I was very excited to dive in Koh Tao, given its reputation. However, I was also nervous. While I am PADI certified, it had been a long time since my last dive, and I definitely consider myself a novice. I signed up with Seashell to do a review course in the morning and a fun dive in the afternoon. Bryan... More

Very professional and fun staff,... More

I was there one week with my friend. She took her padi licence while I was diving. I really liked the diving center, everyone was really prepared and make the diving easy and fun. I also did the scuba review and we went through everything starting with the theory and ending with more than one hour practice. Good thing is... More

Like many others, I arrived on Koh Tao without much idea where I was going to be staying. A friend on the island recommended I check out Seashell, as I wanted to get back in the water. I found Seashell Divers to be extremely well set up, with a fantastic attitude to diving, island life and the boss has a... More

My husband and I took our open water diving course at seashell in March 2012 and absolutely loved it! I slacked off on writing a review but a year later after visiting another dive site I was motivated to write how awesome they were!! Our instructor, Jo, was amazing and really made diving fun and made me feel very safe... More

I've stayed at Seashell divers a in September for one week. I really liked the resort, there is a lot of room to choose from and depending on your budget you can spoil yourself or go on a footprint. The swimming pool area is really pleasant and the resort is right on Sairee beach so you can even leave you... More

The dive centre is really great. I had my very first dive with Seashell and I couldn't have asked for a better instructor or experience. Neil was very kind, terribly patient, an excellent teacher who was incredibly attentive. He really went the extra mile to make our experience fantastic. As far as the hotel goes, the food is good (the... More

I should split this review in 2. 1st for the resort itself & accommodation - I stayed in a fan bungalow at the back Of the resort, across the road actually where a lot of construction work was underway. It was rather dark to walk back there I'm an evening. Given the location there were LOTS of Mosquitos and I... More

It's hard to rate seashells because it's 2 completely different things, the resort and the dive center. The resort is pretty plain, nice pool area, the restaurant has a good grill but there was a snake in our bungalow the first and that kinda scared me half to death, they were great and changed our room in spite of being...
