Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- chrisbI5580VH0 contributionsTake the plungeWater temp was perfect , maybe slightly too warm. But a comfortable dive non the less. Vendors were knowledgeable and happy to help. Shop taxi picked us up from our accommodation which made transport very easy. Friendly staff and crew.Written June 4, 2024
- Cindy L0 contributionsAmazing tour companyEven though I used a different tour company, due to boat issue, the diving company I used have shared the boat with blue scuba. I eventually had the diving instructor Jane from Blue scuba as my diving buddy, she was amazing, really knows the marine animals and showed me all the beautiful fishes around sail rock Thank you Jane!!Written December 13, 2023
- W4676NPmichaelar0 contributionsOutstanding experienceMy first scuba Dive. My wonderful instructor Jannes made it an outstanding experience for me. His instructiions were absolut clear. The Dive was playful and joyful. I felt absolutely safe and guided all the time. He showed me a lot of different fish and on board he explained them with a book. But be careful. It is highly addictive and its possible you will plan the next diving course after that Thank you so much, Jannes for this heartfilling experience.🙏😘🙏Written November 4, 2023
- ruxintheworld0 contributionsSail Rock (Koh Tao)A really beautiful place for diving with so many beautiful fish and lovely corals. It is a very popular site for diving. A truly special place.Written September 12, 2023
- hannahjS5539IS0 contributionsAmazing experience!Such a good day, team were all really good and the instructor Lilly was amazing, made me feel so at ease in the water. Was feeling a bit nervous to try diving but as soon as I got there everything was explained so clearly and everyone was so friendly. Food was good too.Written September 2, 2023
- lisazF3097YL0 contributionsNice BUTNice tour (snorkeling in koh tao) but very unhelpful when the mask fell in the sea and they just stood there watching without helping. They charged us 1000 baht.Written August 20, 2023
- R8201MAnathaliel0 contributionsAmazing experienceMy family and I are just back from an amazing trip to Sail Rock as newly qualified Open Water Divers! Our instructor, Jannes was amazing and made the open water course a wonderful experience for us all. We all came to the course with different levels of confidence but with Jannes, we felt really calm and looked after. He is clearly so passionate about what he does and took extra care in engaging with the kids so that they felt enthusiastic and confident about everything! The whole team and crew were great to be around on the boat and couldn’t have wished for a better experience. Bucket list ✅Written August 18, 2023
- anonymousturtle73620 contributionsReally amazing staff and great groupings for advanced diversI did a bunch of fun dives at Sail Rock with this shop, and was so impressed with all of the staff at Asia Blue. Ash was an amazing divemaster who catered the dives to the experience level of the divers, found loads of amazing wildlife, was super attentive, and led us through really long dives which I appreciated a lot. Also a super fun person to dive with and so sweet! Storm was also super great to dive with, as he found loads of wildlife and we had super long dives as well. Lili, Olesya, Tom, the boat captain, and crew Miu and Ao were all such a pleasure on the boat as well and all so attentive and caring. The groupings by Jannes were also absolutely incredible. Divers are grouped by level, even if it means creating more groups. This says a lot about how much the staff here cares about the experience of the diver, regardless of how much extra time/cost it might take. I was always paired with other experienced divers in very small groups of 1 - 2, which was amazing. Asia Blue also now own one of the biggest and nicest boats on the island, which makes a difference on the hour long boat ride to Sail Rock which can sometimes be rocky. Breakfast (coffee, fruit, eggs, etc) and lunch (rice, curry, pasta, fruit, etc) was super nice to have on the boat.Written August 16, 2023
- tomerg6480 contributionsTwo thumbs up! 👍 👍Awesome Team, very professional.. It was an amazing experience - even picked me up from my hotel, Jannis was fantastic instructor! Thanks again for a great day!🙏😊Written August 7, 2023
- MandaMin0 contributionsSail Rock with Asia Blue is amazing!!We had some incredible days with Yannes and the whole Asia Blue team. We did the open water course without any experience and felt that we were in very good hands. Yannes had a lot of patience, always reassuring and praising us. We felt really safe and welcome! We even ended up adding a fun dive on the fly and would probably do more if we had more time. We would definitely recommend this dive school and would love to dive with them again sometime! Also, Sail Rock is amazing. We saw a lot of underwater life 🐠🐟🐡Written July 11, 2023
- Biffro0 contributionsMemorable divingThis was a brilliant trip and we really enjoyed it. Michaela in the dive centre was really helpful and responsive, and booked us on to the trip and arranged a pick up and drop off for us. The boat trip to and from the site was a bit choppy, but the boat was modern and comfortable, and the trip was well organised. The food was also really good and we appreciated some breakfast given the early start. Our dive master, Johannes, was fantastic. He was informative and passionate about diving and sea life, he was so attentive and we felt calm and safe with him. The diving was amazing and we saw shoals of barracudas, trevally, Queen fish and bat fish with so much more. There were so many anemones and soft coral at the second spot, and both sites were teeming with life. Sail Rock is an amazing dive site with so much to see and we would love to come back.Written June 25, 2023
