An amazing experience and a new start for adventure ! - I got my Open Water diver certification in Scuba Birds dive center thanks to Pino, an absolutely great instructor ! He had all the necessary patience, his explanations were crystal clear, he knew when to make me relax and to encourage me when needed, we had fun, he gave me many tips, told me many stories, showed me beautiful things underwater, that experience was only pleasure ! Thank you a hundred times, I can't wait for the next step of my life as a diver !

Best Padi Open Water in Koa Tao - Amazing experience. I highly recommend this place and our instructor was amazing. Group size was small and it was very personal. The training was in the ocean so although it’s only 4 logged dives it’s more like 6 including training dives. Doing training exercises next to beautiful fish and coral is much more enjoyable than a pool!

Great dive school and great teacher (Brian). - Very well organized, professional, but also friendly. Excellent training on the key PADI open water skills. Brian was an excellent and patient teacher. His coaching was key in bouyancy control along with many other skills. The 3 day course was a lot of fun while being infomative and educational. Highly recommend completing the online training before the 3 day course begins, which allows for some time to experience Koh Tao. My package included accommodation, which was clean and a short walk from the dive school and the pier. Very convenientand the people there were very friendly. There was no need to rent a scooter. However the accommodation is very basic bed and bathroom, think one level above hostel, so you may want to consider booking your own accommodation. Definitely recommend Brian as a trainer and Scuba Birds. Everyone was friendly and professional and helped in every way they could to make the experience very enjoyable and memorable.

Happy certified divers - We booked the 3 day Open Water Padi diving course and we are so happy we did! Our guide Natalia was very thorough, patient and encouraging. Instructions and exercises in the pool, on land and in the sea, under the water were very clear. Eventhough one of us suffered pain in the ears descending, with Natalias patient approach we were able to reach 18 meters with no pain in the end. She made sure we were safe at all times! Only downside was the first day in the pool having to share it with ~ 15 other people but we still managed to practise all the necessary skills 😊

Reignited the dive passion - I messaged the Whatsapp line to get information about the Advanced Open Water course. They responded promptly with instructions to the island and site. Easy. On the day of the course, I was met with Natalia. Excellent and knowledgeable instructor. From her lessons to briefs and de-briefs, she went above and beyond. When diving, it's always a memorable experience when you can enjoy every step of the process.

Open Water Diver - I had an amazing time with Scuba Birds doing my Open Water Diver course. This was my very first experience in scuba diving and my instructor Dominik was very patient and thorough while explaining the skills. Also this is by far the cheapest dive center on koh tao.
