Diving in Koh Tao - 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!

So much fun! - 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 - 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.

Open five course - It was a fantastic experience my instructors were really easy to talk to and super friendly, I was nervous about my ear pressure going into the course but they were very attentive and I completed my course. Really enjoyed the diced especially the last one that was where we saw the most corals and fish 🐠. Highly recommend

From novice to sdvanced in a week - Great instructors, where safety comes first. Started doing an open water certification with DPM and stayed on an extra couple of days to complete the advanced course I couldnt fault the staff especially my two instructors Pat and Jony for making me feel welcome and, above all safe when out on the water. Taken through core skills for diving at the beginning of the week and ended with a 30m dive to a submerged war ship. Very friendly atmosphere throughout the centre and affordable logdings for those who like dormitory life. If you come to Koh Tao you have to try diving and I would recommend DPM 100%, even it's just for a fun day out. You never know you may end up as an instructor in a year's time.

DPM Open Water Course - What can I say! Such an amazing experience, it’s very fairly priced if you have a couple of extra quid whilst you’re away. DPM is a perfect place to feel at place and involved from the moment arrive. All the staff are so welcoming and lovely, makes you feel apart of the team almost instantly! My instructer Jony was such a lovely, enthusiastic, and patient man who would make sure you’re as comfortable as you are whilst out in the sea. The whole DPM team and site needs superb recognition, definitely a must do if you’re wanting todo it💙

DPM .. best diving school in Thailand - Malena… super friendly and bubbly personality made it achievable with limited confidence .. the effort to train and educate me on the course whilst still being enjoyable, and relaxed. I’m 50 so it’s not just for the young but the young at heart too. The whole team were so friendly and fun we were made to feel welcome and part of the make up of DPM. The guys at reception ❤️ so helpful after the ferry was fully booked abd we were a day late !! Couldn’t have been more accommodating. Every instructor … I believe they are some of the best people and instructors anyone could have

Best diving school in Koh Tao - I can't thank the team of dpm diving Koh Tao enough for opening this new world to me. I struggled in the beginning and lost the hope of learning to dive a bit. They were right there helping me until the end and I managed to get my certificate. If you're ever in Koh Tao, don't miss out on this opportunity. You're in good hands here. Big shout out to Anna, Sergi, Tyler and Harry. Didn't get to be with the rest of the team, but you guys are amazing and made this happen for me and so many others. Cheers!
