My girlfriend and I had a great time diving with the Dive Inn at Sail Rock. Perfect visibility, amazing place, great team, the boat was not crownded (about 10 people + instructors + crew members). My girlfriend was at first kind of nervous about diving, did not succeed to cope with both fear and the basic moves to do but... More

Felt a little nervous at the first attempt but Alan took his time and I never felt unable to cope. Special mention to Derek who kept an attentive eye on us throughout. Its honestly such a fantastic tour, have loads... More

The dive instructors were so friendly, and full of possitive energy..They were open and honest about the poor visibility, and instead of quickly booking us on our dives told us it might be best to wait for the vis to clear...so we waited and booked our dives a few days after and it paid off! They even picked us up... More

Alan was absolutely amazing, he gave us so much information and tips on what to expect before, during and after the dive! He also made a great effort to take some awsome photos during the dive and sent the link to everyone in an email. Service excellence and its highly recommended to pay the little bit extra to get photos... More

A special mention to the legend that is Alan! He was spot on from the moment we first walked into the dive shop. He provided us with all the knowledge and reassurance we needed. Allowed my girlfriend and I to dive together despite me doing a Discover Scuba Dive and my girlfriend doing a Fun dive as she was already... More

Thank you Alan and Fern for providing a great environment for my PADI certification. The coursework was interesting. Alan's enthusiasm over the telephone is the reason why we booked with The Dive Inn, and it also came through in all of the confined pool and open water dives. The next time I am back in Koh Phangan, I plan to... More

As experienced divers with a 5 year break we couldn't have been in better hands. We feel back in love with scuba thanks to excellent advice, guides, equipment, dive boats and service. Nothing more to say other than one of the best dive centres we have ever used. I cannot recommend highly enough. More

I did my open water course at the dive Inn and it was an awesome experience! Marcel Waldis was my 'dive Instructor' and I really couldn't imagine a better one! He explained everything really well, was always patient, caring and also open for joking around ;) I had a great time and Marcel made me feel very secure and comfortable... More
