Welcome to Pimp My Dive Koh Tao

  Had a great experience getting our PADI open water licence. We struggled a bit at first but because there's only one (very patient) instructor for two people we made a... read more lot of progress.

They also took us to some very beautiful diving spots where we saw turtles, stingrays and all other kinds of beautiful fish and coral.

Overall we had a great experience.

  Excellent instructors and with small groups you get all the benefit of their experience, stories & guidance. From being a complete novice, who was relatively nervous on the first dive,... read more to having genuine confidence when stepping in to the water at the end of the open water course. Highly recommended to anyone interested in learning how to dive.

  What a nice first diving experience for my partner and I. Definitely would like to do it again, especially when there’s one instructor for 2 divers.
Thank you again... read more Alain and all the team.

  Me and my boyfriend came to Koh Tao to do different diving courses (we are in different levels). I did the open water (the first one). I am a super... read more nervous person and despite my willingness to do the course, I was a little anxious about it. I want to start saying that my instructor, Alain Tourret, made this experience simply AWESOME AND MAGICAL! He is a very calmed and experienced guy and transmits knowledge in a very clear and easy way. He is chilled and fun but always very strict with exercises and safety measures. He is an exceptional guide, and I think I couldn’t have done it with anyone else better than him! I felt super comfortable, reassured and safe with him and even in a couple of moments when fear and anxiety was taking control of me underwater, he calmed me down and I was able to move on and finish the exercise. That said, the rest of the experience from start to finish was awesome and so so magical! The Pimp my Dive staff is super cool and fun! Owners, dive masters and instructors are very friendly, capable and supportive. They speak multiple languages and French as native language so it is very helpful for foreigners and the French people. They are very rigorous and impecable with their work and they give personalized attention to students by never doing more than 2 students per instructor at the same time. The boat is AMAZING! Is very big which makes it easy to get equipped and hang on the boat while you are not in the water. the boat is always clean, organized and super comfortable (they even have a chilling rooftop) and ridiculously well equipped: they have the tank filling station, showers, toilets, equipment racks, rooftop, tables and benches and a snaking station with fresh water, tea, snacks and fresh fruit! And last but not least, the diving locationsPARADISE! very well selected for the different exercises at different depths, always surrounded by coral reefs with thousands of different colorful fishes, corals and marine life to make the learning experience also entertaining and enjoyable! Super recommended place to do the open water or any other PADI level, a batem or fun dive! I hope to dive once again soon with the Pimp my Dive team! ️️

  I did my open water course here and it was the best decision. Great, safe, knowledgeable, and fun staff. I highly recommend this to anyone!

  I dived with Aude and Olivier this weekend. I can't thank them enough for how accommodating and nice they were. We had a lot of beginners in our group and... read more even a non swimmer. They dealt with the situation like the pros they are, making sure everyone felt safe, confortable and confident before going into the water and once in the water. My friends had the best time and all want to pass their open water now!

We wanted to do different things and ended up with a day tailored to our specific needs. Think of prioritizing a smaller scuba club like pimp my dive if you want a personalized approach instead of a big shop where you'll just be one more tourist in the mass.

Knowledgeable, funny, safe, fluent in English and French, I will definitely dive with them again whenever I get back to koh Tao.

Merci encore Aude et Olivier, à bientôt j'espère !

  Aude and Oliver are wonderful instructors! For my fun dives I felt very safe and informed. I would highly recommend going to Pimp My Dive Scuba Center because they have... read more GREAT prices for each dive , they are very organized and all around wonderful people.

  I have went there to get my first open water exam, I have heard that Koh Tao was an amazing place to start the dive. Which it was!!!! The first... read more two days I was studying about the theory (you can do it in one day but I felt it would be a bit to rough) anyways I finished and started my dives the next day! The first dive was about if I can do them all correctly so not much to see. However the other four were perfect I really like the buoyancy course. We were able to pass through statues and a cave!!!! But that was not the best part... The last one was!!!!!! We went to the best diving spot where I ever went!!!! In Chumphon Pinacal we saw five huge grouper, but like huge!!!!
If you don’t like that place then why dive!

  非常好 我跟Oliver学的aow 教练非常耐心 而且Oliver和Aude非常有责任感 每次潜水看到水下有塑料瓶子 都捡起来 非常让我尊敬的人。 Oliver和Aude的英语也非常好。 It’s an amazing experience to learn diving with Oliver and Aude. They are someone you can totally rely on under the water.

  Pimp My Dive is run by a great couple, Aude & Olivier, both with worldwide diving experience. They offer a high quality service with a more private aspect to it.... read more Classes are held with 1 instructor per 2 students which offers a pretty much tailored course and you will get all the attention you deserve to become an able and confident diver.
They operate from Mae Haad close to the main Pier and use some of the most comfortable boats available on the island!
Their equipment is spotless and so is their shop which shows their attention for detail.
I would highly recommend Pimp My Dive if you are a beginner looking for a comfortable and close to tailor made classes or if you are a seasoned diver and are looking for some serious and professional, yet fun people to guide you on the best dive sites around Koh Tao! And you can always increase your specs with them too 😀

  Five stars for Aude, Olivier and Dada. They made our diving vacation an absolute success. As a father I completely trusted Aude with both my teenage sons while they did... read more their Open water. Olivier was superb when taking my 9 year old on the Bubblemakker dive, he loved the dive. And for the Refresh course, both I and my wife felt in very comfortable. I rarely meet instructors that are so professional, so calm and so friendly, they are special people. They humbly say that their English is OK, their English is great. I can only give Aude and Olivier the highest recommendation. Maybe I (our family) will be lucky enough to come back and enjoy their company. It has truly been a pleasure! Merci beaucoup!

  Great dive center! Great friendly staff! Just lovely people who really enjoy diving. They provide an awesome experience with some helpful knowledge as well

  If you are looking for a great dive center in Koh Tao, i recommend you at 100% Pimp My Dive!

They are really passionated about diving and very professional. Diving with Pimp My Dive is a great experience!

  We arrived in Koh Toa very apprehensive about diving. We had heard it was the best place to do it first time due to price and ease. A travel company... read more had recommended Pimp My Dive to us and we did not regret our decision to go with this recommendation one bit. The three of us were all very nervous, but even after our first conversation with Oliver and Aude they put us right at ease. The diving is conducted in small groups so you never feel out of your depth. They even provided us with a short GoPro video to remember our time. We could not recommend them enough!

  Total safety, very human size diving school, Olivier and Aude are more than professional and we were in total trust to let them go with our first 8 years old... read more son to his bubble maker dive. The boat is great, as well as the crew, we are a family of 4 with 2 kids. One was too young to dive, but Olivier and Aude scheduled all day so one of them was always there to go snorkeling with our youngest son. Absolutely incredible dives around Japonese garden and Nangyuan island. We can only recommend them for your future dives in Koh Tao, we had the best possible day. Thanks !

  A great experience !!!
What to say ... No need to make a long speech, there is no hesitation to have.
Aude and Olivier are at the top, real professionals.... read more /> But also nice people with whom we spent a great day with friends. They knew how to manage perfectly the general atmosphere and the levels of each one.
I highly recommend them.

  My experience with Pimp my dive was perfect!

I went there for my open water but ended up continuing on the advanced level.
I am so thankful to... read more Aude, Olivier and Dada for their professionalism and their kindness.
The equipments quality is clearly good, their shop is super nice, and the atmosphere is very chill!
They can also guide you to some cool snorkeling spots

I hope I will come back one day to see you guys (also hoping to see a whale shark this time )
Nartrouv’ comme on dit chez moi

  We were a group of 5 with two 8 year old kids and three adults with diverse diving experience (2 with Advanced PADIs and one Open Water who hadn’t dived... read more in years).
Aude and Olivier arranged a great day that suited everyone. We went to Mango Bay and then
Japanese Gardens. The kids did the Bubble Maker discovery program and had a blast ( they even followed a turtle for a while !). It was one instructor per kid, 2m deep and Aude and Olivier are so nice and professional that we felt in total confidence leaving the kids to their dives while we took ours. Having not dived since I passed my PADI, I was a bit nervous at first, but Aude was great. We had her just for the three of us, and after her brief and a few review exercises in the water, I was ready to enjoy a beautiful trip underwater.
Go there, you won’t regret it !

  I joined Pimp My Dive on August 12 ,2019... for one day scuba trip to 3 dive sites[one is Chumporn pinnacle]. It's one of my best diving... read more trips in Koh Tao area--Mr. Olivier[our dive leader] is so nice ...begin with good brief and good take care until the end of the dive.
Boat is also good...crew too.
We come only three persons ..it's small group compare to another dive shop in Koh Tao.

Special thanks to Dada PS[Thai staff of Pimp My Dive]
I plan to join Pimp My Dive again and one day trip is not enough.
