The Dive Academy

Goo experience and good tour. Daniel is really a goo coach! Will go diving again if come back to Koh Samui!

Moe (snorkelling instructor) and Eli (Dive Instructor) were both fantastic and were patient, informative and diligent. It was a fun day with varied diving and snorkelling experiences. Eli was great and accommodating especially with making sure we were equalised and buoyant throughout. Thank you for a great trip and experience!

Cheers to instructor Eli for her great teaching and flawless enthusiasm throughout both OWD and AOWD certifications. Thank you, and thanks to the whole team for making those few days of diving memorable

I did the discovery dive as I do not have my license (but my friends did) and wanted to experience what diving is like. It was a 1: 1 session with Remmy and was incredible! He was patient and walked me through everything on land, and then again in the water. I was a bit nervous but with his calmness in the water, it really relaxed me! The first dive but a bit scary at the beginning since it was my first time but I already felt super comfortable for the second dive! I now want to do my diving license! Great option if you want to know if you’ll love it plus get a good knowledge base.

10/10 would recommend! I did my open water dives through this company and the whole process was extremely smooth!

Did a pool dive with them on one day and 2 days of open water dives!
Huge shout out for both Laurens and Clive. Thanks for everything! We had a blast!

Had a great dive at sail rock with Dive Academy. Professional dive company, good dive instructors. They took good care of us in and out of the water.

Unfortunately the equipment provided is a bit old and needs better maintenance. Both of the masks provided to me leaked (poor seals, worn out) so I spent my entire two dives clearing my masks. For the few moments it didn't leak, I really enjoyed the dive.

Bring your own basic dive gear to be safe. Hopefully as business picks up, they can refurbish the old equipment.

Dive Academy was simply amazing! Can not go wrong by going with them for any course or dives. I learned so much from my instructor Simon after completing my online course from PADI and had a blast with Jon on my last dive in koh samui. I just want to thank them again for making koh samui a truly memorable experience.

Wonderful day diving me and the kids! Guys! Was great, relaxed, and make our dive beautiful. Will go back any day.
Merci Andre, Felix, Sanna

Had a great time diving with these guys. Yana my instructor was great and super patient for a beginner like me.

Be sure to check these guys out if you are heading to Koh Samui.

The dive master (French guy but his Chinese name is Yi Tian) constantly looks out for us (in a group of 4) despite our inexperiences as we haven’t dived in such a long period of time due to covid, making us feel safe and well looked after at all times. Grateful for the dives to Koh Tao and sail rock and we were lucky to see a whale shark

Everything Top Notch professional Group Dive Instructors.

Highly recommend

Super.

Fantastic experience doing my open water dive course with these guys!
Friendly, patient and great diving!
Would recommend to anyone!

Took us to some great dives very friendly and helpful and sorts dives out even when the weather was against us. Value for money is also good, 2 dives boat trip to Koh Tao lunch and drinks included as well as pick up from resort. It's not easy right now with covid and cancellations but they delivered for us!

I recently received my PADI Open Water certification from The Dive Academy Koh Samui. The owners were extremely helpful in planning my certification (remotely during COVID) and my instructor, Matt, was great at working to get the dives planned even though it was low season in Samui. Safety was a priority and I really appreciate the service and assistance provided and definitely recommend the Dive Academy to anyone wanting to dive or learn to dive while in Samui.

I had the chance to go diving with Dive Academy early September with Lin, the Chinese instructor. She truly made everything in her power to make my diving experience wonderful, such a diving enthusiast! Visibility was great, staff was nice and not too pushy, I definitely recommend it. Matt was also available to answer my questions when I arrived in Samui. I will definitely get in touch with them again when I will be back.

I got my open water diver certificate with Samira. She was very friendly, calm and informative throughout the course. I would highly recommend The Dive Academy as they provided pretty good equipments and excellent services. They were up to PADI standard. I felt totally safe during the dive as the instructors were also certified rescue divers. It was totally worth it

I have made 2 fun dives in Sail Rock, koh tao. The team is very professional, friendly and multi language speaking (German, French and English. The boat and the diving material was very good. Special tanks to Matt who was very cool. He helped me refreshing my diving skills and we did 2 nice dives. The visibility was not very good because the sea was a bit unstable but we saw a lot of nice species of fish.coloured fish and barracuda s in pinnacle area. I recommend this professional company & team to dive in Samui!

This is the place to go if you want professional staff. Really friendly and services minded.
Multi language and you can really tell that these instructors love what they are doing.
Perfect for beginners aswell for experienced people.

Exteremely well organised. There was no messing about it the morning before we left. Lovely boat and crew.
Very experienced dive masters and in small groups made for great day out.
Lunch was amazing and plenty of it.
Only thing was the poor visibility on our dives for the day

Very efficient and safe service. Great diving.

Negative point: Rushing all morning from beginning to the end.
