          First time diving
          Three day dive course in Koh Tao with a ‘buddy’ and the instructor (Efim). Very easy to understand him and a great teacher, made the diving very relaxed and fun, would definitely recommend. Set up perfectly now if I want to continue diving again in the future.

          Best place to start your dive journey
          My first dive trip was perfect all thanks to Scuba Birds. The team was very helpful to coordinate the courses. The class was kept small so I felt very safe and well informed of all the skills that are required. My instructor Elena was very experienced and guided me well throughout the course. I definitely highly recommend Scuba Birds and I hope to do my advance course with them when I’m back in Koh Tao!

          Great Diving School
          Recently did my Padi Open Water Certification and the Discover Scuba Diving Course at the Scuba Birds. The staff and instructors were top notch and i felt safe the whole duration of the course (i’am not a water person). I highly recommend this school !

          Fantastic time for family getting open water cert together
          Our family of four (2 teens) got our open water cert with scuba birds. It was amazing. Our instructor Kray was perfect. He made learning the material fun and engaging. He was extremely knowledgeable. When one of us had a problem he made sure that everyone was confident to move forward before progressing. It’s nice to know you’ve got someone you can trust leading you into the depths of the abyss! Our training was very reasonably priced. We got the package with transfer from koh samui, accommodation and open water cert all from subs birds. If I were to do it again, I’d get the cert from scuba birds, but arrange my own accommodation. The hotel was very rustic. The bungalow looks like it’s going to be washed down the hill in the next heavy rain. Get a room in a hotel near the pier and you’ll be good to go. Overall, we had a fantastic experience. Ask for Kray, and you’ll be good to go.

          Professional and friendly
          We took a refresher course and 2 fun dives with Dominik and loved it. Dominik is highly professional, calm, and detailed oriented. He made us feel at ease and safe. I'd highly recommend Dominik as an instructor and Scuba Birds in general

          Good tour
          We take a tour for beginners (no license) with two dives. The first dive was introductory to 5-6m max. Instructors are really good, very professional and patient. The second dive was of longer duration to 12m depth. Before the dive the rout was explained on the map and a booklet given with the list of fish can possible be met on our way (unfortunately we've not seen most of the listed). Instructors lead us througout the dive, but were not preventing us to stop on a single location for longer if we noticed something interesting. Regarding cons: (1) two dive locations are very close and the first dive leaves an impression of an incomplete diving session (just swimming back to your boat from the beach). (2) water was muddy and you need to come closer to see an object (might be a weather issue cause there were some waves)

          Great experience
          I chose the make my Advanced Open Water here because Scuba Birds, unlike many other diving centers I informed me right away that the visibility was not so good when I came and adviced me to wait a few days, they didn't try to start the course right away, which I find is very honest. So I decided to make the course with them and this was the best decision ever. My instructor, Zlata, was awesome, professional and friendly, took a great deal of time to explain the theory before the dives. As a result, I could not only have fun, but improved my skills. Don't hesitate, it is surely one of the best centers in Koh Tao.

          Great Experiance
          Have literally just dived here today and what a lovely time we had! Took on the introduction dive and fully plan on a 2 day course at some point. Dima was great at organising everything over whattsapp, very efficient! Our instructor Zaeed was excellent, very patience and made sure we were safe. Will be back again! Tom

          Family Friendly
          Scuba birds was fantastic. We took our two children, 13 and 10 (already certified) for a fun dive off Koh Tao. The staff were extremely professional, safety oriented and child friendly. The dives were extremely well managed, inspiring confidence in us as parents that we were in good hands. Highly recommended!

          Would recommend it
          Koh tao is a beautiful place for scuba and that’s where we were taken. It was a beautiful sunny day. The PADI instructors guided us before our dive as it was our first. Dmitry was really co operative and took care of us the entire time even when we were scared in the beginning , thank you so much dmitry. Also they offered us a reasonable price.
