirational with what she does, and I'm so grateful to have been able to train with her. Naomi was more than an instructor, but also a friend, and I will be back to train more with her in the future.

Thank you to the whole staff at KTD ♥️

I had an amazing experience during my Divemaster Course at Koh Tao Divers! Pasi and Mika are outstanding instructors—knowledgeable, patient, and passionate about diving. Naomi and Yaiza were incredibly supportive, especially on the tougher days, and their encouragement meant a lot. A special thanks to Yordi, the manager, who was always there with the right solutions to any challenges that came up.

Big cheers and heartfelt thanks to the whole KTD team! You made this journey unforgettable.
