We had our first ever experience of scuba diving in April with Bophut Diving School as part of our honeymoon. The team were fantastic and made us feel really welcome and at ease. In particular, our instructor Linita made us feel very safe and made sure we enjoyed our 2 dives. We did the Discover Scuba Dive this time round... More

An excellent team of people that go all out to make you feel comfortable. I have a tendency to get very nervous but Liam had the patience of a saint (not the usual attribute you would expect from a boy from Possil LOL). I had 2 good dives at a wonderful dive site - Sail Rock, Thailand. Our group was... More

Spent a day with the Bophut diving school in March2013. Had never been scuba-diving before this, therefore was slightly apprehensive however the instructors were very friendly and put me at ease. Was given a brief overview, before getting the equipment together and getting in the water, instructor Carl was very attentive and stayed within close proximity till we felt comfortable.... More

The dive school is staffed by at team of very professional instructors who are patient and make safety their number one priority. I completed my PADI open water diving cert here, and enjoyed every moment of it. The staff tailored the pace of the course to ensure that it was never dull and frequently threw in questions and challenges to... More

Dived/dove with BDS in February 2013 as part of Open Water certification. Instructor Lanita focused on making this a safe and practical learning experience. The different personalities at the shop and on the boat made it fun as well. Echoing other reviewers' comments, the Bophut team is keen to provide an optimal customer experience for everyone, even at the expense... More

Went diving to ko Tao with these guys in jan 2013. They were very friendly and professional from the second we walked in the shop. Small groups of divers with each instructor and thorough dive briefings made it a really enjoyable experience. The boat was nice and all equipment was in good condition. The instructors were brilliant. Boat trip to... More

We had a great time diving with Bophut diving center. Although I have been diving in Samui for years, this was my first time with them. The crew was really nice, and even though at times things seemed to be a bit disorganized, everything went really well in the end, and they accomodated for all our wishes. Instructors/divemasters were amazing,... More
