      Great service :)))
      Thank you to the kind lady that runs DJL dive shop. I needed a weight belt and weights for free diving. I emailed several shops and none could provide a weight belt even if I offered to pay. DJL was happy to lend me one with weights for free, emailed me back and even waited after closing time for me! And then the shop I booked my tour with found me one right by my hotel and the DJL lady was fine with me using the other shops belt to avoid return issues. She had waited for me, flagged me down from my taxi and afterward showed me the way back to walking street What a kind, helpful and nice dive shop! Thank you again :))). DJL IS THE BEST👍😊🙏

      Smooth and professional!
      Everything was done very smoothly and my instructor, Fran, was too good! I took the PADI Open Water Diver's course (Beginner) and I must say I gained the confidence I needed because of her (Fran). The timings were flexible and it's such an amazing feeling to be underwater at Lipe! Even though I was nervous in the beginning, Fran's teaching style made diving so simply, easy and enjoyable. I highly recommend it to those who plan on visiting Lipe. It's the best!

      Chill and professional
      I did my advanced open water with Nini and she was awesome! The accomodations were decent. The dive training was professional. Good spot on the beach.

      DJL Koh Lipe - Deco 40
      I was diving with Hydronauts Diving on a Deco 40 course and DJL Koh Lipe very kindly hosted us during our stay and they were absolutely amazing. The logistical organisation for tank filling, gas blending, long tail boats to dive sites and support throughout our course were top notch. Tim was incredibly helpful on providing help and additional information/training on the equipment we were using. I'd thoroughly recommend this dive shop to anyone wanting to go diving around the island - the staff were very friendly at the hostel and the instructors and people visiting were always smiling and having a great time.

      Professional team, Well done!
      I have dived twice with them and I would have loved to repeat, but unluckily I will leave this magical island. I suggest DJL, they are really professional, organized and friendly. I definitely recommend them and I will be back and dive with them once again!

      Only Nice
      Nice place to stay on a not much crowded part on the Pattaya beach with a nice bar and a nice owner just beside of the location. Great diving, and great hearty staff. Missing this place with all the peoples there.

      Excellent people. Chill vibe great location
      We spent New Years with Tim and staff at this dive shop and they know how to have an amazing time. I would strongly suggest this dive shop for discovery scuba and experienced divers.

      Superb
      What a fantastic dive school! DJL is located in a superb part of the beach with a relaxed vibe and white sand. We organised our courses very easily online before arriving. We were greeted with smiles and immediately felt part of the social group. We completed our OWD and Advanced courses. The diving was top notch, better than we expected. Superb visibility and beautiful coral made the Stone Henge dive my fav dive to date. The staff were very professional and really helped us improve as divers. Special shoutouts go to Julia and Nahuel for being great instructors and to Aquaman for advice. After diving it was chilled, a couple of beers and a BBQ with other students and staff being the highlight. Would recommend DJL for sure!!

      Excellent Open Water PADI course
      I can’t recommend DJL diving highly enough. The booking process was organized and very responsive. Everything was ready to go as soon as we arrived with a teacher (Ninnie) for just our family. She worked tirelessly to ensure that we would learn the basics safely and then took us out for the fun dives after the course was done. The whole team at DJL worked hard to deliver a great diving experience. The hostel is fine if you want to save a few bucks and was great value for money. The coral around Ko Lipe is still in good condition (no bleaching, lots of soft corals, turtles etc).

      PADI open water course - amazing
      My boyfriend and I just completed the PADI open water course at DJL koh lipe and I don’t think we could’ve had a better experience. Our instructor Nini was incredibly competent and encouraging. Even at times when I felt a bit scared and uncomfortable, she brought calmness and security. The other instructors we met were also very competent, helpful and excited for us and that made us feel included. I cannot recommend this place and the people enough, you have to go experience it and the whole new world that will be introduced to you.

      Great diving experience
      My friend and I had a great experience diving with the instructor Adrian. We did the renewal training, as we were both certified. They are very serious, competent and caring. Defintely recommend it.

      We were novice uncertified divers so booked a dive experience day which included general instruction off the beach and 2 open water dives, we had an amazing day as it was my partners birthday, the instructor Fab and the photographer Nini made for a really great experience. In fact we enjoyed it so much that we went back again for 2 more dives with a different instructor Joani who was also great. Great school, great helpful fun staff and good value for money, anyone looking to go diving on Koh Lipe to go see DJL. We will do a course next and certify as quite hooked on it now 👍🏻

      More Diving
      Me and my dive buddy spent the best part of two weeks diving with DJL. Diving was relaxed, but professionally run with full site briefings and safety kit aboard the boat (not used). I liked the 8 o’clock starts (not like the unearthly hours I get up in the U.K. to go diving). They were accommodating to our level of experience, including dives with mandatory deco stops. The guides were knowledgable on what could be found on the various dive sites. All in all we’d dive with then again.

    May 2022 • Friends
    I met DJL on Koh Lipe and expanded my diving experience with an advanced course and some fun dives. Due to the very friendly and family contact and the very professional dives, my friends have also completed the OW and Advanced. 3 months later we have expanded our diving career with a Nitrox, Wreck and Deep Dive specialization in Koh Tao. Julia, Tim and the whole team are great teachers. Especially in the Tec area, Tim brings decades of experience from his wreck expedition. The family atmosphere with small diving groups let me return at some point. Thank you for the great time with you!

    I was the last customer of the season. There were only very few people on the island, I was afraid that I might not be able to go dive anymore. As I walked by DJL Diving, ED was already preparing to close the shop during low season and probably didn’t expect anymore customers. I wanted to do two fun dives the next day. Although I would probably be the only one, the price was very reasonable & I’ve felt very welcoming. The weather has not been the best but the visibility underwater was surprisingly good. I’ve felt very taken care of & had an amazing experience diving with ED. I felt like he did whatever possible to show me the best he could and I really appreciate that. Thank you so much ED & DJL Divers for that adventurous experience! I will be back.
