Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

From the outset, both co-owners, Jesper and Will were friendly and informative. They were able to negotiate a deal on decent, very reasonably priced accommodation directly opposite their dive centre, which was very handy. They offered tips on where to visit and eat on the island. The quality of the equipment was very good.
Chris and Ana, two of the dive trainers were both first class. I couldn’t recommend them highly enough. They were professional, friendly, super supportive and informative, very patient and highly skilled. This was true of some of the other trainers I met along the way too. It was noticeable that Ocean Sound was a very well established and popular choice with great, focused students. There were only 2 students in my group for the PADI Open Water Course and I spent a day with just Chris and a day with Ana to enjoy 1-1 tutoring on the advanced course, so it couldn’t have been better. I was also picking up hints and tips and offers of support from other Ocean Sound tutors. We were taught a wide range of diving skills. I wouldn’t compromise… if you want the best on the island choose Ocean Sound. I promise you won’t be disappointed. I couldn’t fault them in anyway.

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

100/10 would recommend Ocean Sound, especially their instructor Les! I had a fantastic experience for my Open Water + Advance Open Water with them and I’ve left Koh Tao with 16 dives and a new confidence as a scuba diver. Everyone at the shop was welcoming and their equipment was well-maintained.
Les is phenomenal in making his students feel comfortable and capable in the water — making the whole learning process easy and rewarding.
Plus, they have a wonderful cat on their dive boat that no other boat has! ❤️

I can’t be more grateful to Ocean Sound, but especially Toni, our instructor for joining us in our Open Water certification. If you are in Koh Tao and are thinking of diving, do not hesitate, this is your place.
6 months ago I tried to do a phi-phi baptism that didn’t go well, so I got a lot of respect and some fear of diving. I had the spine stuck and wanted to try again as a personal challenge, although I had a thousand doubts if I would be able to.
My partner, brother-in-law and I arrived at this school almost by chance, but encouraged by the good reviews and recommendations of our hotel we met them.
After a brief chat we connected with them, Will's serenity and calm and willingness to help, let us know we were in the right place. And on top of that they had an instructor in Spanish, something that was essential to me.
Toni was by far the best instructor we could have had, I honestly think without him I wouldn't have been able to get my certification. Not only did he teach us to perform all the skills in a clear and concise way, clearing up any doubts we might have and repeating them as many times as it took, but he had incredible patience with me whenever I became overwhelmed. He was hand in hand with us (a real luxury), watching us all the time, super attentive, calming me every moment and motivating me to move on and leave my fears behind. It also made both the learning process and the dives super safe and super fun. Thanks for the good vibe, we enjoyed it so much!!
Swimming pool practices are great for getting used to equipment and breathing underwater, and give less of an impression when doing skills at sea.
The last two dives were one of the most beautiful moments of my life. Thank you to the entire Ocean Sound team and thank you infinitely Toni for discovering this beautiful world underwater 💙🩵👌🏻🪸

Anyone searching online for diving schools in Ko Tao will see that Ocean Sound is one of the top favorites, and rightly so! Jesper and Ruta showed genuine interest and gratitude from the first minute, which quickly broke the ice. Ruta, my divemaster for the PADI Open Water, has a lot of knowledge and knows how to present the matter in a clear and pleasant way. You immediately notice that Ruta is extremely passionate about diving and that Ruta wants to convey this to her students, and with success! After I obtained my PADI Open Water, Ruta, with her infectious enthusiasm, convinced me without any difficulty to continue with my Advanced Open Water. Wow, wow, wow, diving is so cool! In addition to being introduced to diving, you also come into contact with other like-minded people, from which I have made wonderful friendships and conversations. When I wasn't feeling well the afternoon after my last dive, Jesper even took me to the nearest hospital without batting an eyelid and picked me up again. Diving is a social activity and that becomes very clear at Ocean Sound.
Thanks Ruta, Superruta, Jesper and the rest! I will definitely come back in the future!

Yesterday I completed my PADI open water course at OceanSound! At the beginning I was positively terrified, I did not know what to expect and was scared of my anxiety getting the best of me whilst underwater, but I ended up having some of the best days of my life!! From the moment we stepped inside the staff welcomed us warmly and openly, making my first set of nerves go away quickly. Our instructor, Les, had a way of making me truly feel like everything was going to be okay :) He was kind and comforting through the whole thing, guiding us through the harder parts and being patient and calm when it didnt go as planned! Once we got arround to the last dive I felt like I was flying, we did some flips under water and other fun activities, it was amazing :) We had such a nice time that we immediately signed up for the night dive the same day we got our certificates, once again having Les to guide us through it all and making it great and comfortable! I would definitely recommend OceanSound for your dives, itll be an experience youll never forget <3

Passed my PADI today, thanks to the fun and educational lessons of instructor Les! Les is a cheerful and energetic instructor. An instructor who believes in his students and therefore creates a nice bond of trust, he also has a lot of patience and is there to give you that extra push when he sees that you need it. You do not have to ask for this yourself Lesson a talented instructor who immediately sees what his students need. A year ago I was afraid of fishing, but every holiday / trip I want to go out of my comfort zone and with the open water course I certainly succeeded! Also because the course was in English and this is not my own language.
In short a super experience I can't wait to literally and figuratively dive further into the world. GO TEAM DSD ocean sound dive is the dive school you should be at!!

Ocean Sound was great throughout all of my trip, from support to my itinerary, the Open Water dive course and the Yoga classes in the evening. The crew and instructors are so attentive that it removes any insecurities I had before the course. Les, in particular, was so knowledgeable and patient! If you are looking for a dive shop in Koh Tao, this is the one!

We completed the Open Water course here. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We felt very comfortable and our needs were always taken into account. We would recommend Ocean Sound Dive to everyone. The price-performance ratio is 100% right. A big thank you to Josie (our diving instructor), Sam and Will!

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'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

Written 3 April 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
