I went scuba diving for the first time and it was truly incredible! I was so nervous, but Lydia(the best instructor ever) helped me through the entire dive and it was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had! Could not recommend more!!
We did the open water training. We enjoyed a lot the place to start (nice restaurant and bar by the beach with amazing sunset) and all the staff was great. Most importantly Ana (our teacher) was very thoughtful, knowledgeable, we felt super safe diving and we had a lot of fun 😁 I absolutely recommend to go there 👌🏼
Such a lovely group of people. Professional, knowledgeable and friendly. Would highly recommended for anyone wanting to dive in Koh Tao. Thank you Liv, Lydia, Julia, Shai and Char
It’s a focused 1–2 day workshop that bridges the gap between the BSAC Boat Handling Course and the Diver Coxswain Assessment. You’ll gain extra helm time and refine your seamanship under instructor supervision.
The workshop includes a minimum of five hours behind the helm, plus time assisting as crew. You’ll handle real conditions, perform turns, approach moorings, and run diver operations aboard our speedboat.
While not mandatory, it’s highly recommended if you don’t have regular access to a RIB or small boat. It ensures you meet the five-hour helm experience required for the Coxswain Assessment.
Depending on group size, the course runs 1–2 days. It includes instruction, boat use, certification acknowledgment, and personalized feedback from your BSAC instructor.
Yes. You don’t need a diving certification to participate. The workshop focuses purely on seamanship, navigation, and boat-handling skills useful for divers, instructors, and ocean professionals alike.
