What To Expect

We wish to introduce you to the wonderful world of Scuba Diving. Many of those who try it go on to become certified divers. Our experience begins with a (1 hour) pool session the morning or afternoon before the main activity in order to introduce you to the equipment, breathing underwater, complete a simple safety drill and receive some tips on how to move in the water. For those that may be a little more nervous than others, we find it the best way to produce a great experience. The dive day in the open water will be two dives to a maximum of 12 metres on our local coral reefs. No promises about sightings of particular marine life, but a promise that you will see a lot of fish and coral. The experience will be registered with PADI as your first steps to an Open Water Certificate whether with us or another PADI centre.

Beautiful dive-sites around Koh Chang and diving (or snorkeling) with Koh Chang divers is such a pleasure! David and his sons are such a cool and relaxed bunch of guys! The equipment is good and the boat not over-crowded, which makes every dive trip very nice!! David even arranges your hotel pick-up/drop off on the island. Next time on Koh Chang, you'll see me guys. Thanks again for a great time!
Highly recommended dive centre!

Took the three dive package and was not disappointed! The staff were helpful, polite, friendly and very professional. Equipment was top notch and dive boat was safe and sturdy. Excellent lunch provided and the dive sites were brilliant. Adam the Dive Master was again professional and very knowledgeable and the dive sites, particularly the wreck were fantastic. I can without reservation recommend Ko Chang dive centre…. You won’t be disappointed. Oh, and don’t forget to download the video that Adam takes of the dives……for Free!

This time it was supposed to be a family trip, through snorkeling learned that you can learn the diving certificate, snorkeling ended the night very temporarily decided to apply with your sister! Asking several stores, Koh Chang Divers is really a great value for money Recommendation. The boss is a very energetic Englishman, David. David soon took our application and was very nice and patient, adapting the teaching programme to our situation! It was supposed to be 4 days of study, the first day took us to the pool, the whole process was very patient, but our ear pressure balance was not done properly, for safety reasons he suggested we extend the 1 day study period and no extra charge! We are really touched to meet such a responsible coach and institution. The five-day instructional David pick-up and drop-off was provided with comprehensive equipment (diving suit, diving goggles, oxygen tank, CBD), meals and fruit on board the speedboat, and also included a diving computer watch, fingertips, etc. The second day of pool study brought an extra coach Chris, the whole process was also very responsible, the teaching style was very interesting, we learned easily while improving a lot from the first day, the third to the fifth day began ow and aow drills and exams, show us the fish, wreck, the whole process was very easy, completed the exam during the play, Chris demo we do it, on the bottom of the sea Chris really feel safe, will care and watch our state from time to time, o no ok.. The Trips were really memorable, choosing Koh Chang Divers in Thailand, meeting David and Chris and the simple Thai people, packed with two diving certificates, I would definitely Recommendation them to friends and family, they were great, meticulous care, will definitely have the chance to come back!
One of the best dive experiences we have had!

We had an amazing experience with our guide Adam! He’s a funny guy and we felt very taken care of, super professional! This dive shop really keeps things personal and the grouos are small - on the first day we were just the three of us. We had the fresh up before, so we would feel safe and easy during the rest of the dives. The boat is great, the food is delicious. The dive sites are very beautiful - nice reefs and an impressive wreck for a deep dive. This was one of the best dive experiences we have ever had - we even saw a whale ub on the second dive! The shop also offers attractive packages. THANK YOU for the glorious experience, Koh Chang divers! Definitely recommend!
Brilliant experience and team to get PADI certified with - and beautiful diving

Such a positive experience with Koh Chang Divers! My family got our PADI open water qualifications over three days- David took us through the day in the pool and then on six dives over the following two days. He dealt with us extremely professionally as a group, patiently taking into account and managing our different needs and abilities. The course was thorough and we all felt very reassured throughout. The diving itself was beautiful - both the reef and the wreck dives were spectacular. Looking forward to coming back!!
Excellent day together with entire family

Great staff. Well educated and experienced personnel. Professional set up. Security minded. I was diving and I could bring my family on the same boat and they could do snorkelling while I was diving.
The best experience!

We got our padi open water diving course with David. It was a very nice experience. David puts you at ease, explains everything calmly and takes you into the underwater world. Despite the rain, David made the best of it for us, so we learned to dive and eventually saw the beautiful underwater world. If you want to dive on Koh Chang, definitely go here!
A wonderful immersion into the sea world

This was a wonderful experience. We took a full day trip into the national park Ko Yak Lek, where we visited three islands and had a change to scuba dive 3 times. The instructor was great and showed us lovely see life with beautiful coral reefs. The water was clear and we managed to see many different fishes. We had lunch and a snack on the boat and the crew was very friendly and helpful. Special thanks to Charles, who was my husbands diving instructor and who took great care of him. My husband was delighted with his diving experience.

We had a very nice dive experience with Koh Chang Divers. The Staff was awesome and the Divesites definitely worth to visit. We went to the Marine Park on our first trip and down to the wreck and around Hin Raab the second day. We enjoyed it so much diving with you guys. And we were impressed by the cool and respectful way Marcus was leading the group. The food was another Highlight. Prices very reasonable… go with them and find out… all the best to you guys!
