Master Divers Rating:

all of the staff were very friendly and helpful. My dive instructor was very professional and I learnt a lot from her. She ensured my buddy and I were safe at all times, and I left the course confident in my diving ability. The whole experience was thoroughly enjoyable and has definitely whet my appetite for future diving adventures!

Koh Tao Rating:

it's a great place to scuba dive and meet new people!

Web Site Rating:
Easy to navigate around the website and find what you're looking for.
Staff are very helpful, not just on dives but also with everything you need while you're staying on Koh Tao and even getting there and away. I found the few days I was with Master Divers a relaxing time, very easy to meet new people and good opportunity to socialise with staff and other divers on more than one occasion :)

very friendly and professional staff. Diving courses in really small groups with maximum attention. We learned a lot about the fish identification at Koh Tao with Dutch instructor Wilco. We had a very pleasant time with the team of Master Divers

Koh Tao Rating:

it is a paradise and was very laid back. Beautiful island and nice stay at Sensi Paradise.

one of the best diving trips was our relaxed night dive in a small group, the beautiful fishes and corals. We had made a professional photo shoot of our dive as a superb memory of our dives. We really had a wonderful time with Master Divers on Koh Tao

The whole process was very slick and professional. Right from walking in for the first time, meeting Nina and Charlotte working the front desk, to my last fun dive over 2 weeks later....the whole Master-Divers experience was outstanding and I would highly recommend to anyone interested in diving on Koh Tao.

Koh Tao Rating:

I love KohTao, it's my 3rd visit to the Island....the first time was way back in 1996, so it's great to come back and see the place again. I just wish I had starting diving back then. KT has a real "Soul" which is think is lacking in the other Island in the Gulf. Great laid back atmosphere, cool people, lovely beaches, great selection of food and easy to get around - no hassles or worries either :)

Web Site Rating:
I think the Website is easy to navigate around, all the information required is right there - No problems!
Just wanna throw out a big "Cheers Mate" to the whole DM crew who helped me through my entire Diving experience. Special mention to Sarah who was a thoroughly professional instructor and made what was quite an anxious first few days for me, very enjoyable indeed. Nina was a great source of info and seemed to be running the front of house with clinical like precision :) Dan was awesome on my fun dives...kept it all short, to the point and simple which made it relaxing and most of all FUN! Also, even though he wasn't teaching me or taking my Fun Dives, Donny was always there with a great big smile, a kind encouraging word and making sure everything was OK - Top Bloke! Keep it up the great work, you're doing a fine job!!

We chose Master Divers because our kids, aged 13 and 10, were doing their Open Water Course. Master Divers has an EXCELLENT setup for kids - right sized & well maintained gear, patient & friendly instructors (Thanks Sarah, Nina)and gentle relaxed dive sites, with some great photos (Thanks, Nick). Lindsey - you rock !

What can I say, it's not for nothing the top dive shop on Tripadvisor in Koh Tao! Lovely people, experienced and responsible instructors, relaxed environment... I will definitely go back there! Donny, Nina, Jonas, Aye, David, if you can see this - thanks so much for giving us such a great diving holiday!

Koh Tao Rating:

Beautiful island, not too big, not too small. Compare with Koh Phi Phi, Koh Tao is bigger and have more stuff going on. The dive sites are great (some of the divers on the same boat saw whale shark.. I missed it!). Good beaches.

Web Site Rating:
Very clear and easy to use.

Master Divers Rating:

..it is just a great bunch of people that makes you feel extremely save and relaxed from the minute you walk into their shop. After all, isn't that what a dive shop should be about? Everybody seems to be extremely passionate about what they do, they really seem to enjoy it and they want you to have the same kind of fun and develop the same passion for diving that they have. Like Phil said during the scuba review: Nothing in diving is about forcing anything. I also liked their engagement for mother nature (check out the 'I will survive' clip!!!!). And of course their sense of humor (Rhapsody). All in all, I could summarize it in the words: I wouldn't change a thing...

Koh Tao Rating:

It's a nice place to hide away and relax. However, I missed a couple of 'original' restaurants (especially seafood and local cuisine). In some corners it was a bit to focussed on western tourists (back packers). Then again, having a sundowner drink at Fizz was great fun...

Web Site Rating:
It was you website that caught our attention and made us check you out first. We didn't go anywhere else anymore.

You have a very good team together (including Hero, Smallface and Grumble). Keep that up!

John was a fantastic instructor for my advanced open water course, and all of the staff from Master Diver's were just fun and fantastic. I was impressed that you guys were really taking care of things down there, picking up rubbish from the reefs and really trying to educate people. Thanks for the fantastic time!

Koh Tao Rating:
It's inexpensive, laid back, great diving and snorkelling. What more can you ask for?
Web Site Rating:
Nice design, informative, great that you can book your dives on line and in advance!

Master Divers Rating:
It's all so friendly, flexible and easy. I think that from my conversations with other students and touring divers on the island, Master Divers has the finest instructors and a depth of knowledge beyond just performing PADI instruction like the numerous other dive centers on Koh Tao. Furthermore, the non-instructor staff are really lovely. They are very accommodating and knowledgeable about equipment, safety, dive sites and the rest of the island. I really do recommend them highly.
Koh Tao Rating:
Well it's an island dedicated to diving, socializing and relaxing. Excellent food, especially if you avoid some of the bigger tourist traps. Take care on the roads with those scooters and mopeds. Consider shoes and a helmet...

My dive buddy (Amandine) and I saw a Whale Shark on our third dive on Koh Tau. Chumphon Pinnacle.

The people were friendly, I was made to feel very at home, and made some very good friends in a very short space of time. I don't need to say anything else, other than I miss the guys a lot already and will certainly be back!
Koh Tao Rating:
It is a truly beautiful island for diving, it is very friendly for foreigners as there are many people who speak excellent English, and the delicious Thai food is very reasonably priced.
Web Site Rating:
Just to point out that I travelled here alone, and my stay was made much easier and more enjoyable by the staff including me in their evening activities, being very friendly and helping me with everything I needed!

Master Divers Rating:
It was relaxed and friendly and there seemed to be a community thing going on which was ideal for me as i had just spent the past six weeks travelling round Thailand on my own and not making any friends! Also I loved the bar for after diving.
Koh Tao Rating:
Um, it was cheap. It was beautiful sometimes. The locals were cool and I actually got to interact with them a lot because I saw them everyday. It was very cool to be invited to their children's birthday bashes, etc. You can dive pretty cheap there and dive as much as you like. I also love Thai food so was very happy from that point of view. Good night life too. Oh, and I met my fella there!
Web Site Rating:
I've just been looking through it, first time since it's been updated. Looks really clean, cool and fresh, and I like the photo's as well. Jolly good show!

A family atmosphere and a new diving experience every day, and a 100% safety record. The rescue diving scenarios make you cry and laugh at the same time (as part of the Rescue Diver course - Ed.), it was great theatre - carry on making it fun for everyone.

Everyones idea of a paradise island like in the movie 'The Beach'. Something for everyone at all price points.

Enough to do and see and yet off the beaten track.
