Special shoutout to Lydia, my instructor — she was absolutely fantastic! Her calm, patient, and encouraging teaching style made me feel confident and safe from start to finish. She explained everything clearly, had a great sense of humor, and made the dives both fun and educational. If you’re thinking about doing your diving course or just fun dives in Koh Tao, I couldn’t recommend this place enough. Easily one of the highlights of my trip. 🌊🐠
