Wife and I hired their diving services. She’s doing her Open Water +30 certification and so far is loving it, her instructor Leah is kind, patient, and very informative! I’ve been doing fun dives with Ryan who has been a stellar dive buddy and guide through the wonderful Koh Tao dive spots. Can’t speak to the rooms as we’re staying elsewhere, but this dive company is one of a kind.

Hicimos las dos inmersiones del bautizo con Pedro y no pudimos tomar una mejor decisión. Fue muy comunicativo con todo el grupo y siempre estuvo dispuesto a ayudar con cualquier duda o problema, además pudimos ver una gran variedad de especies y el tiempo se nos pasó volando.

Lo recomendaría al 100% para cualquiera que quiera iniciarse en el mundo del buceo o probar una nueva experiencia.

Después de 7 años sin bucear, hice un refresh con Nati y me gustó tanto que acabé haciendo el Advanced. Nati explica todo con mucha paciencia, transmite mucha seguridad y es muy divertida. Es una instructora de 10, súper profesional, la recomiendo mucho!!

What a fantastic experience!

My boyfriend and I completed our Open Water certification at DPM and had the best time. We had no prior scuba diving experience (apart from a baptism dive), but after reading great reviews and hearing from a friend we decided to do our course with them…and we’re so glad we did.

Our instructor, Joaco, helped us feel confident and calm underwater from the start. He was patient, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience really enjoyable. His knowledge of marine species also made the dives even more interesting.

We were also joined by dive master Judith on our dives, helping with the exercises and making sure everyone felt safe and comfortable.

Thanks to them, we even decided to do our 30m Deep Dive certification while we were there.

Overall, an amazing introduction to scuba diving. We’d absolutely recommend DPM!

Gracias ☺️
