Great half day try dive experience

Published on Aug, 2024

My Son and I had an amazing experience on the try dive half day course. I had a couple of dives before, for my Son it was his first. I have never had such a thorough explanation about the basics of diving. Our guide Nelly takes her job very seriously, she took great care us, especially my Son who had Some problems with his ears. I highly recommend this diving scool.

Intro to diving

Published on Jul, 2024

Our guide Elena was extremely friendly and supportive. The 2 introductory dives we had were amazing and far exceeding our expectations. We can’t recommend Scuba birds and our guide enough.

Thank you to the best instructor Said and Scuba Bords!

Published on Aug, 2023

100% recommend!My instructor Said was amazing He shares his passion and is so reassuring! Thank you!

It's like in another world!

Published on Aug, 2023

It was an incredible experience for life that you should definitely have. Our guide was very nice and competent when it came to the introduction. In the beginning it's a little strange, but you get used to it very quickly - it's like in another world!

A must do in Koh Tao

Published on Jul, 2023

The experience was just outright amazing and spectacular. Although it was our first time trying out scuba diving, the whole experience made us want to get a certification next time. Den, an absolute unit of a man, was very professional and kind. I would put my life in his hands when facing a great white shark. Nonetheless, his 20 years of experience made us feel calm and comfortable under the sea. Nearly every 15 seconds, he checked on us and kept us safe. He searched through every cracks under the rocks to show us bizarre sea creatures. Because of him, we were able to see many stingrays, eels, and other sea creatures. They provided us with drinks and fruits after the first dive too. The one negative was the language barrier. However, it was very easy to understand because of their experience. We highly recommend getting the second dive. The first dive was kind of painful because it was our first time trying to equalize the pressure in our ears. However, the second dive was not painful at all and was able to dive even lower. We were able to enjoy it alot more since we got used to diving from the first dive. YOU MUST GET THE SECOND DIVE! Overall, 10/10 recommend. Thanks for the experience!
