I found them with luck thanks to the friend of a friend. You’re looking for a friendly, familial, yet ultra professional and skilled team to take you diving on Koh Tao? At the best price in the island + in the world? Stop looking, this is the place. If you’re still learning, from Open Water to Dive Master, they’ll make... More

We did our Open Water Certification with New Way Diving in late February and really enjoyed ourselves. The class sizes were small (4 to a group with no exceptions) which meant that you got lots of attention from your instructor. This is something to be said since while observing the other dive shops in the water, you can see their... More

I recently completed my advanced open water with New Way and I found them to be very professional, value for money and above all fun and great times! The crew were very helpful with everything from diving to helping organize further travels through Thailand. The sites they chose for us to dive each day were always awesome but flexible to... More

I did my Open Water, Advanced Open water and Deep Dive Specialty with those guys. Great atmosphere, small groups of four persons and the most important thing was the diving time. Always the first crew at the dive site in the morning. When we use to leave the other boats use to come. No bubbles, no divers and noise from... More

I'd had a really frightening introduction to diving with a school in Borneo a year before I came to New Way. I wanted to get my certificate but I knew I was gonna need a good deal of patience while trying to push past old memories and fears of diving, breathing underwater, sea creatures etc. New way were so kind...

There are a lot of dive shops in Koh Tao. A LOT. I visited a few dive shops before choosing New Way Diving. I had a good feeling/vibe about the place and the people so I decided to give it a try and booked 4 fun dives. Well, ended up doing more than 4 dives + did my Adventure Deep... More

The first thing you notice upon arrival in koh tao is that the place is saturated in dive joints. It is hard draw distinction between them given their proximity, the abundance of uber-lax expats turned diving aficionados, and the fact that they often all dive at the same reef on the same day. However, New Way, as it's name suggests,... More

I did my open water and some adventure dives with Anna and David at New Way. The place is awesome: small classes (max 4, when other schools are doing 12!), über-friendly staff and management (owner Pi Pan and manager Jim are great fun), and early morning departures guarantee you arrive at the dive spots before the hoards! Highly recommended. More

Just because these guys offer a competitive rate doesn't mean they cut corners. The training is thorough and practical, the (multilingual) staff are friendly and approachable with students and staff matched appropriately. Groups are kept small. Equipment is good. Accommodation offered was comfortable and clean. Have several dive times per day accessing all available dive sights frequently. Overall a very... More
