About
The Dive Academy is a PADI 5-Star Center based in Bophut, Koh Samui, Thailand, running daily boat trips and dive courses from the island. Their day trips cover the main dive and snorkel destinations reachable from Samui: Koh Tao (diving Mondays/Thursdays/Saturdays, snorkeling the same days), Sail Rock (diving Sundays/Tuesdays/Wednesdays/Fridays), Chumphon Pinnacles (Mondays/Thursdays/Saturdays), and Ang Thong Marine Park by request for both diving and snorkeling. Trips include hotel transfer, on-board lunch, soft drinks and full equipment, with a discount offered for divers who bring their own gear and for bookings made a week in advance. On the training side, they run the full PADI ladder from Discover Scuba Diving and Scuba Diver through Open Water, Advanced Open Water, Emergency First Response, Rescue Diver, Nitrox specialty and Divemaster. The center highlights the marine life around Koh Tao (soft and hard corals, turtles, moray eels, and black-tip reef sharks) as a key draw for its day-trip guests.
