great diving center / excellent equipment / super nice people / awesome diving spots - Thanks Trent for making me feel safe again under water after a long time not diving. I had such a blast with you all. If you look for a small diving center on Koh Chang with such an outstanding service, excellent equipment und a great vibe, that‘s the place to go! Keep doing what you doing guys! Cheers Anica

Great company! - Such a great day with TOA! I’ve only recently got my open water cert, so am still very new and a little uncertain - but Bank was brilliant in making me feel very comfortable. Not to mention all the kit is new and super nice quality. Along with a lovely boat and good lunch too! Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend and will return :)

Recommend!! - Very good dive shop! Instructor is very nice professional, boat is very good, and equipments are very good too! Recommend to everyone!

Stop looking - you’ve found the right spot - The best diving experience ever! It was an absolute blast to spend the day with Trent, Mike, Bank and the rest of the crew on the boat! Great for beginners, the crew is fun, professional and considerate. Thank you guys for an incredible experience and looking after us yesterday! PS. Shoutout to Bank for being the coolest and the best instructor ever!

Spendid diving off Koh Chang - Thai Ocean Academy welcomed us as a family in the best possible way. Fun dives and snorkeling at excellent reefs. Convincing safety standards. Food and cold drinks on the boat were delicious and tourist friendly. Trent and his team were easy to communicate with and nice atmosphere. Even sent underwater pictures afterwards. Would recommend to all!

Great Dive Centre - Trent and his team were great, the whole experience from start to finish was excellent. Hotel pickup, the price, quality of rental equipment, the boat and even the food served were all top quality. Highly recommend

Thai Ocean Academy #1! - Completed my RAID Master Rescue course after many dives here at Thai Ocean Academy Koh Chang. The team here — Trent, Bank, Rick, Paul, Sue, Mike, and the infamous shop dog Moo — are the absolute best you can hope for (not to mention the world class dive sites). Superlative instruction and leadership, always a fun time on the boat, great gear and dive computers. Most importantly they take wonderful care of each their divers and students, ensuring safety and building them up to be excellent fun divers and professionals. Love you guys!! Thank you for everything ❤️🐠❤️

V - Staff is very friendly and easy to communicate with. I felt safe in every dive with these guys. Thank you!

Best teacher to learn and improve! - I did my Open water and my Advanced course with Trent. After seeing quite a few instructors till now, he still is the one caring the most. Caring about each one of us as it were a 'one on one' dive. Never ever would you feel uncomfortable or insecure with him. He is there for safety, professionalism and the greatest joy in this amazing underwater world. There is a huge difference to others, not only because of ⁴ things, it's also the best, newest and most up to date equipment you can get. Would definitely recommend the experience! Thank you Thai Ocean Academy!

Life-changing underwater experience - Koh Chang was an amazing experience. Today, we went diving with Trent, and his expertise was clear from the start. His clear and detailed briefing set the tone for the day. As we descended into the water, the initial discomfort of breathing through the regulator was quickly replaced by a sense of security. Trent's guidance was exceptional, and his patience in easing my apprehensions made the first dive truly fantastic. The second dive exceeded our expectations. We had become familiar with the equipment and smoothly glided through the water. Trent's dedication to ensuring our experience was unforgettable was amazing. We saw breathtaking underwater sights. Our heartfelt thanks go out to our outstanding instructor. From that first moment in the water, I never thought I'd feel so comfortable underwater. This was truly a life-changing experience, and I'm already planning my return for open water diving. Remarkably, Trent generously provided us with free underwater photographs to remember this unforgettable day.
