Hats off to the dive team at Charm Churee Villas. First to Merlyn for DSD and Open Water, thanks for the amazing instruction. Learning by watching someone as comfortable in the water is second to none. Thanks to Mo for partnering through PPB. Lorne, thanks for the coke at 30 meters underwater and the 30m sea crisps later on the... More

I couldn't have asked for a better way to get my open water ticket. Never thought my first ever dive experience would be with a tiny thai girl instructing, but Mo was fantastic during the DSD. And to complete the diving part of the course one on one with Merlyn was brilliant! He was a great teacher and very professional...and... More

Miles ahead, focus on matching dives that suit your experience instead of focusing on discovery diving which it appears every dive shop on this island likes to do. Lorne is an amazing manager with a great team of professionals who know the sites to maximise your dive time. Also very good value for money, and note they have the only... More

I really recommend you this quiet and cozy place on the wonderful Koh Tao island. It is true that the island certifies 30% of the world diving license, meaning that every 10 meters you can find diving school. But don't be fooled! Choose the Charm Churee school, because you will never be more than 3-5 persons in the group, what... More

We ended up at the Charm Churee resort by pure luck as we did not plan & pre book our stay on Koh Tao. After a short chat with Lorne and team at the dive shop i felt immediately comfortable. I spent 3 days diving including my first open water dives- shout out to Merlyn, two thumbs up. My experience... More

We went with two different instructors. Lee took us places with many fish. He seemed to really care that we really enjoyed the dive. You cant beat the price $20 a dive. a little unorganised but the location and Lee are amazing. Staff is very friendly. Lee is very knowledgable and professional

Me and my two friends did three days diving with Dive at Charm Churee and I can only echo the fantastic reviews they have already received. I have dived with several other schools on Tao before discovering Lorne and his team and there is no comparison, Dive at charm Churee is leagues ahead in both quality of service and quality... More

Best experience ever with a dive center. Lorne and his team went out of their way to give us a great couple of dives. It’s obvious that Lorne cares about every detail, loves the sport of diving, and wants everyone to have an excellent time with him and his crew. Lorne took the time personally to take me and my...

I did my Padi Open Water with Yuri as my instructor in December 2012. He provided 1-to-1 instruction in the best possible way, taking safety really seriously and was easy-going and fun to be with. My wife did a refresher course with Mo and joined me later for several dives. Our expectations were more than fulfilled, also thanks to manager... More
