Why should you go there and how do you do it right?

If you're coming to Koh Tao to learn to dive, this is the perfect dive school for you: large enough to offer daily courses, but small enough that the instructors notice if someone in the group isn't having fun. The reviews mention the names of their instructors – that says a lot. It's consistently noticeable that they are patient with people who aren't immediately enthusiastic, and that fun is never neglected.

Open Water and Advanced courses are the core business, and certified divers can participate in dives at Sail Rock, South West Pinnacle, and White Rock. Conditions vary. One group reported plankton and poor visibility at the first two dive sites, prompting the crew to change their plans rather than continue diving—exactly what you want from participants who speak up. They are also flexible regarding rescheduling in case of illness or changed travel plans. The dive center is located directly on Sairee Beach, so there's no need for transportation between theory and practice.
