Best dive shop on the island. Great atmosphere and great food. Mira and Ryan are young classy professionals and know where the best dive spots are around Koh Tao. Mike is a stellar photographer if you want photos. The food is made with love and is phenomenal because they have a proper chef! Try the ginger ninja drink ッ

We had an amazing diving trip with snorkeling activities for our kids. It was all well organised and they were very flexible to change the schedule during the day. Big up! Shout out to Mira for being so kind and professional at the same time, and to Max for inspiring our boys to dive! Kudos!

I had an excellent experience completing my professional diving certification up to 30 meters at this dive center. The training was thorough, well-structured, and very professional from start to finish. A special mention goes to my instructor, Lydia, who was absolutely outstanding. She explained everything clearly and patiently, making sure I fully understood both the theoretical and practical aspects of diving. Her attention to detail, calm attitude, and deep knowledge made me feel confident and safe at all times underwater. Lydia took the time to answer every question, emphasized safety without making the experience stressful, and ensured that each dive was both educational and enjoyable. You can really tell she cares about her students and about high training standards. The equipment was in great condition, the dives were well organized, and the overall atmosphere was friendly and professional. I highly recommend this dive center to anyone looking to get certified or improve their diving skills especially if you get the chance to train with Lydia. An unforgettable and very high-quality diving experience. 🌊🤿

Did my refresher open water dives with Shai. Explanations and instructions were on point. Dives were fantastic. Also being just few people on the boat and having the dives exclusively just with the instructor was a big plus. Will definitely log a few more dives with them!
