of the pool or you go out in the ocean.”

–Christopher Reeve

The Dive Academy

The Dive Academy is an English-owned PADI 5-Star Instructor Development Centre based on the paradise island of Koh Samui. It opened in 2005, and we quickly became recognized for their exceptionally high standards of customer service and diver training that they still uphold today. It is the only PADI dive center on Koh Samui that is still owned and managed by the original owner, who, over the years, has made sure that the level of quality of their dive Instructors is as good as ever.

Their dive crew is arguably the best and most experienced on the island and gives the best customer service and quality training around. And with years of combined experience in Instructing dive courses, they also know how to make the most of your precious time underwater. They also have experienced and friendly staff who can teach in a number of languages, including English, German, Italian, Spanish, Russian, and French.
