We’re a friendly team of passionate dive professionals based in Koh Tao, Thailand, one of the world’s top diving spots. Our mission is simple: to provide high-quality scuba training and amazing dive experiences in a relaxed, supportive setting.

Whether it’s your first breath underwater or your first steps toward becoming a dive pro, we’ll guide you every step of the way. We focus on quality over quantity; small groups, personalized instruction, and the highest safety standards.

Our approach is built around three things:

  • Smart diving: teaching real-world skills that make you a confident diver.
  • Positive energy: keeping every dive relaxed, fun, and full of good vibes.
  • Professional care: maintaining the highest safety standards, equipment, and service.

We don’t just teach diving; we help you fall in love with the ocean.

Our Values

At Funky Turtle Divers, we believe great diving starts with great people. Our values guide everything we do, both above and below the surface:  

Book diving courses

1. Safety First, Always.

Diving should be adventurous but never risky. Every course we teach and every dive we run is planned with safety as our top priority.

2. Quality Over Quantity.

We keep our groups small so we can give you personal attention, clear instruction, and the space to learn at your own pace.

3. Professionalism with Personality.

We’re serious about diving, but we’re never serious all the time. We believe learning should be relaxed, fun, and filled with good energy.

4. Growth & Progress.

From first-time Try Divers to Instructor candidates, we’re here to help you grow. Every course is designed to build confidence, skill, and passion.

5. Respect for the Ocean.

We live by the ocean and take care of it. Our team leads by example, promoting sustainable practices both in and out of the water.

Our Environmental Promise

Protect what you love. Dive responsibly.

The ocean gives us everything—adventure, purpose, and peace. In return, we believe it’s our responsibility to protect it.

At Funky Turtle Divers, we’re committed to:

  • Eco-friendly operations: We reduce single-use plastics, recycle waste, and maintain energy-efficient facilities.
  • Reef-safe diving: Our instructors teach neutral buoyancy and responsible finning techniques to protect coral life.
  • Ocean-safe products: We use and promote reef-safe sunscreen and cleaning products.
  • Local conservation: We support island clean-ups, coral restoration, and environmental education projects on Koh Tao.
  • Education through action: Every diver we train leaves with the knowledge to dive sustainably and respect the underwater world.

We believe responsible diving is smart diving, and every Funky Turtle diver becomes part of the solution.
