Koh Tao Divers - KTD

We did our SSI Open Water course with AJ and Matti as instructors and had an amazing time. The course was well organized, fun, and very relaxed, while still feeling professional and safe. Afterwards, we did two additional fun dives. One of them was especially nice because it was the last fun dive for a friend who had just completed her Open Water certification. The office staff is super friendly, everything is well organized, and the overall atmosphere is very chill and welcoming. We felt comfortable the entire time and would definitely recommend this dive center.

I completed a refresher course as well as my advanced diver certification with Koh Tao Diver. I have to say, I had no idea whether the reviews were fake or just overly hyped or how the dive shop would look (since I booked prior to coming to Koh Tao) but I am so so happy I completed all my dives with this dive shop. The level of organization, professionalism, and communication I received back from them on all my questions/concerns was outstanding. I loved the smaller class sizes. Some dive shops on the island take up to 8 divers and KTD has a limit of 4 people per group. I lucked out bc I completed my advanced diver when less people were on the island and ended up having an1-1 personal dive lesson. The dive shop booked me with the same person who conducted my refresher course, Joanna, for both days of the advanced diving as well so I felt very comfortable and at ease understanding her communication under water. Joanna was amazing! She is so calm, very detail oriented, and was available to answer anything I asked. Prior to each dive she would explain the drill and dive route we were going to do. This allowed me to have a god sense of what was to come and not feel so lost. I appreciated how she spent a good amount of time with me on obtaining perfect buoyancy as well as navigation and how to read my dive computer. These are all areas I felt most weak in and I really wanted to better understand before leaving the island. Thanks to Joanna, I now have the confidence to be able to dive back home. I know there is still so much to explore underwater and learn and I look forward to returning to Koh Tao and continuing more studies at this location. This dive shop in particular is more of a technical dive shop and I appreciated the level of mastery of each of the dive instructors (especially mine!).

I had an absolutely amazing experience completing my Open Water diving course with Niina. From the very beginning everyone made me feel truly welcome and she made sure every detail was taken care of so we always felt safe and comfortable. Learning with her was so easy and enjoyable. She explains everything clearly, stays calm in every situation and creates such a relaxed and supportive atmosphere. I couldn’t have imagined a better Open Water course. Highly recommended! 🤿🌊

We had an amazing time getting our SSI Open Water Certification through Koh Tao Divers. Our instructor Mika was awesome. He was very knowledgeable and patient, he made the skills accessible and fun. On our last dive, we got professional pictures from Jake, which turned out beautifully and captured really great memories. Highly recommend! Can’t wait to keep diving.

Did my OWD last year and now Advanced OWD here + few fun dives. Super professional and awesome staff. Just to name few, Alex, Ukki, Alfonso and all of their staff is simply amazing! There is not so many dive centers, that has build such an amazing and welcoming community around them. Already booking my next trip to Koh Tao, so I can continue my journey of learning and diving with them😎

What an experience! I did my Open Water and Advanced OW with Joanna, and it was a really amazing experience. Joanna was very knowledgeable, thorough and nice, she prepared me very well for the dives and made me feel comfortable in the water, and together with the group we also had nice banter which made the whole experience even more fun! I Highly recommend her as your instructor! I then did my Deep Dive and Nitrox specialties with Jonne, who was great both in the academics and the practical part of the course. And again the banter was great and made everything even more fun. Finally I did my Night Dive specialty with Pasi, Who was also very nice and carefully led us to the awesome underwater world during the night. But besides the courses, all the people at the center were super friendly, easy to chat with and to ask questions to. The whole experience was, again, fantastic. I highly recommend to do your courses here, you won't be disappointed and you'll be in for a fun ride! Till next time !

I did open water diving with Joanne a few weeks ago and had the best experience. Joanne is a great instructor, I felt safe and reassured by her in the water, especially when the nerves hit first time. Joanne was very inspiring to be around, I only came for the open water but went on to do my advanced training and other dives because of her! She really helped my confidence and pushed my potential. Would high recommend! Special mention to Axel for his support and Jake for his wonderful photographs which I will treasure for a long time.

I enjoyed my Open Water Diver -course a LOT with Koh Tao Divers! Thank you Igor for recommendation. 🙏 Our instructor Joanne, wow she is such a nice person! ❤️ Everything related to diving was explained clearly, we had no problem following her instructions even though our first language is not English. Her way of teaching was both precise and relaxed. We got so much detailed information about the marine life and fish, since she has a broad understanding in biology. I hate it that I can't stay for her advanced course since we are already leaving the island. 💔 We will be back for sure! 🙌 I can't wait for my next dive!
