 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. First class dive centre. Very friendly owners, very professional. James was my daughter’s drive instructor and took her through the basics in the sizeable and convenient pool right next to the dive centre. After this, my daughter and I did two afternoon dives that were made all the more enjoyable by James’ calm, relaxed and professional demeanour. I would definitely use Flow Divers again. Highly recommended.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Flow divers is the place to go. The people and the atmosphere are fantastic. I had Chris Castle as an instructor for my open water. The way he broke down the material made the learning incredibly fun and digestible. I enjoyed my time there so much that I brought my brother back for his open water. I’d recommend Flow divers to anybody at any level.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had the best diving experience ever with the diving center at Tarna Resort in Koh Tao!

At first I wasn’t sure where to do my diving certification, but since the resort had its own diving center, I decided to check it out and I’m so happy I did. From the very beginning, I felt comfortable, safe, and welcomed by the whole team.

Jonathan, who manages the center, is from Quebec, and since I’m Québécoise too, it immediately made the experience feel even more personal and reassuring. One thing I really appreciated is that they offer courses in both French and English, which is amazing for French-speaking travelers who may feel more comfortable learning in their native language.

I did my dives with Jeff, and he was absolutely incredible. The instructors are extremely patient, kind, and professional. They really take the time to make sure everyone feels confident before going into the ocean. We first practiced in a dedicated training pool, which was perfect for learning and building confidence. Safety was clearly their top priority at every step, and I always felt very well taken care of.

Once we went out into the ocean, the experience was unforgettable. The instructors stayed close the whole time, always checking that everything was okay and making sure we felt safe underwater. The atmosphere was fun, relaxed, and supportive from beginning to end.

Honestly, I couldn’t have asked for a better first diving experience in Koh Tao. I would 100% recommend this diving center to anyone thinking about diving here especially if you’re looking for patient instructors, a safe environment, and an amazing overall experience. Thank you again to the whole team!

J’ai eu la meilleure expérience de plongée de ma vie avec le centre de plongée du Tarna Resort à Koh Tao !

Au début, je ne savais pas avec quel centre faire ma plongée, mais comme l’hôtel avait son propre diving center, je suis allée me renseigner et je suis tellement contente de l’avoir fait. Dès le début, je me suis sentie en confiance, à l’aise et super bien accueillie par toute l’équipe.

Jonathan, qui gère le centre, est Québécois, et comme je suis Québécoise aussi, ça a rendu l’expérience encore plus chaleureuse et rassurante. J’ai aussi beaucoup aimé le fait qu’ils offrent les formations autant en français qu’en anglais, ce qui est vraiment pratique pour les voyageurs francophones.

J’ai fait mes plongées avec Jeff, et il était incroyable. Les instructeurs sont vraiment patients, gentils et professionnels. Ils prennent le temps de bien expliquer et de s’assurer que tout le monde se sente en confiance avant d’aller dans l’océan. On commence d’abord dans une piscine spécialement conçue pour l’apprentissage, ce qui aide énormément à se familiariser avec l’équipement et à gagner confiance.

La sécurité est clairement leur priorité numéro un, et je me suis toujours sentie entre bonnes mains. Une fois dans la mer, les instructeurs restaient toujours proches de nous pour vérifier que tout allait bien et nous mettre en confiance sous l’eau. L’ambiance était super agréable, relaxe et vraiment le fun du début à la fin.

Honnêtement, je n’aurais pas pu demander une meilleure expérience de plongée à Koh Tao. Je recommande ce centre à 100 % à tous ceux qui veulent découvrir la plongée dans un environnement sécuritaire, professionnel et vraiment humain. Merci encore à toute l’équipe !
