Flow Divers

PADI 5 Star Dive Center

Flow Divers Koh Tao is a PADI Five Star Dive Resort specialising in private PADI courses, fun diving and personalised diving experiences on Koh Tao.

For us, diving should feel personal. Whether it’s your very first time underwater, you’re continuing your PADI education, or you’re already certified and simply want to enjoy some great dives around Koh Tao, we want you to feel relaxed, comfortable and well looked after.

Our private PADI courses are ideal for individuals, couples, families or friends who want to learn together without being placed into a larger group. Having that extra time and personal attention means we can move at a pace that feels right for you, spend more time on anything you want to practise, and make the whole experience more enjoyable.

For certified divers, we offer fun diving around Koh Tao’s many dive sites, with a friendly and personal approach. We take your experience, interests and preferences into account wherever possible, while choosing the best options based on conditions and the day’s schedule.

We also have a multi-level saltwater training pool, with depths of 1.4 m, 2.4 m and 3.5 m. It gives new divers a comfortable place to take their first steps underwater, while the deeper sections are ideal for building confidence, practising skills and working on buoyancy before heading into the ocean.

Our spacious dive boat has dedicated areas for dive equipment, a bathroom, freshwater shower and plenty of comfortable space upstairs to relax between dives and enjoy the views around Koh Tao.

Above all, we want Flow Divers to feel welcoming and personal. From your first private PADI course to your next day of fun diving, our aim is simple: good diving, personal attention and an experience you genuinely enjoy.

What to expect

Your PADI Open Water course starts with the theory, which you can complete through PADI eLearning before or during your course. Once you’re ready, we’ll take things into the pool where you can get comfortable with the equipment, practise the essential skills and build confidence at your own pace.

Because your course is private, your instructor can spend more time on anything you want to practise rather than rushing through a fixed group schedule.

From there, it’s time for the best part — the ocean. Over four open-water dives around Koh Tao, you’ll put everything you’ve learned into practice while gradually becoming more comfortable and independent underwater.

Throughout the course, your instructor will be there to help with your skills, buoyancy and confidence, while making sure you have time to actually enjoy the experience.

By the end of the course, once all requirements are successfully completed, you’ll become a PADI Open Water Diver, ready to dive with a buddy to a maximum depth of 18 metres and continue exploring dive sites around the world.
