★ 5 · Marte L. · 2026-05-04We had an absolutely amazing stay at this dive resort in April and can recommend it wholeheartedly. The location is amazing, set in a beautiful and peaceful bay, far away from the busier and more crowded parts of Koh Tao. It’s perfect if you’re looking for a calm, relaxed atmosphere, very much that “dive and yoga” vibe. From the moment we arrived, everything was really well organized and professional. We were picked up at the pier, helped with our luggage, and welcomed so warmly when we arrived that it honestly felt like they had been expecting us. The whole team made us feel genuinely cared for from start to finish, thank you! The dive center is fantastic. I did my Open Water course while my partner did fun dives and Assava did a great job coordinating everything so we could still dive together. The staff were very professional, friendly, and attentive throughout! A special shoutout to Arnau, who was an outstanding instructor :) Very calm, pedagogical, and great at explaining everything step by step. He made me feel safe and confident throughout the course. The atmosphere at the resort is exactly what you want when diving; peaceful in the evenings, making it easy to rest and recharge for early mornings. At the same time, it is easy to get to the more lively parts of Koh Tao if you want a bit more energy, just a short taxi ride away. The restaurant was also nice, with delicious food like smoothie bowls, avocado toast, great coffee, and good thai dishes. The only small downside was that the bathroom had a slight musty smell and some mold in the shower, which seems quite common in Thailand. However, the staff were very responsive and offered to change our room, which we really appreciated. Overall, this was a 10 out of 10 experience. If you are looking for a professional dive center in a calm, beautiful setting with a welcoming team, this place is absolutely perfect!
