Yes, I recommend this program

Can’t recommend enough!

Cannot recommend this programme enough! The dive teaching is exemplary, the method of supporting coral reefs is clear and feels gratifying, and the staff are super welcoming and friendly- lots to do in free time and special shout out to Jade and Ciara who lead the programme for their support and joy every step of the way!
From what I’ve seen, what makes Roctopus stand out are its incredible conservation department and it’s diving community, which is an amazing way to explore what the island has to offer.

What was the most surprising thing you saw or did?
Diving in Koh tao is some of the best in the world and what you see will stick with you forever.
