I'm only giving 5⭐ because I can't give 6!
I did my open water and advanced open water course with KTD and honestly I'm delighted I did.
A very big thanks to Mika & Naiomi, you guys are awesome!!!
They have buckets of experience that spills over into their teaching and inspires confidence in their students.
I would recommend anyone new to diving to choose KTD and particularly go for the room package as the resort is a 30 second walk away.

I completed the XR Sidemount and Independent Diver Course with KTD and it was one of the best experiences in my diving career.

Being an instructor myself, it was great to have such an amazing instructor who formed the course around my existing knowledge. Jordi is extremely knowledgable and keeps up to date with all the recent trends in sidemount diving and training
Thanks for the amazing dives mate, I couldn't have wished for a better Instructor. Cheers, Pat :)

I just finished my Advanced Adventurer program today and will recommend this diving school to all of my friends. I felt taken care of every step of the way. The course itself was with Mika (dive instructor) and Antti (becoming a divemaster soon) and I feel lucky to have had such great teachers. Mika is clearly very experienced in both diving and teaching it, and they are both attentive, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable. Thank you guys for making me a much more confident diver.
