About the hotel:
We hadden het hotel om de gratis pick-up gevraagd. Helaas werden we niet opghaald. De reden van het hotel was dat we de aanvraag via sawadee hadden moeten doen en niet rechtstreeks bij het hotel. Het hotel is echter op loopafstand van de pier.

ABOUT SCUBA DIVING ON KOH TAO
Koh Tao is attracting both new-comers and experienced divers alike. The beauty of the coral reefs and the warm tropical water are promising fun for everybody. Koh Tao and Koh Nang Yuan offer more then 30 dive sites for you to explore. Some of whom belong to the best dive sites of Thailand. Such as Sailrock or Chumpon Pinnacle. No matter what time of the year it is, you will always find a spot for a beautiful dive somewhere near the island.
img img img   img
Some Facts about Scuba Diving on Koh Tao.  First of all, there are many Diving Operators on Koh Tao and all of them teach scuba diving lessons. The prices for fun diving and scuba diving lessons of any kind are among the lowest in the world and all Dive Resorts on the island have agreed to work with the same prices.  So what is the difference? And what is in for you?  You are looking for excellent service, friendliness and competence of the staff.
img   img
One of the most important points for you and for us is safety. All of our dive equipment is brand new and serviced regularly, and all dives are planned to be well within the recommended limits.
img We have full safety equipment at our resort and onboard our dive boat, including comprehensive medical hits and oxygen hits, providing 100% oxygen in the unlikely event of an emergency.


Our Customers enjoy a traveler insurance, as well as a special scuba diving insurance by SSS. The Brand New 16.5 x 5 Meter diving boat is comfortable and built for easy entry's and exits. Tanks and weights are waiting for you on the boat. All equipment is new and up to date. The compressor and the tanks are on board.

SCUBA DIVING LESSON ON KOH TAO
PADI Scuba Diving Courses
PADI Diving Course on Koh Tao

We follow the PADI system of diver education as they are the largest SCUBA diving certification organization in the world, and internationally recognized.

The most important thing for us, however, is thorough training, which we attain with small groups (we won't usually refuse just one student) and personal, understanding teaching. Courses are available in English, German and many other languages, with educational materials available in most languages.
img
img   PADI Scuba Review
PADI recommends this "scuba-diving tune-up" after more than 6 months of no diving. It certainly is necessary after much longer periods or if you're feeling a little out of touch. We will go through your basic dive theory, check & refine your SCUBA DIVING skills and then do some fun diving with you too.
 
img   Discover SCUBA Diving on Koh Tao
For people without the time for a full course or who want to check it out first, we are happy to give you a real taste of diving. It's a strictly shallow dive, starting in water "deep enough to stand up", after a thorough briefing on safety rules, techniques and equipment. We usually specify a maximum of two divers per PADI Instructor. Your dive can then be credited towards an Open Water Diver Course.
 
img  

PADI Open Water Diver
A full beginners diving coursse, taking about 4 days and involving theory sessions (DVD & personal teaching), shallow water training and 4 actual dives. On successful completion of the program you should understand all the basics of safe diving and will receive your log book plus PADI Scuba Diver Certification; valid for life.

   
img   Advanced Open Water Diver
The next level, featuring further training in underwater navigation and deep diving, plus 3 other specialized activities such as night diving, underwater naturalist, photography, multilevel diving or dive with an under water scooter. So you do 5 dives in total over 2 to 3 days. Any of the advanced dives can then be credited to the specialty course that might take your fancy. You will finish the course a more confident and experienced diver, with a further Diving Certification to prove it!
 
img   PADI Emergency First Responder
A one-day, classroom based course on basic first aid, required before you start your Rescue Diver Program, although proof of training (inc. CPR) with any recognized First Aid Organization within the past 2 years is also acceptable.
   
img  

PADI Rescue Diver
A more serious (but also much fun) level of diving education. Self rescue techniques, surface and underwater problems, emergency management, actual rescue scenarios and more are covered in theory lessons and a minimum of 5 in-water training sessions over at least 3 days. With this scuba diving certification you should be able to better care for a dive buddy with problems, in addition to becoming more self-sufficient & confident as a scuba-diver yourself.

   
img  

PADI Dive Master
The first level in the PADI professional program will teach you how to care for Certified Scuba Divers and assist in teaching situations. This should take a minimum of 4 weeks (including as many dives as it takes) as there's lots to do! In-depth (so to speak) theory, lots of in-water work, but also learning how to help in the running of a scuba dive center, from filling tanks and maintaining equipment, to caring for divers & students, to handling potential customers and dealing with paperwork.

We are always interested in teaching these courses, as we try to employ only dive masters taught by ourselves as staff here.

PADI Specialty Training
What is Special in Diving for you? We have dived here for 15 years & have compiled a full photo directory of our local marine life, so join us for the Specialty U/W Naturalist course or the U/W Photographer course; we are experts. Have you ever dived with the extra bottom time that enriched air (nitrox) allows you, or do you want to dive deeper, but with proper training first? Then we've got the Specialty Enriched Air or Deep Diver courses.

Basically there is a program to meet most divers special interests & we're usually happy to teach it; just let us know. Just, please dont ask at Blue Diamond Dive Resort for the "u/w hunter" course, as we are doing the best we can to preserve the underwater world on Ko Tao! Altitude Diving and Ice Diving are also quiet difficult to archive on Koh Tao.
