-
We offer a range of Koh Tao diving certifications, from the Discover Scuba Diving program and PADI Open Water Diver course all the way to Professional Level training.
-
We only send our dive pros out with small groups, ensuring you get more one-on-one time with your experienced PADI Divemaster or Instructor.
-
Having our own boat gives us the flexibility and control to choose the best Koh Tao dive sites to match our customers' needs.
-
We only use leading brands of scuba diving equipment, and all of our gear is safe, clean, and regularly serviced by our on-staff ScubaPro-trained technicians.
WHY CHOOSE FIFTY SIX DIVE?
There aren't many other operators that offer PADI Diving Courses to the same high standards and quality of service as us, but we realise you have options. So, what do we think makes us the best Koh Tao dive centre?
SMALL
GROUP SIZES
Here at FIFTY SIX DIVE, we believe in giving each student the best possible experience. Some Koh Tao dive centres teach in groups as big as 8-12. We limit group sizes on all courses and fun diving trips to a maximum of 4 to ensure everybody has the personal attention they need to feel safe and comfortable underwater.
GREAT
LOCATION
With a location to make every other dive school on Koh Tao envious, FIFTY SIX DIVE is situated in the heart of Sairee Village, directly on the beach. You literally can’t get any closer to the ocean without getting wet, and our west-facing view makes for impressive sunset panoramas after your days of diving on Koh Tao.
EXPERIENCED
INSTRUCTORS
The team at FIFTY SIX DIVE are not your average instructors. Selected due to their extensive knowledge and experience, every single one has a minimum rating of Master Scuba Diver Trainer, meaning they have taught several different levels of courses, and have completed hundreds (if not thousands) of dives.
