Did my open water course here in January and absolutely loved it.
The owners and staff were very friendly. I was very impressed that everyone I talked to made the effort to remember my name.
My instructor Anton was AWESOME 🤙. Very professional, informative and fun! It was a good time hanging out after the dives at the Buddha Bar.
The dive boat was the best on the island, all the equipment was in good condition, 10/10 would recommend the cookies. Ocean Sound was worth it just for the boat cat (pictured).
My only comment would be that it would have been nice to get a picture of us divers under the water. Not sure how practical that would be given how much the instructors are already responsible for but it is certainly worth considering for the future.
Overall I would absolutely recommend Ocean Sound.
My PADI card just came in the mail today, can't wait to dive again.

We can't recommend these guys enough. I hadn't dived for over 10 years and my partner Phyu had only dived once before and had a terrible experience. Our dive instructor Sam installed confidence from the outset, so much so that we booked another two days diving! Phyu & Richard

I recently went on a fun dive with Ocean Sound Dive and was fortunate enough to have a private dive with Ernie, one of the Dive Instructors. I was very impressed and would highly recommend this company and especially Ernie as all aspects of the dive far exceeded my expectations. The equipment was top notch and very comfortable, the boat was quite luxurious by all standards and Ernie was both fun and very knowledgeable. He took the time to really brief me on all aspects of the dive and what would be happening, as well as, instructing me on improving my diving skills. Since I am a new diver and still working towards getting better I was really happy to have all of the extra instruction he provided me. He’s a born teacher and easily explained concepts that I struggled with. I felt completely safe and had two amazing dives. We even saw a bull shark

I enrolled in the PADI open water course based on 3 things - killer reviews, boat cat Mr. White and a great dive schedule. Little did I know I would absolutely fall in love with everything about Ocean Sound. The hospitality is unparalleled. The owners make you feel welcome, are super helpful and make sure you're enjoying yourself on the Island. You are welcome to fill up your water bottle when they are open during your stay on the island which was HUGE bonus points for me because I hate how much plastic water bottles are used during my international travels.
Our instructor Anton was amazing. His patience, humor, and knowledge made even the most anxious diver (me!) feel totally confident by the end of the course. His passion for diving is contagious and I feel eternally grateful that our paths crossed. Diving will forever be part of my life because of this experience.
My boyfriend and I are dreaming about the next time we come back and complete our Advanced Diving course at Ocean Sound. The time can't come soon enough. Damn America for their horrible PTO policies!
Thanks Ocean Sound. You all are the best. If you come to San Francisco, please hit me up!

Went to a fabulous Hatha yoga class with Iris. It was challenging but suitable to all abilities. She was very professional, gave great alignment cues, options for further challenge, and hands on adjustments- which I love. I really appreciated that she spent time developing specific skills during the class as well and I left feeling like I learned something. I also went fun diving to Chumphon pinacle. A great day out on the water, beautiful boat, and I had a super experienced guide who made me laugh the whole time. Overall great experience!

If you are looking for somewhere to dive then look no further. Right from the start the staff at Ocean sound were so welcoming and we instantly felt comfortable. It was a very well organised course with class room sessions and a pool session to increase your confidence and introduce you to the feeling of breathing underwater and the vital skills. Unlike some other diving schools, Ocean sound ensure a maximum of 4 people in a group in order to increase safety and 1 on 1 time with your instructor. We never felt pressured to do anything and our instructor worked with us at our pace. Our instructor, Zuzana, was amazing. She was so enthusiastic, friendly, smiley and always checked up on us in and out of the water. We loved the course so much we completed our advance diving course straight after. The advanced course allowed us to choose 3 fun dives which included a night dive and a ship wreck dive. We really couldn’t recommend this company enough. Amazing!

Where to start from?!
What got our attention first was the very competitive price compared to other shops on the island. Then we had the chance to meet an incredible array of amazing people - from Ko, our kind driver, to Jesper , great dive shop owner… am I forgetting somebody?! Oh well, Our INCREDIBLE instructor Sam!!! She is amazing: she would be clear on expectations and instructions, explain the dive sites, make sure everybody was ok, take amazing pics and also give us amazing tips to exploring the island. the shop atmosphere is great, everybody is chilled and very professional at the same time. We liked it so much we decided to stay and do also the advanced open waters. Cannot go wrong with ocean sound!!!! We loved it and can’t wait to dive more and more!

I got my diving certificate at ocean and sound on Koh Tao. From the start they were incredibly helpful. We had come to plan to arrive a day early on the island, but it was no problem. Ocean and sound picked us up at the port and had arranged for us to find accommodation. It was simply such good service. We were well informed from the start and we could follow the process all the time. The owners Jesper and Will were incredibly friendly and welcomed us with open arms. Our dive instructor Les was simply God's gift to us. He was crazy good at learning and explaining, and was attentive and took the whole process with a lot of patience. Rather, it could not be possible to be lost in the process. The course itself went sublimely. Both theory, but also practical. We simply had a party during the course. You were in small groups with your diving instructor, which made it all incredibly safe! We were so happy to dive, for the place and Les that we chose to take an advanced course, which we have never regretted. You could feel all around the team that they were good people! From the driver to the owner to all the instructors. I can wholeheartedly recommend ocean and sound, and I don't think you should get a diving certificate anywhere else but at ocean and sound on Koh Tao

Not gonna lie, I am slightly scared of the sea but I decided to push myself and do an open water certificate. Everything felt very professional during this experience and my dive instructor, Kray, made me feel super comfortable and safe. We were in a group of 4 so I felt like I got the time I needed whilst learning and thoroughly enjoyed myself. It was one of the best experiences I’ve had - the group as a whole was amazing! Couldn’t recommend enough. Cheers to my group, Kray, and the team at Ocean Sound!

I did PADI open water course at Ocean sound dive and will definitely recommend this to others.
Our instructor Anton was thorough, took his time, but also brought enthusiasm and excitement to the course.
We were three participants, which meant there was time to get to know eachother aswell as having time for training some of the exercises 1:1 with the instructor when needed.
At all times I felt safe and two of us even continued with the advanced course, because we had such a good time.

I'm interested in introducing my 3 children to scuba diving and planning a trip to Thailand in the fall. My youngest child is 9 and not a great swimmer. Is the island safe and a good fit for an American family looking for quiet relaxation, and is your company designed to teach and supervise children? Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I am in Cambodia and am considering going to Koh Tao in a few days time to get my Padi.
I have checked the weather and it looks like a lot of rain and cloudy weather. Can you tell me honestly if it is a bad idea to do the diving in that weather? I don’t want to spend money on flights to get there and also on the course if it’s not ideal conditions.
I appreciate your honesty on this because I have heard good things about your company and was given a recommendation from a friend.
Thanks in advance
Diarmaid.

Can I see whale sharks by snorkelling, or do I need to get scuba certified and dive to see them? I'm not sure how deep they swim. Thanks!
Written April 3, 2018
Hello Michael, in order to have a chance to see a Whale Shark, you will need to learn how to dive. They prefer offshore pinnacles around Koh Tao. We do have them year round, but you need some good luck to be able to see them. Send us an email if you would like to make an inquiry. Cheers! The OS Team
