Dive Poin Koh Tao - Koh Tao

The team at Dive Poin Koh Tao are the kind of people you want to spend a week with. They’ve been knocking about Koh Tao for nearly thirty years, so they know these waters like the back of their hand. We love that they really lean into the ‘try diving’ side of things, even offering sessions for kids, which makes them a fantastic pick for families or groups with non-divers wanting a taste. They’re super flexible too, with heaps of accommodation choices near Mae Haad and Sairee, so you can pick your vibe. What makes Dive Poin special for us is their commitment to those initial underwater experiences. They use those calm, clear bays for training, where the sunlight streams down and you can often spot your first curious angelfish or butterflyfish flitting around the corals. It feels safe, friendly, and really gets you comfortable breathing underwater. They offer the full PADI and SSI spectrum up to Rescue Diver, but it’s their patient, encouraging approach to beginners and youngsters that really stands out. We’d suggest hitting them up if you’re bringing the family, or if you’re a newer diver looking for a supportive, unhurried introduction to Koh Tao’s underwater world.
