I had 6 lovely dives with Julia, Marc, Tim and Shai. The Store is good equipped and the dive masters/ guides are kind and well prepared. The quiz night was also great fun. Thank you for the whole experience!

We went diving for the first time in Ko Tao with this school. We had a fantastic time, and Lydia (the divemaster) was very kind, helping us set up our equipment and being very patient with us. Highly recommended.
