Diving School: Did my advanced Open Water here while my girlfriend did her open water. Martin was our instructor and I could not speak more highly of him or the program they put out. An easy going, but very knowledgeable individual, Martin was straight forward making sure we knew everything proper, but making sure we were enjoying ourselves. He taught us very well on how to behave underwater and how to approach, but not destroy underwater reefs and features. The dive masters in training, who were supporting our group, were also very warm and welcoming. The gear was top notch, the boats they use were fantastic, and the training facility was built for schooling. We dove over most the islands in Thailand after, as well as Malaysia (currently going to Indonesia next). I previously dove in Belize, and I just think they have done such a good job at Sairee Cottage and on Koh Tao in general. I would recommend this place to anybody looking to get their cert on Koh Tao.
The stay at the cottage: We utilized the discount on stay since going to the dove school, instantly made the accommodation in our stay range. That’s because we normally go very low on price, and got the cottage with no ac and no heated water. The bungalows were just what we were looking for. The temperature outside wasn’t too hot so sleeping wasn’t bad. The temperature was hot enough to make the I heated shower feel soooo great. The staff was nice and welcoming. - via
