Koh Tao 2-Dive Day Trip from Koh Samui for certified divers
Description
Divers must have a certification for this trip. Divers without certification must book Discover Scuba Diving Koh Tao is an island just north of Koh Samui and is an excellent choice for the variety of dive sites there. From shallow, rocky sites to huge pinnacles, and a wide array of hard and soft corals, not to mention an abundance of marine life, there really is something for everyone. Your day will start with us picking you up at your hotel approximately 7:00 am. We will take you to the pier where you can enjoy some light breakfast and coffee/tea and meet Discovery Divers Team. The boat will leave the pier at 8:00 am. It takes approximately 80 minutes to reach Koh Tao by speedboat. Upon completion of the second dive the boat will return to Koh Samui, and you will be back at your resort around 3:30 pm.

Koh Tao is an excellent choice for beginners and experienced divers alike. There are about 12 different dive sites that we generally visit and which dive sites we do on a particular day will depend on the prevailing weather and dive conditions. Among dive sites available are Chumphon Pinnacle, Mango Bay, Shark Island, Twin Rocks, Japanese Gardens, as well as others. Generally we depart from our pier about 8:50 and return to the pier about 16:00. This tour is available for certified divers, and snorkelers also. All trips are taken our own Discovery Divers speedboats and include all equipment.

General a good organisation of the trip. Staffs and necessary equipment in a really good condition nothing to complain!
Thank you for the review. We pride ourselves on making sure we have top-of-the-range equipment and our highly experienced staff. We hope to see you back again.
I went on another couple of dives with Discovery Divers and had another great experience. They have the best equipment, great dive guides (Filip, Pierre and Nai) and you will have a great day and experience with them. Fantastic communication with timely hotel pick up, pre dive orientation and post dive review to keep your dive log book up to date. They take you to great dive sites. I will be back diving with them in December!
Thank you so much Garrett. We are so happy you enjoyed your first true "fun dives" after doing your Open Water Course and we are thrilled you got to experience the best our team and dive sites have to offer. Our staff has been doing this for a long time, and it goes to show that it doesn't matter who you are buddied with, you will have a great day regardless. SEA you in December!
My son and I had truly great time with Tom, our Thai guide, who is a superb diver. The Discovery operation is relaxed and really friendly, yet truly professional. Highly recommended. A fast boat and good lunch. What's not to like.
Thank you for the great review, Charles. After 26 years, we have perfected the ultimate blend of fun, friendly, safe, and organised. We appreciate you highlighting these points and recognising this too. We can't wait to see you both back again!
Fantastic trip even if the water was a bit undulating. Lola was a fantastic instructor who exuded a really good mood and had a lot of patience.
Thank you for the review
We had Sami as our dive master today, and she was absolutely outstanding! She guided us to all the special spots in the coral reefs and showed us a variety of beautiful fish. She explained all the steps very carefully, making us feel at ease throughout the experience. We had an amazing time, and they also catered to our dietary needs. A special thanks to OT, who took fantastic pictures and sent us a video of our dives. Thank you, OT!
Thank you for the review Monica. We are glad you enjoyed your time with Sam and OT. We hope to see you again
After my first diving experience in Phuket back in 2007, returning to the waters around Koh Samui was nothing short of amazing. We completed two dives with Discovery Divers and were so impressed that we immediately booked a Sail Rock dive trip with the same instructor. We felt incredibly lucky to have the entire boat to ourselves, along with just one other diver, which made for a truly personalized and relaxed outing. Our dive guide, Otilio, was professional, knowledgeable, and made us feel completely at ease. A big shoutout also goes to Samira, the deck master, who was equally attentive and helpful throughout the trip. The quality of service, attention to safety, and the warmth of the staff are exactly why we booked another two dives. We hope to return one day for more underwater adventures. Huge credit to the entire Discovery Divers team and their management. Keep up the excellent work!
Thank you for the nice review. We have a policy of not canceling trips if we have bookings, so you were very lucky that we had a very light boat that day. We are glad you enjoyed diving with OT and Sam.
Despite the sullen weather (rain, current, waves), the exit was great. The organization is top, everything is planned, the meal is very good, the supervisors were very friendly and come from all walks of life. Serious and responsible center. I highly recommend it. Many thanks to Samira for her support!
Thank you for your review
The instructors were amazing. I am a beginner diver they made me feel very comfortable and were extremely patient with me. They made the dive a lot of fun! I would definitely go on another dive with them! Wonderful experience all the way around!
Very well run and organised event. The staff was prompt in answering questions via email. The dive briefings were good. The gear in good condition. Experienced dive leads. Recommended.
Thank you very much for the nice review
I had a great experience in the Koh Tao dives. We did two boat dives. There was people from all certification levels from master divers and experienced divers to novices to first time divers. Everyone had a great time and the dives were all safe. We saw an amazing amount of fish, coral, and a ray! Padi certified location. I also got to rent an underwater camera and took a bunch of photos. They have many options for photo opps from a camera rental to a private photographer. We had a great lunch on the boat and soft drinks and water were provided throughout the trip.
Thank you for the nice review. As we have 13 full-time instructors, we are able to break down the dive groups in to small groups by experience levels and provide great dives for all dive levels. We are glad you enjoyed your time with us
