The Dearly Dive Koh Tao offers PADI certified courses from Open Water and Advanced Open Water to Rescue Diver and Divemaster. If you're not looking to get a certification, you can also try the Discover Scuba Diving program. With the in-house swimming pool, you can complete the initial training and get comfortable with the scuba gear on-site before heading to the ocean. If you are already certified, we can also take you out on fun dives and explore over 20 diving sites around the island.
At The Dearly Dive, we don't just offer diving; we provide the gateway to a lifetime of incredible memories. The underwater world of Koh Tao is waiting for you, and we're here to make sure your experience is nothing short of extraordinary. The island has the ideal environment for learning scuba diving. With high visibility, mostly calm water, and warm temperatures all year round, it is perfect for beginners to start their course.
