View on Google MapsI had an amazing experience getting my Open Water certification here! From start to finish, everything was perfect—the facilities, the dive school, and the hostel made it an easy and enjoyable experience. The entire staff was professional, friendly, and always ready to help, I had to do some changes and they have been flexible and helpful ❤️ But the real star of my experience was my instructor, Natasha ☀️ She was incredibly supportive, patient, and knowledgeable, making me feel safe and confident underwater at all times. She explained everything clearly, always checked in on how I was feeling, and made sure I truly understood every step of the way. Her passion for diving is contagious, and I couldn’t have asked for a better instructor! If you’re thinking about diving, I 100% recommend this school, and if you can, ask for Natasha—she’s the best! 🤿
I booked it as a last minute option for my open water course. The communication was great from the start, George replied super quick to my queries. Tomas was helping me to register a day before I started the course, he was super nice and helpful. My instructor was Esna, she was very helpful from the beginning to the end. If I had any questions she took her time and patience to guide me. I can say that I feel way more confident now underwater and looking forward to continuing my diving journey. Dpm is a great place to do your diving courses. I cannot recommend enough. Fantastic team! Everyone is welcoming! Thank you for everyone!

Open water 30 and the advanced course! What can I say, DPM felt like a family the second I arrived, George and Anna were so welcoming and friendly and helped me out with everything including accommodation and sorting out my courses and answering any questions I had. My open water 30 course with Colo was amazing he is a great teacher and honestly he has made me want to pursue a career in diving. He was patient and explained everything fully and ensured everyone was okay and safe at 30 m down. My advanced course was done by Sergi and he was great he helped me learn my buoyancy and how to navigate under water, he took me on 2 wreck dives and a night dive and he made sure to show everyone all of the different marine life, I was lucky enough to see an eel, octopus, hermit crab, some huge puffer fish, and a grouper that probably could have fit me inside it x2. Not only the courses were great, the social side of DPM is what makes it stand out. I had met people on the boat that were doing dive masters and ended up spending most of my time with them to even going to a meal with all of the DPM staff. 10/10 would recommend and I will be going back in a few months to complete my dive masters and maybe the instructor course with them!
The best diving place in Koh Tao! Very personal and the best instructors! Massive thanks to Jess and Tyler! Both of were fantastic! Couldn’t recommend enough!
I dove with Jony and Mind. We had an amazing time! I met other solo divers, it was super easy to socialize. I felt super safe and comfortable with the diving equipment. Luckily, I had a few extra days and got my advanced diving certification too! I would look into staying at the DPM hostel as well.
I did the Open Water fast track because I didn’t have time for the 3 days. In the end I found myself in private lessons with Irina. It was great. Irina is very pedagogical, very attentive and attentive. I assimilated all the knowledge she gave me and we really had a great time. Little downside: I wrote on WhatsApp to DPM, I had an answer until we talked about price after radio silence. Too bad a simple answer "the price is fixed" would have been enough. Thanks again Irina and I hope to see you soon to dive together again 😉 Kisses Marie
My experience with DPM Koh Tao as a first time diver could not have been more positive. I completed my open water and advanced in 5 days and only wish I could have done more! Joaco and Jessy were incredible, they were so supportive and reassuring throughout, and made the experience so enjoyable. The dives were all fantastic, and my whole group have now come out with a true passion for all things diving! Special mention to Ethan as well for taking us on a brilliant night dive. I already have plans to revisit DPM Koh Tao in the near future to complete my master training, and to bring others who want to start their diving career! If you’re looking to dive in Koh Tao, DPM is without a doubt your best option.
NINO is a teacher, I feel very grateful for his patience, his dedication, his pedagogy. Me a lawyer locked in an office and papers, afraid of the sea, and depth, after this open with NINO simply a 180 turn. I'll go back to the next level. RECOMMENDED 100%
It was a fantastic experience my instructors were really easy to talk to and super friendly, I was nervous about my ear pressure going into the course but they were very attentive and I completed my course. Really enjoyed the diced especially the last one that was where we saw the most corals and fish 🐠. Highly recommend
Great instructors, where safety comes first. Started doing an open water certification with DPM and stayed on an extra couple of days to complete the advanced course I couldnt fault the staff especially my two instructors Pat and Jony for making me feel welcome and, above all safe when out on the water. Taken through core skills for diving at the beginning of the week and ended with a 30m dive to a submerged war ship. Very friendly atmosphere throughout the centre and affordable logdings for those who like dormitory life. If you come to Koh Tao you have to try diving and I would recommend DPM 100%, even it's just for a fun day out. You never know you may end up as an instructor in a year's time.
