There are almost a lot very good rewievs, so I will just Focus on my personal experience! For me it was the first SCUBA diving and I'm sure it won't be the last. I had an instructor for myself, who was absolutely professionel but also relaxed, so that you feel safe all the time. We went to sail rock and... More

Made 6 dives with them on April,2013. Everything was just perfect: guides, equipment, boat staff and the boat itself. They have the most comfortable boat comparing to other dive operators. Plenty of space to sit and relax or to have a sun bath. They always were the first in the morning who arrive to popular dive spots, this gives you... More

We spend our holiday on Koh Phangan this year. Finally after years that we had been wanting to get our diving license we went on a Discover Scuba Diving Day with Haad Yao Divers. I compared deals, but Haad Yao was right next to our guest house and although the pricing was slightly higher than other operators, we picked Haad... More

Quality, clean equipement (even prescription masks!). The y have their own boat with loads of places to sit and kick back. Food is very tasty and more than just a sandwich like on other boats. Divemaster take good care and know their way around - pointing out everything you need/want to see. Service level very good, felt very safe. They... More

I've now been diving with Haad Yao divers for three years and cannot recommend them highly enough. Nick and Vladi are both amazing instructors. They may be more expensive than some of the other dive companies around the island however you get what you pay for and I would never consider diving with anyone else. The instructors are awesome as... More

As first time divers, we did a oneday trip at Sail Rock and enjoyed so much. Everything is very well organised. The staff in the offices was so helpful and friendly for one. Nick, our instructor, was amazing: very professional, always reassuring and up for a joke as well. Everything you would expect but even better! First dive is a... More

They were right at the end of the driveway leading to the bungalows I was staying in so we stopped in to see them. I was scuba diving and my buddy was snorkeling. Everything about the day trip was great. I had been in nine years but my DM's Ivan and Nick were great at getting me back up to... More

They are probably one of the most professional outfits on Koh Phangan. Groups were small and the DMs were very available. I dove with them for 2 days and felt very comfortable with their operation. Big round of applause to Rada and Ivan who were my DMs. Koh Phangan is not really close to any of the big dive sites,... More

Most schools in Koh Phangan expect an advance payment when you book. I didnt want to cause my trip was fickle. These people are very accommodating to your constraints. I couldnt complete my course here due to bad weather and a bad case of nerves....but I want to just mention my instructor Nick here. He was amazingly patient and encouraging... More

About the quality of the diving courses I cannot say anything because I did not do any course their but I had one really negative experience with this company. I was at Sail Rock with another diving center and when we went into the water (our boat was next to the Haad Yao Divers Boat) we where treated in a... More
