My partner and I came to Koh Tao as nervous divers with limited dives completed and we only planned on doing a couple of fun dives. However, after diving with Nava, we ended up staying for two weeks, completing 9 dives and our Advanced Open Water qualifications! We left Koh Tao feeling super confident and are so keen to get back into the water again soon. A huge thank you to Robin, who was an incredibly skilled, relaxed and friendly instructor. He put us at ease from the moment we started diving and made the whole experience so enjoyable. A big thank you as well to Paul and the rest of the team for being so helpful and welcoming, providing detailed information about all the dive sites, organising hotel pick-ups and drop-offs for all our dives, and always providing lunch on the dive days. The team was also always so organised and kept to the planned schedule. We had such a fantastic time diving with Nava and couldn’t recommend them highly enough! If you’re looking to dive in Koh Tao, definitely give them a try. 🤿

Wonderful dive school. Very professional on every level. They were super friendly and helpful. The dive was well planned; everything was explained beforehand. The price was also very fair. We even saw whale sharks on our dive. First time I saw one since 15 years of scuba diving! I can recommend the school to the fullest!

Dive Responsibly! Protect What You Love in Koh Tao

We believe Koh Tao scuba diving should be about more than just an adventure. It’s about protecting the incredible marine environment. Whether you join PADI Diving School Koh Tao for a PADI Open Water course or a relaxing fun dive, your actions underwater make a difference. Here are some practical ways to dive responsibly and preserve the beauty of our reefs in Koh Tao and beyond.

Support sustainable diving practices

Choose the best dive school Koh Tao that actually walks the walk, like Nava Scuba Diving, a proudly recognized PADI Eco Center. Everyone of our PADI Koh Tao scuba diving programs is designed with sustainability in mind, helping minimize our impact and promote sustainability.

Use eco-friendly equipment

Protecting the sea starts with your gear. Always use reef-safe sunscreen and well-maintained equipment to avoid harming marine life. Properly secured gear helps prevent unintentional contact with the fragile ecosystem during your scuba diving Koh Tao adventure.

Capture memories without disturbance

Taking photos is a way to remember, but it should be done responsibly. Keep a safe distance and use flash sparingly to reduce stress on marine species. This ensures your Koh Tao scuba diving experience is both memorable and respectful.

Master your buoyancy control

Buoyancy skills are essential to prevent unintentional damage to the reef. During your PADI Open Water and other courses, we’ll help you fine-tune your trimming for better control and confidence. This improves safety and also ensures minimal environmental impact.

No touching underwater

Coral reefs are living, delicate structures that take years to grow but seconds to destroy. Avoid touching or collecting coral, and refrain from disturbing marine animals. Respecting these creatures is key to a truly responsible PADI Koh Tao scuba diving.
