We’ve grown, but our values haven’t changed:
Our mission was and still is to breathe life back into diver education in Koh Tao and build a shop which welcomed people from all over the world, gave them a crew of family members and helped people too.
We wanted to specialise in providing small personal courses where the emphasis was on interaction with a fun relaxed approach. We still chase this dream and make sure our team is living it daily – passing their passion for diving onto you, the customer.

Fun Attitude
Our courses blend expert diving instruction with an infectious sense of fun. This balance transforms learning into an exhilarating adventure, where laughter and discovery go hand-in-hand, ensuring every dive is as enjoyable as it is educational.
Safety Above All
