    Two Bryde Whales spotted in Koh Tao

    Bryde Whale sighting in the Gulf of Thailand. Alvaro diving where the first ever to spot bryde whales around the waters of Koh Tao.

The captain of the Alvaro dive boat reacted fast and turned the boat around quickly. The two whales didn't seem to mind the company of snorkelers around them and stayed a while to feed their curiosity and do some human watching... Bryde Whale sighting in the Gulf of Thailand.

    Whale Shark Sighting

    Just last week we saw a fantastically large whale shark in Chumphon pinnacle! Made the whole trip to Thailand worth it for many of our divers. Whalesharks are regular visitors of the larger pinnacles around Koh Tao and make the island one of the few places in the world, where a scuba diver can get so close to the largest shark in the oceans. In general, whalesharks like divers! They just love to swim through the bubbles and get an extra portion of oxygen. Just last week we saw a fantastically large whale shark in Chumphon pinnacle!

PADI Bubble Maker

The PADI Bubble Maker Experience is a great way to introduce children over the age of eight to scuba diving in less than two meters of water.
Youngsters can join in the family fun of scuba diving or even start a new trend among their friends! Children should be comfortable in the water, but they don’t have to be super swimmers. With youngsters in mind, the maximum depth is only 2 meters and sessions only last about an hour.
Kids get a chance to experience what scuba diving is like under the direct care and supervision of PADI-qualified instructors, learn about and use scuba diving equipment made for children – not adults – and take their first breath underwater. And there’ll be able to go home and tell their friends they’ve done something amazing and unique on their holiday!

PADI Junior Open Water Diver

The PADI Junior Open Water Diving Course follows the same standards as the regular Open Water Diver Course with only one exception for 10 – 11 years olds, the maximum dept for all dives is 12m.
When teaching youngsters we will never have more then two kids in one group to make the course as safe as possible for your children. However, if you want to learn diving with your kids we can teach you all together but the maximum per group is two children and two adults.

Discover Scuba Diving

If your kids want to try but don’t have the time to invest in a full course or are not sure if they really going to like it, let them have a try with Discover Scuba Diving!
Working alongside a fully-qualified PADI diving instructor, they will start out on a shallow beach and practice a few skills before heading out for a real dive, to a maximum depth of 6 meters, out in the open water where they will be surrounded by stunning corals, colorful fish and exotic marine life.
If they love it, which we’re pretty sure they will, they can do some more dives with an instructor straight away, going down as far as 12m.
