Spoon, Anna and Micheal were AMAZING! We saw green turtles during our snorkel dives. Can’t wait to go for scuba dive with them. Highly recommend them, their fun games and jump competitions 🥳 Update: just done two of their scuba dives. Had an amazing dive. T2 is an amazing diving instructor.

The best dive centre on Koh Tao! Lydia is an incredible instructor and made me feel so safe, comfortable and confident doing my Open Water course. They were amazing with my 10m depth limit due to my medical condition. Lukas was amazing speaking to two specialist diving physicians to make sure everything was safe and that they understood my situation. Everything was adapted and they even offered for me to do more advanced courses adapted to my depth limit. Ana was so good with teaching the theory especially in an ADHD friendly way and they have an amazing team speaking several languages! Really good price, the best people, an amazing environment, really knowledgeable instructors, everything was amazing, I couldn't recommend it more!
