Pimp My Dive is run by a great couple, Aude & Olivier, both with worldwide diving experience. They offer a high quality service with a more private aspect to it. Classes are held with 1 instructor per 2 students which offers a pretty much tailored course and you will get all the attention you deserve to become an able and confident diver.
They operate from Mae Haad close to the main Pier and use some of the most comfortable boats available on the island!
Their equipment is spotless and so is their shop which shows their attention for detail.
I would highly recommend Pimp My Dive if you are a beginner looking for a comfortable and close to tailor made classes or if you are a seasoned diver and are looking for some serious and professional, yet fun people to guide you on the best dive sites around Koh Tao! And you can always increase your specs with them too :D

I dived with Aude and Olivier this weekend. I can't thank them enough for how accommodating and nice they were. We had a lot of beginners in our group and even a non swimmer. They dealt with the situation like the pros they are, making sure everyone felt safe, confortable and confident before going into the water and once in the water. My friends had the best time and all want to pass their open water now!
We wanted to do different things and ended up with a day tailored to our specific needs. Think of prioritizing a smaller scuba club like pimp my dive if you want a personalized approach instead of a big shop where you'll just be one more tourist in the mass.
Knowledgeable, funny, safe, fluent in English and French, I will definitely dive with them again whenever I get back to koh Tao.
Merci encore Aude et Olivier, à bientôt j'espère 🐠 !

Five stars for Aude, Olivier and Dada. They made our diving vacation an absolute success. As a father I completely trusted Aude with both my teenage sons while they did their Open water. Olivier was superb when taking my 9 year old on the Bubblemakker dive, he loved the dive. And for the Refresh course, both I and my wife felt in very comfortable. I rarely meet instructors that are so professional, so calm and so friendly, they are special people. They humbly say that their English is OK, their English is great. I can only give Aude and Olivier the highest recommendation. Maybe I (our family) will be lucky enough to come back and enjoy their company. It has truly been a pleasure! Merci beaucoup!

Excellent instructors and with small groups you get all the benefit of their experience, stories & guidance. From being a complete novice, who was relatively nervous on the first dive, to having genuine confidence when stepping in to the water at the end of the open water course. Highly recommended to anyone interested in learning how to dive.

I would really recommend this diving school on Koh Tao! We did the PADI open water course, and it was our first time diving. I really liked that the groups are very small (2 persons) ans that the course takes 4 days. Because you take it slow and have a lot of attention you can learn really fast! The people of the diving school are very friendly and they will help you with everything. Also the boat is really nice! The dive spots are very awesome.
Special thanks to our teacher: Gabriël! He was the best teacher :). He can explain everything very well and is very patient. Also when you feel a bit anxious he can help you calm down. We always felt very safe when diving and besides that we also had a lot of fun!

This diving center for passing the PADI or first dives is truly incredible!
You have a phobia of depths, fear for your ears or other problems....stop!
They perfectly succeeded in removing all my fears and today I can't wait to Dive AGAIN. The equipment is great, the Dane Masters and instructors are very professional and friendly.
Thanks to Antonin for this experience and the trust I was able to have! We find ourselves 20 thousand leagues under the sea 😉

My wife and I did the open water diver. Everything was organized perfectly and they went the ‚extra mile’ to accomodate according to our needs. We greatly enjoyed the course. Not least due to our instructor Joseph, who made us feel safe at any time and left us well trained. Thanks to everybody involved!
