Samui Discovery Divers, Co Ltd - Gulf of Thailand

The team at Samui Discovery Divers, Co Ltd are our go-to for diving in the Gulf, especially if you’re looking to get serious about your PADI certs. They’re a 5 Star IDC, which means they teach everything from Open Water right up to instructor development, and they do it really well. We’ve always found their instructors to be patient and thorough, something you really appreciate when you're trying to master a new skill like buoyancy control or navigation. What we love about diving with them is their focused approach to the local sites. They know the currents around Koh Tao like the back of their hand, meaning you're often dropped right into the action, whether it’s cruising with turtles at Shark Island or finding the smaller stuff hidden in the anemones at Japanese Gardens. We’d suggest hopping on their early boat if you can swing it; you beat the crowds and often get better visibility before the day trippers stir things up. They run a tight ship, no fuss, just good diving.
