Bubbles Up! Dive Center

Koh Tao, Thailand

Bubbles Up! on Koh Tao strikes a nice balance. It's a busy operation, as you’d expect from a dive shop on such a popular island, but they manage to keep things feeling pretty personal. We’ve found their instructors are good at tuning into what each diver needs, whether you're taking your first breaths underwater or want to fine-tune your buoyancy. They run trips to all the classic Koh Tao spots – Chumphon Pinnacle for the schooling barracuda, and Sail Rock when the conditions are right for whale sharks – but they’ll also suggest some quieter reef dives if the crowds are getting a bit much. It’s a solid choice if you want reliable diving and a friendly crew without too much fuss.
