Fun dives at DPM Diving in Koh Tao are two-tank guided trips for certified divers (Open Water or above). Two boats run daily — a morning departure and an afternoon departure — giving flexibility to fit a dive day into wider plans on the island. Trip times shift slightly with weather conditions and the boat schedule, confirmed the day before the trip.
Each trip covers two dives at sites selected the day before based on wind, current and surface conditions. The DPM rotation around Koh Tao includes Twins, White Rock, Red Rock, Japanese Gardens and the HTMS Sattakut wreck, which sits between 18 and 30 metres — Open Water divers stay on the shallow section while Advanced Open Water divers can reach the lower structure. Chumphon Pinnacle and Sail Rock are on the rotation for longer trips and offer pinnacle diving with schooling reef fish along the granite formations.
The price of 2,100 THB per trip covers two dives with a professional dive guide and full dive equipment. A standard SSI medical questionnaire applies before any in-water activity. Deposits are non-refundable but reservations can be moved to a different date or another DPM location at no additional charge.
Divers who have been out of the water for more than a year should complete the Refresh programme before joining the regular fun dive rotation. Bookings via WhatsApp.
