Koh Tao is one of the world's most popular dive destinations. The island itself is a place of beauty, and, with over 30 Dive Sites, some as close as 5 minutes away, the marine life is plentiful.

There is a turtle breeding and release program based on the island, which means there is increasing frequency of turtles. Not only this, there are also regular sighting of Whale Sharks, as well as a huge amount of varied marine life and corals that make Koh Tao an absolute pleasure for all levels.

When you join the Koh Tao scuba course many people don’t know what to expect, and for many it can be a life changing moment. To breathe underwater and discover what you may have been missing out on is incredible.

But more than that, there is the incredible feeling of being weightless, as well as the tranquility of the peace underwater. It can become so addictive for some people that they often join our Koh Tao Dive Internships, after which you attain the first level of PADI Professional diver, which is the largest diving agency in the world .

Conducting the Koh tao dive internship with New Way Diving means that you will be a comfortable, confident diver capable of conducting all divemaster duties, from leading divers on underwater tours through to assisting with students in training and being responsible for a whole boat logistics.

On top of this, New Way Diving try to get all of our Divemaster Trainees involved with our reef conservation programs and regular underwater clean-ups to help remove waste from the water.
