I came to SJ on a few friends recommendations and I loved it. Groups are small (maximum of 4 students per instructor) and you usually have an instructor plus a dive master in training in each group (depending on the season). The moment you walk in the door, all of the staff make you feel incredibly welcome and safe. The... More

I first took my Open Water cert at Scuba J. and loved it so much I immediately signed up with the same instructor, Gemma for the SSI Adventurer cert. Scuba Junction takes small groups of four people per instructor around the beautiful dive sites of the now world famous Koh Tao Island. Indeed I enjoyed this more personable aspect of... More

I recently completed my OW and Advanced certification with SJ and can gladly say I had the time of my life. From the first email correspondence SJ certainly know how to add that personal touch and Natalie had made me feel welcome before I even stepped foot in the shop. ALL of the staff are friendly, easy going, passionate, down... More

Instructors know there stuff, reception girls will never fail to make you feel welcome and give you a smile and the owner (Natalie) will always make sure everything runs smoothly for you... More

I am a returning customer to Scuba Junction. I did my divemasters there in 2008...I entered as a customer and left feeling like a genuine friend of the staff. I returned on honeymoon and introduced my wife and Natalie, David and all the staff were super friendly and couldn't make us feel more welcome. We had a refresher dive with... More

I was most impressed with the service at Scuba Junction. Before I even arrived, they helped me arrange accommodation and had a driver to collect me from the pier free of charge & I only contacted them a matters of hours beforehand. I found the staff welcoming as this was the first time I'd just shown up somewhere to go... More

Did my OW certification through Scuba J last week while visiting Koh Tao and I'm SO glad I chose Scuba Junction. From the first email exchange to the final goodbye...everyone was professional, friendly and helpful. Scuba Junction keeps the certification groups small (no more than 4 people), which I later found out makes a HUGE difference as this gives the... More

I just completed my SSI OW and Adv courses this week and am a 100% satisfied customer. Once I got it into my head to do an OW course, I promptly settled on doing it at Koh Tao, and started searching for a school. Shot out a few emails to the higher-rated ones, and Scuba Junction was the fastest at... More

So far I've logged 26 dives with 6 different operators (not an expert but not a novice). I'm always keen to ensure I feel comfortable with the operators before I dive with them - Will I be safe? Is the gear in good condition? Are they knowledgeable? Scuba Junction really deliver! The Divemasters and Instructors are very competent, friendly, patient,... More

I finished my SSI open water course here this afternoon. Scuba Junction was great, and my experience was awesome. I have zero complaints, from start to finish. Easy and effortless booking and checkin. Nice. Well-locate shop with new and well-maintained gear. Fun dives with awesome peopl. Great instruction in and out of the water. Good times, overall. I'd recommend Scuba... More
