Diving in Koh Tao

Published on Mar, 2024

I booked it as a last minute option for my open water course. The communication was great from the start, George replied super quick to my queries. Tomas was helping me to register a day before I started the course, he was super nice and helpful. My instructor was Esna, she was very helpful from the beginning to the end. If I had any questions she took her time and patience to guide me. I can say that I feel way more confident now underwater and looking forward to continuing my diving journey. Dpm is a great place to do your diving courses. I cannot recommend enough. Fantastic team! Everyone is welcoming! Thank you for everyone!

This is the best diving place on Koh Tao!!

Open water 30 and the advanced course! What can I say, DPM felt like a family the second I arrived, George and Anna were so welcoming and friendly and helped me out with everything including accommodation and sorting out my courses and answering any questions I had. My open water 30 course with Colo was amazing he is a great teacher and honestly he has made me want to pursue a career in diving. He was patient and explained everything fully and ensured everyone was okay and safe at 30 m down. My advanced course was done by Sergi and he was great he helped me learn my buoyancy and how to navigate under water, he took me on 2 wreck dives and a night dive and he made sure to show everyone all of the different marine life, I was lucky enough to see an eel, octopus, hermit crab, some huge puffer fish, and a grouper that probably could have fit me inside it x2. Not only the courses were great, the social side of DPM is what makes it stand out. I had met people on the boat that were doing dive masters and ended up spending most of my time with them to even going to a meal with all of the DPM staff. 10/10 would recommend and I will be going back in a few months to complete my dive masters and maybe the instructor course with them!

The best diving place in Koh Tao! Very personal and the best instructors! Massive thanks to Jess and Tyler! Both of were fantastic! Couldn’t recommend enough!

So much fun!

Published on Aug, 2023

I dove with Jony and Mind. We had an amazing time! I met other solo divers, it was super easy to socialize. I felt super safe and comfortable with the diving equipment. Luckily, I had a few extra days and got my advanced diving certification too! I would look into staying at the DPM hostel as well.

Highlight of my trip to Thailand

Published on Jul, 2023

My experience with DPM Koh Tao as a first time diver could not have been more positive. I completed my open water and advanced in 5 days and only wish I could have done more! Joaco and Jessy were incredible, they were so supportive and reassuring throughout, and made the experience so enjoyable. The dives were all fantastic, and my whole group have now come out with a true passion for all things diving! Special mention to Ethan as well for taking us on a brilliant night dive. I already have plans to revisit DPM Koh Tao in the near future to complete my master training, and to bring others who want to start their diving career! If you’re looking to dive in Koh Tao, DPM is without a doubt your best option.
