Great half day try dive experience - 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 - 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.

A perfect first diving experience. - It was the first time for us. We had a short theory session of about 1 hour, then we dived in shallow water to gain confidence in our equipment. and then we did 2 dives. It was magnificent. Our guide was perfect. We loved our day. Plus they filmed us underwater so we have lasting memories. Thanks to the whole team.

A wonderful first experience - I did this first experience of scuba diving with my boyfriend and it was wonderful! We had a great moment and the staff was adorable. Especially Nelly, who was our instructor. She was very nice and she taught us very well. I strongly recommend this place (probably the cheapest on the Island) 😊

It's like in another world! - 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 - 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!

First time diving - I had an amazing first time diving! All instructions on how to use the equipment were very clear and I felt totally safe during the lesson. Everyone at Scuba Birds was very helpful and I would highly recommend them to anyone I know travelling to Koh Tao. Nelly was my instructor and she was the best!

Worst scuba diving experience! - Our instructor was Said, and we were with 4 persons as beginners. Idea was to have my 2 daugthers be well acquainted with scuba diving, but now they prefer snorkling instead of scuba diving which is a pity! Reason is that Said did not guide us well to start the instructions from the beach but directly jump in deep water on the rope in order not to loose time. Result is that we hang almost 30 mins on the rope, my daugthers had pain in their ears due to pressure and we had little time to actually do scuba diving. Next to that, we got always the instructions late on the boat while other groups were well informed and started earlier. We asked for photos and videos which Said did shoot, but shared only 3. When back from holidays, we went directly to the hospiltal to check the continuous pain of my daugthers ears. Result her ear drums are infected and damaged. Overall for us a bad experience!
