Highlights
- Bang Bao Plaza - We wish to introduce you to the wonderful world of Scuba Diving. Many of those who try it go on to become certified divers. Our experience begins with a (1 hour) pool session the morning or afternoon before the main activity in order to introduce you to the equipment, breathing underwater, complete a simple safety drill and receive some tips on how to move in the water. For those that may be a little more nervous than others, we find it the best way to produce a great experience.
The dive day in the open water will be two dives to a maximum of 12 metres on our local coral reefs. No promises about sightings of particular marine life, but a promise that you will see a lot of fish and coral.
The experience will be registered with PADI as your first steps to an Open Water Certificate whether with us or another PADI centre.

One of the best dive experiences we have had! - We had an amazing experience with our guide Adam! He’s a funny guy and we felt very taken care of, super professional! This dive shop really keeps things personal and the grouos are small - on the first day we were just the three of us. We had the fresh up before, so we would feel safe and easy during the rest of the dives. The boat is great, the food is delicious. The dive sites are very beautiful - nice reefs and an impressive wreck for a deep dive. This was one of the best dive experiences we have ever had - we even saw a whale ub on the second dive! The shop also offers attractive packages. THANK YOU for the glorious experience, Koh Chang divers!
Definitely recommend!

Brilliant experience and team to get PADI certified with - and beautiful diving - Such a positive experience with Koh Chang Divers! My family got our PADI open water qualifications over three days- David took us through the day in the pool and then on six dives over the following two days. He dealt with us extremely professionally as a group, patiently taking into account and managing our different needs and abilities. The course was thorough and we all felt very reassured throughout. The diving itself was beautiful - both the reef and the wreck dives were spectacular. Looking forward to coming back!!

Excellent day together with entire family - Great staff. Well educated and experienced personnel. Professional set up. Security minded. I was diving and I could bring my family on the same boat and they could do snorkelling while I was diving.

The best experience! - We got our padi open water diving course with David. It was a very nice experience. David puts you at ease, explains everything calmly and takes you into the underwater world. Despite the rain, David made the best of it for us, so we learned to dive and eventually saw the beautiful underwater world. If you want to dive on Koh Chang, definitely go here!

A wonderful immersion into the sea world - This was a wonderful experience. We took a full day trip into the national park Ko Yak Lek, where we visited three islands and had a change to scuba dive 3 times. The instructor was great and showed us lovely see life with beautiful coral reefs. The water was clear and we managed to see many different fishes. We had lunch and a snack on the boat and the crew was very friendly and helpful. Special thanks to Charles, who was my husbands diving instructor and who took great care of him. My husband was delighted with his diving experience.

Diving Marine Park & Wreck - We had a very nice dive experience with Koh Chang Divers. The Staff was awesome and the Divesites definitely worth to visit. We went to the Marine Park on our first trip and down to the wreck and around Hin Raab the second day. We enjoyed it so much diving with you guys. And we were impressed by the cool and respectful way Marcus was leading the group. The food was another Highlight. Prices very reasonable… go with them and find out… all the best to you guys!

Breathtaking experience! - I had an amazing experience with Koh Chang Divers. I had Dave as my Dive Master and buddy. It was my first dive since my getting my open water certificate. I always felt like I was en very good and safe hands. The entire boat crew was really nice and we had an amazing dive by the HTMS Chang ship wreck. It was a super breathtaking experience. Thanks for everything!

Time of my life - This was probably one of the best experiences I've ever had in my life. David was patient with me as it took a minute to become comfortable in the water. But once I was good the rest of the time diving was awesome. This was a very personal experience and not a huge commercial operation which many diving places can be. I highly recommend coming here if you are interested in learning to dive or just want a great time diving.

Fenomenal dive experience! - We are lucky that we choose Koh Chang Divers for my Adanced Open Water Diver and for my girlfriends fun dives. The dive spots were beautiful, especially the wreck dive. It was a nice and warm welcome from David and Markus and from the rest of the Team. Our instructor was David and on this point we say thank you to you David for the great time.
If you want to dive at Koh Chang, go to Koh Chang Divers!
