Fun Dives for Certified Divers

Fun Diving in Koh Tao

“We’re all about keeping groups small, making new friends and diving safe”

Fun Diving at Tech Diving Thailand Dive is all about getting the maximum enjoyment from your dives. To ensure this, we keep groups sizes to a maximum of 4 divers. We’ll also buddy your team based on certification level/ dive experience and comfort in the water.

We provide a dive leader from our full-time professional team to ensure fun dives are carried out with the highest of safety standards. Equipment is included in the cost, however, if you have your own gear we will happily discount your dives.

Dive site selection is realistic and always safety-conscious. We consult with our local Thai Captain on water movement and site conditions every day and only set dive sites 1 day in advance.

We promise to take you to various dive sites as much as possible and for those divers that book on for multiple dives, we will try our best to make sure you dive with your chosen professional throughout your stay.

Should you have any specific dive sites of interest, please let our team know so we can do our best to get you there!

Please note, it is recommended that you do not fly within 18-24 hours after diving!

The Twins Pinnacle dive site is on the other side of Koh Nang Yuan island, between 5m and 20m deep. It is the most popular dive site, protected by the island.

How difficult is Scuba Diving on Koh Tao?

Thailand scuba diving is generally not considered challenging. Koh Tao has the most accessible conditions of all Thailand diving destinations. Koh Tao dive sites are not subject to strong currents, thermoclines, or any sudden changes in water temperature or visibility. Thus diving on Koh Tao is very accessible, whatever your diving experience.

How Safe is diving on Koh Tao?

Koh Tao has world-class emergency response and rescue teams, and while not used regularly, this is an essential part of safety planning. There is also a recompression chamber located less than 2 hours away – much closer than you'll find at other popular diving destinations in Thailand and worldwide.

Koh Tao offers the highest standards regarding diver safety and diver training. The island certifies over 80,000 divers yearly across the many different PADI courses on Koh Tao. Safety measures are in place and followed. PADI has an active presence on the island. Our PADI 5 Star Dive Center is regularly visited by regional managers for evaluations and to keep us up to date with the latest training standards and developments. Plus, our Koh Tao PADI dive team is hand-picked to include some of the region's most professional and experienced PADI instructors.

How to go to Koh Tao?

There are many different ways to get to Koh Tao. If you have time and are on a budget, you can get an overnight bus from Bangkok to Chumphon and a high-speed Catamaran to Koh Tao, which takes two hours.

If you are short of time, there are two flight routes. First, you can fly from Bangkok to Koh Samui or from Bangkok to Surat Thani. Both with a short boat journey across. If you prefer to avoid the bus rides, you can take an overnight train with a similar route.
