When we walked into the shop the owner was very friendly and offered their tour to Sailrock as the best diving experience in Ko Samui. There are cheaper options, but his argument was his small speedboat and a small group with max. of 16 people. The first time in a PADI operation we only needed to show our credit card.... More

I booked a day with Colin after looking for another dive school because I had not seen any reviews about this dive company. Upon entering the dive school at Fisherman's village I was extremely impressed with the hire gear which is Scubapro and it was brand new, so I booked for the 9th / May / 2012. I am a... More

Me and my girlfriend done our PADI open water course here. Firstly we chose this school because most of the dive instructors are from the UK, (though there are others from Australia and France) and this meant there were no problems with language which is very important to us in a course that is so potentially dangerous. Also the price... More

Good and nice instructors, Eric Solada or Sean walks you through PADI open water comfortably. If you gone dive in KOH SAMUI, Bophut Diving school is the place, I strongly recommend it. A was a cool and nice experience. I have dive at 3 other schools in Koh Samui, but I will seriously recommend Bophut Diving School. Good luck to... More

I spent a fantastic twelve days in Thailand in late March diving with Bophut Diving every second day! I completed my Open Water and Advanced certifications and could not have been happier with the friendly and professional service I received. After walking the length of Fisherman's Village, I was greeted by Eric when entering the store. I asked him why... More

I've been wanting to get a license to dive for several years, and after talking to one of the guys at Bophut diving after a late night dinner, I decided to sign up for the 2 day Scuba Diver course. Liam ran me easily through the theory and the pool dive the first day, followed by an absolutely fantastic day... More

I came an Open Water diver and left as Advanced Diver with two specialties. The crew of instructors are not only very professional, but great people too. The underwater fauna and flora are just amazing and the instructors, pointing out fish and plants make sure you don't miss a thing while diving. I can HIGHLY recommend Bophut Diving School for...

We finally returned and booked with Bophut diving for the following reasons: - very friendly staff - own diving boat - fair price They have their own diving boat. It is not a Speedboat, but... More
