Everything was 10/10! Service minded crew, good information and GREAT views. It was amazing. My instructor the 2 first days was Maria and she's great!! Very distinct and good instructions, and very kind! My instructor the last day was Alberto and he was also great!!! I couldn't have had better instructor's and I recommend you all to go to Scubadoo! 10/10 🪸👌🏼😄

A great diving school where you are well looked after. We had a swap teacher for two and could learn a lot. During the tach course we stayed at the property. A great price performance course ratio.
Best diving center in Koh Tao

We had the most amazing time with Simon, learned everything we need to feel safe and have fun under the water. We passed the course with my boyfriend, I loved the fact that it was only the two of us with our teacher - unlike the big groups you could end up in if you pick other diving centres on the island. I’m actually sad our 6 dives are already over, it was a wonderful experience.
The best course and teachers ever! 🐟🌊

Neo and Harry were the best teachers! Felt so safe the entire time despite personal worries with some of the drills. Both were so patient and helpful throughout the entire experience making sure we were always comfortable and giving us tips to help ease our stress. They took us to the best spots and gave us great briefs on the location, what to expect and what we could see. Cannot recommend this experience and both Neo and Harry enough! The best few days and will definitely be back for more :) 🐟🌊
Amazing experience

I landed on Koh Tao with thick grey clouds overhead and was debating an island snorkeling tour, when, inspired by one of my clients who said they loved diving here, I decided to ask around a couple of diving shops. Scubadoo was the third and best priced and had a shop full of welcoming people. I signed up after a bit of research and had a blast completing my open water diver qualification. I’ve learned loads in what feels like even less time than the 2.5 day course and have made at least one mate from it! I’d highly recommend Scubadoo - big shout to Lukey, Harry and Jorge.

Was an amazing experience, I can't complain about anything, they have his own pier, own boat, the stuff is so friendly and helpful, the boat is not crowded as other schools and everyone makes u feel like a family. I highly recommend this dive center, they also take pictures of you without pay anything. Help them grow they deserve it 🥰

What an amazing experience, I was extremely nervous to start but the instructors are very patient and reassuring. This was an eye opener into what lies below the surface! Thanks to all the team you are all fantastic. I also stayed in the hostel and it was very clean relaxing and also very private would recommend to anyone. This is a must!!

Had an unreal time diving with Lukey and the rest of the team, made it a breeze to pass the open water and advanced courses at a really gaffordable price. This also included a couple of complimentary nights at their hostel, which was a really comfortable stay. Would 100% recommend to any one thinking of diving in Koh Tao
