100% the best instructors on Koh Tao. - We completed our RAID openwater and advanced certification with James and Armand from LBD this week. We had an absolutely fantastic time, so much so that we ended up staying to complete another five dives. James is incredibly experienced, amazing at teaching both the theory and practical elements of safe diving, and really fun to dive with. At the end of the course, we felt confident in both the water and our skills.
We not only gained certification but also really enjoyed each of our dives, and James ensured we dived at different sites to practice different skills and varying depths. James was also great at spotting things we missed, including rays and moray eels.
We enjoyed it so much that we ended up changing our travel plans to complete the RAID Advanced 30 certification, including navigation, ship wrecks, and night dives up to 30 meters. We have seen groupers hunting, blue-spotted rays, clownfish hosting in anemones, and swam amongst shoals of fussilers and along beds of coral. A highlight was the night dive and seeing the bioluminescent plankton when we turned our torches off and waved our hands.
I would highly recommend booking with LBD and, in particular, requesting James or Armand, who was supporting another group alongside us and was also fantastic, friendly, and had great advice. Thank you for making our experience amazing.

Diving review - My friend and I completed the Try Dive. We were a bit apprehensive at first but the instructors made us feel so excited and comfortable straight away. The day was amazing and I’d truly recommend it to anyone. We had James, who was an incredible instructor, made us feel so safe and at ease. If in doubt - do it!!! One of the best days EVER!

Open water 20 - Best dive shop!! Completed my open water 20 course here with my partner. Nico Martire was the best dive instructor ever. So calm and patient, extremely knowledgeable and very fun! He made the course easy and so enjoyable. Isabell and Armand were also fantastic. We were extremely lucky on our dive #3 to swim with a whale shark! After completing the course we wanted so badly to cancel the rest of our plans and stay to do our advance open water. Unfortunately we couldn’t but would 100% go back in a heart beat. RAID has all their material available online for free as well. Can’t recommend this dive shop enough! Thanks for everything

The Best Dive Center on Koh Tao - This is the best dive company on Koh Tao. I had the best time learning to dive with some of the best instructors. Ponxi was an amazing instructor for the Open Water 20 course, and then the amazing Camilla for the Advanced 30 course. They create such a warm and friendly atmosphere of learning.
I also had the chance to do several Fun Dives. The Dive Masters (Ben, Camilla, and Patrizia) and Dive Master in Training (Adam) were all fantastic to dive with and made the dives so fun in and out of the water.
I wish I would have found this 30 years ago.
La Bombona Diving in Koh Tao can help you feel comfortable trying something new, and will hopefully make you a lifelong fan like I am now.
Thank You. Thank You. Thank You.

Amazing 10/10 reccomend - Had the best experience and couldn’t recommend this course enough! George was an amazing instructor who got the whole group through each step with very knowledgable, fun and relaxed teaching skills. The entire company is filled with friendly and helpful staff which made it even more enjoyable from start to finish. If you come to Koh Tao you do not want to miss out on this experience of a lifetime!

Fantastic dive school - La Bombona is THE diving school to go to on Koh Tao. The owners and staff are all super friendly and you immediately feel like part of a big family when you take a class. All my instructors were fantastic but Camilla went far over and above to help me reach my full potential as a diver. Her technical skills, knowledge and teaching abilities are truly impressive. The equipment we were provided was super high quality and seemed brand new. I originally planned on taking only one class but loved this place so much I changed my travel plans and took every class I could. Thanks La Bombona!
