The Dearly DiveResort

The Dearly Dive is a PADI 5 Star IDC Resort listed on Ko Pha-Ngan, though its own text speaks of Koh Tao and more than 20 dive sites around the island. Courses run from Open Water through Rescue Diver to Divemaster, and there is a Discover Scuba Diving program for people who just want to try it.

An in-house pool lets students get comfortable with the gear before heading out to sea. Certified divers can join fun dives, and conservation programs are part of the mix. The team works in English and Thai.
