Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Terrible. Shocked these guys are still in business. Promised we’d see sharks. Barely saw a singular fish. Coral was dead. Horrible

My family and I had an absolutely amazing experience with the Koh Tao Divers! They were hardworking, friendly, incredibly attentive and intelligent divers! Shoutout to our fantastic and talented diving instructor, Kevin. He was the absolute best, he taught with such passion, joy, and patience on what we needed to know about diving! It was incredible. They are definitely the best dive school in Koh Tao, hands down!!! Amazing! Love them and will miss them forever!

Pros:
Kind and smiling divemaster Parn. Small groups 1:4.
Cons:
The boat could really need an all-over renovation. Some of the diving equipment is in good condition, others are in poor condition. We were sad that the dives only lasted 39 and 42 min. We finished both dives at 100 bar (even though we started with between 180-190 bar).
Now we have tried two different diving centers in Koh Tao, and compared to other places (both here in Thailand and in other countries) we have dived, it feels like a busy business and the goal is to get as many divers as possible through per day, instead of personal and unique diving experiences. We miss hospitality, warmth and sincere passion. The price may also reflect that - it is relatively cheap to dive in Koh Tao. However, we are happy to pay more for a better and more memorable experience.

I had Alfonso as my instructor. What an incredible experience. This was the highlight of my trip. Don’t even think about it and just do it, seriously.

Vera and I completed the best Kiss Sidewinder CCR training we could have wished for with Mikko Paasi. Mikko prepared us well for all possible scenarios. His teaching methods were always memorable and effective. A special thanks goes to the entire team at Koh Tao Divers - KTD.
Thank you for the great training! We are coming back to Thailand to embark on new adventures with you.

We had only planned to stay on Koh Tao a few days for our Open Water divers course. Two weeks later we are gleefully looking back at three diving certifications (Open Water Divers, Advanced Adventurer und Enriched Air Nitrox Lv. 2 - YAY!). We experienced that a bubbly slogan can come true: „Diving sucks you into a different world.“ - but more than that: it connects, calms and changes you. Everyday we noticed, how lucky we were to have decided on Koh Toh Divers. It is a basecamp for adventurers, a safe haven full of idiosyncratic explorers and experts. With Mika we had an incredible dive instructor who made us laugh constantly with his witty comments, opened our hearts to the underwater world and the wisdoms it teaches about life (as simple as it sounds: go slowly, don’t forget to breathe, balance your buoyancy). My absolute highlight was the night dive: luminescent plankton lit up the dark waters in front of us, shrimps that sped through the water as if they were peddling on high wheel cycles, and a squid that cheekily catapulted away from us leaving only an ink trail. It is a bit painful how these experiences turn into memories as we depart - but these are bound to stay forever.
