Dive course prices for Koh Samui

Scuba Diving Thailand - Koh Samui...

Our popular speed boat dive trips goes out to the most popular dive sites every day on a weekly schedule. The amount of divers per trip is limited in order to ensure comfort, safety and to maximize your chance of getting really close to the marine life. We can take any qualified diver to any dive site as we sub-divide our groups into small teams with separate dive guides. If you are not a certified diver and just want to give it a try, we will take you to a shallow dive site suitable for your first breaths under water.

All dive trips include; transfer from and back to your hotel, 2 dives, use of nearly new high quality equipment, dive guide, hyperbaric insurance, lunch and complimentary drinks.

Our high quality rental equipment from Scubapro, Technisub and Mares is replaced annually and we have enough sizes to provide a good fit.

We are proud to be the only dive center in the Gulf of Thailand to own and operate a world-class mini yacht purpose built for diving. Generally, the common speed boats take you to the dive site fast, but the comfort level is compromised due to bumpy rides, noisy outboard engines and insufficient space for equipment preparation, entries and exits. The day tour boats are more comfortable, but too slow to take you to the remote dive sites in an acceptable time frame. Our boat, Chonticha, combines the best of both giving you a fast and very comfortable dive cruise to the best dive sites in the area. It is also possible to charter our boat and set your own cruise itinerary. Please contact us for a price quote.
