View on Google MapsWe had an excellent experience with Fernando, our instructor of the Advanced Open Water course, the course although it was in English, the fact that Fernando is Argentine helps a lot to clarify some technical terms to Spanish. He was very didactic, clear, motivated and professional throughout. Highly recommended!
SUPERB!!!! I was here in June for my AOW course with a great divemaster Efim. I was Very impressed with Scubabirds & wanted to learn more, so I returned & have just finished my courses & fun dives. My Nitrox and Deep Diver course were taken by Kwan. He is The Master Instructor with 25 years experience. His knowledge & tutoring was simply the best. My fun dives with Ami. What a lovely bloke, watchful eye, guidance, great to be with out of the water, very knowledgeable & well travelled, thanks mate. Also I'd like to thank, Joachim, Mick, Cameron. Fantastic learning experience, well priced, good equipment with -3 goggles 🙏, it's been a pleasure, thank you all so much. I hope to see you all again. The admin staff 🥂 Best wishes

Thanks to Scuba Birds and Mo. Mo was very professional and informative wanting me to be the best diver I can be. He was very passionate and empathetic especially as I was initially feeling nervous. I had a great time completing my advanced open water course and feel much more confident, although wish I had pictures to show but unfortunately I didn’t get any.
Had a fabulous time diving with Scuba Birds! Pino was great, very knowledgeable and helpful. Returned after doing my advance for some additional discovery dives which were really reasonably priced. Would highly recommend!
Amazing dive school! Anatoly was a very friendly, informative and fun instructor and made me feel very at ease throughout the Open Water Advanced course. Very good value for money and would highly recommend this course and dive school to anyone :)
Vishal was an exceptional dive instructor with Scuba Birds. I was a little nervous initially but he quickly put me at ease and taught the course information clearly & built my skills over the 5 dives
We had already contacted the base from Germany. Since we had planned our vacation on Kho Samui, we booked the course, accommodation and transfer right from the base - so all-round carefree package. Everything worked out great. Contact via WhatsApp, transfer by catamaran incl. Hotel pickup, great. From the pier to the base it is a small walk. Since we had our own equipment, it was a bit exhausting. At the base, we were already expected. The writing was done quickly, and we got to know our diving instructor Efim right away. There were three of us in the AOWD group and no time was wasted. Short to the accommodation (simple but clean and tidy and very close) and off we went to the boat. There were three dives (incl. night dive). Efim took a lot of time, watched us, gave tips and improved us consistently. You feel completely safe. Kho Tao is not necessarily a beautiful, colorful diving area, but there are many diving schools here and therefore many divers. Some keep it very casual with swimwear and wild back and forth. Scuba Birds looks different. The equipment is fine, the boats not very big, but the groups disembark so that you don't get in the way. The AOWD consists of 5 dives and the theory that you have to buffalo independently. But it's easy to do. You cannot choose the dives freely, two are fixed anyway. The practice was done very quickly and after completing the theory it only took us a day to get our certification. All in all, it was a nice and educational time for us. Thanks again to the entire base, the crew and especially to Efim.
A big thanks to Damian and Scuba Birds for two amazing days and 5 amazing dives. I highly recommend Scuba Birds and ask for Damian, we couldn’t have asked for a better instructor. He’s so much and fun and so patient, he made us all feel super comfortable and secure. Over all, two amazing days.
I had a fantastic 2 days diving with Scuba Birds. I wasn’t exactly sure which dive school to choose on the island but after a recommendation from a friend I decided to try them out. They were well worth it! Very professional team and instructor Nelly comes highly recommended. She made me feel comfortable in the water and also helped out wherever necessary whilst teaching me a lot on the go too. I’ll happily be returning to scuba birds in the future for some fun dives when I come back to Koh Tao
Scuba Birds is a great outfit. Communications and coordination leading up to our arrival could not have been better. Dominik was our instructor for our 2-day advanced course. He was a superstar! Professional, highly competent, and a lot of fun!
