Let's make every dive a memorable chapter in your ocean story.
We’ve grown, but our values haven’t changed:
Our mission was and still is to breathe life back into diver education in Koh Tao and build a shop which welcomed people from all over the world, gave them a crew of family members and helped people too.
We wanted to specialise in providing small personal courses where the emphasis was on interaction with a fun relaxed approach. We still chase this dream and make sure our team is living it daily – passing their passion for diving onto you, the customer.
Small Groups
Designed to ensure personalized attention and deeper learning experiences. This setting fosters stronger connections between divers and instructors, enhancing the overall quality and safety of each dive while creating lasting memories.
Fun Attitude
Our courses blend expert diving instruction with an infectious sense of fun. This balance transforms learning into an exhilarating adventure, where laughter and discovery go hand-in-hand, ensuring every dive is as enjoyable as it is educational.
Safety Above All
Safety is paramount and by integrating rigorous safety protocols with hands-on training, we create a secure and confident diving environment. Our experienced instructors prioritize your well-being, offering peace of mind underwater.
Marine Protection
Dedicated to ocean preservation, our conservation efforts are integral to our identity. We educate divers on eco-friendly practices, aiming to inspire a community committed to protecting marine life. Each dive is a step towards a healthier ocean.
