Junior Open Water and fun dives at Scuba Club - thanks Angel ! - My son (12 years old) took his Junior Open Water course with Scuba Club on Koh Tao, led by Angel, his instructor. He had already done the kids intro fun dives the day before. The group my son was in was small with several dive masters assisting. Angel took very special personal care of my son, always ensuring his safety, comfort, confidence and of course enjoyment were priority. At the end of the first day, quite literally under Angel’s wing, my son was already enjoying the sport and spotting the local underwater wildlife at several local dive spots around the island. The second day at white rock was a highlight as his confidence and new skills were being put into practice but still under the constant assured and close supervision of Angel. I am quite an experienced recreational diver and initially joined the group to be on hand if was needed but it was clear this wasn’t necessary. Instead I took a lot of fun dives with Lene who was a great guide, always friendly, smiling and on hand to help. Can really recommend Scuba Club for the great staff with special shout out to Angel and Lene. After 4 wonderful days on Koh Tao, we now takeaway wonderful memories, photos and my son has gained his Junior Open water certification, ready for the next step.

First Time Diver - This was my first time diving so I was a little nervous at first but my instructor Oni helped ease me into it and I really enjoyed. It was unfortunately the last day of our travels in ko tao as we were moving on but it was such an experience that we traveled back to ko tao from a Chiang Mai (24 hours travel time) to become certified divers. We completed out certification with instructor Angel and he was also great. We dove many times with Angel who was a funny guy who helped us feel safe while also helping us explore and point out some cool marine life. We also enjoyed our experience that much with Angel that we’re debating continuing our scuba diving adventures already😅

Scuba Club Koh Tao - great place to learn and to Dive - The teachers were great. They each had their own style. Went with family with different levels and was able to handle the range of learning speeds. It was great to learn in a place with great dive areas right there. Everything was worth it when we got to do real dives and see the wildlife. Highly recommend Jimmy and Colin. Jimmy was vey nice and calm and clearly explained the concepts. Colin was funny and was able to keep things moving.

Koh Tao Scuba Club Open Water Diver Course - Had an amazing three days learning how scuba dive and then become a certified diver myself. Had a day learning the basics in the pool and another two doing dives in open ocean with lots of nice views and ocean life to see. My instructor was PB and was brilliant, very helpful and good to be around so would definitely recommend!

A Unique Experience from a Pro and Human Team. - What an experience! They have been days of learning, laughter and enjoyment thanks to Angel (divewithangelssi), who has taken us by the hand and maintained the good vibes of the group. Top-rated days in our old town to Thailand! Thanks to Angel (and Christian), we have been carefree and able to focus on enjoying every moment.
