About
AquaTao is a French-run SSI dive centre in Mae Haad on Koh Tao, opened in December 2012 by Coco and DJ. The team of two to five instructors teaches in English, French, Spanish and Thai, and works with its own Thai captain and deckhand. The centre runs its own boat, the Aqua-Boat, built for diving: shaded gear-up area, marine toilet and freshwater shower, upper sun deck, onboard Bauer Mariner compressor, medical oxygen and full navigation equipment. Two trips leave every day, the morning one for experienced divers and the afternoon one for beginners, plus a night dive in the evening. Groups stay small: five divers on fun dives, four on courses. Regular sites include Chumphon Pinnacle, South West Pinnacle, White Rock and Shark Island, with a weekly day trip to Sail Rock. Courses cover the whole SSI ladder: Try Scuba and Scuba Diver, Open Water in three versions (Express, Classic, Premium), Advanced to 30 m, the Deep, Nitrox, Wreck, Navigation, Buoyancy and Night specialties, Stress & Rescue and React Right, up to Divemaster, Zero to Hero and the Instructor Training Course. Equipment and insurance are included in the dive prices; a dive computer can be rented for THB 300 per trip. The club has dropped single-use plastics, recycles on the boat and briefs every diver on reef-safe habits and coral-friendly sunscreen.
