Description

Divers must have a certification for this trip. Divers without certification must book Discover Scuba Diving Koh Tao is an island just north of Koh Samui and is an excellent choice for the variety of dive sites there. From shallow, rocky sites to huge pinnacles, and a wide array of hard and soft corals, not to mention an abundance of marine life, there really is something for everyone. Your day will start with us picking you up at your hotel approximately 7:00 am. We will take you to the pier where you can enjoy some light breakfast and coffee/tea and meet Discovery Divers Team. The boat will leave the pier at 8:00 am. It takes approximately 80 minutes to reach Koh Tao by speedboat. Upon completion of the second dive the boat will return to Koh Samui, and you will be back at your resort around 3:30 pm.

Two nice dives

Everything is great, but quite expensive compared to other countries! Had a nice Austrian dive guide!

Amazing diving experience in Koh Toa from Koh Samui

Very professional organisation, with safety first, good supervising and instruction, nice diving spots and explanations about what to see, underwater life. Very good diving instructor, good food on the boat, transfer from the hotel etc. Everything organized online directly with Discovery Dive Centre.

Diving apparently good, but beware hidden extra charges. Disappointing purchasing experience.

My daughter throughly enjoyed her diving trip, seeing moray eels, groupers, barracuda and felt safe. And a good lunch. My significant gripe was the disappointing way that the trip was booked. On the website, I was able to select which hotel we were staying at (apparently within their complimentary pick up zone) - it was clearly on the drop down list. I then paid a significant deposit for the trip. Some significant time later, after money changed hands, a message appeared advising me that there would be an additional 1500 Baht for transport to/ from the hotel. They did not back down when challenged. This naturally goes against all sorts of trade descriptions / consumer rights / laws. The outfit apologised for “confusion”, but the only confusion is the way that they seem unaware that they are duping people. We ended up funding taxis to within the revised pick up zone. Suggest be very careful booking… An alternative company, which we have had a very positive experience with, is 100 Degrees East.

First Class Company to dive with!

I went on another couple of dives with Discovery Divers and had another great experience. They have the best equipment, great dive guides (Filip, Pierre and Nai) and you will have a great day and experience with them. Fantastic communication with timely hotel pick up, pre dive orientation and post dive review to keep your dive log book up to date. They take you to great dive sites. I will be back diving with them in December!

Operator response

Thank you so much Garrett. We are so happy you enjoyed your first true "fun dives" after doing your Open Water Course and we are thrilled you got to experience the best our team and dive sites have to offer. Our staff has been doing this for a long time, and it goes to show that it doesn't matter who you are buddied with, you will have a great day regardless. SEA you in December!

What's not to like

My son and I had truly great time with Tom, our Thai guide, who is a superb diver. The Discovery operation is relaxed and really friendly, yet truly professional. Highly recommended. A fast boat and good lunch. What's not to like.

Operator response

Thank you for the great review, Charles. After 26 years, we have perfected the ultimate blend of fun, friendly, safe, and organised. We appreciate you highlighting these points and recognising this too. We can't wait to see you both back again!

Super Trip. Great company by Lola

Fantastic trip even if the water was a bit undulating. Lola was a fantastic instructor who exuded a really good mood and had a lot of patience.

Excellent diving points

We had Sami as our dive master today, and she was absolutely outstanding! She guided us to all the special spots in the coral reefs and showed us a variety of beautiful fish. She explained all the steps very carefully, making us feel at ease throughout the experience. We had an amazing time, and they also catered to our dietary needs. A special thanks to OT, who took fantastic pictures and sent us a video of our dives. Thank you, OT!

Operator response

Thank you for the review Monica. We are glad you enjoyed your time with Sam and OT. We hope to see you again

Incredible Diving Experience with Discovery Divers in Koh Samui

After my first diving experience in Phuket back in 2007, returning to the waters around Koh Samui was nothing short of amazing. We completed two dives with Discovery Divers and were so impressed that we immediately booked a Sail Rock dive trip with the same instructor. We felt incredibly lucky to have the entire boat to ourselves, along with just one other diver, which made for a truly personalized and relaxed outing. Our dive guide, Otilio, was professional, knowledgeable, and made us feel completely at ease. A big shoutout also goes to Samira, the deck master, who was equally attentive and helpful throughout the trip. The quality of service, attention to safety, and the warmth of the staff are exactly why we booked another two dives. We hope to return one day for more underwater adventures. Huge credit to the entire Discovery Divers team and their management. Keep up the excellent work!

Operator response

Thank you for the nice review. We have a policy of not canceling trips if we have bookings, so you were very lucky that we had a very light boat that day. We are glad you enjoyed diving with OT and Sam.

Serious diving center

Despite the sullen weather (rain, current, waves), the exit was great. The organization is top, everything is planned, the meal is very good, the supervisors were very friendly and come from all walks of life. Serious and responsible center. I highly recommend it. Many thanks to Samira for her support!
