Nitro Dive Center - Koh Tao

Located in the main port of Koh Tao, Nitro Dive Center serves as a professional hub for divers looking to explore the waters of Surat Thani. The centre is built around a commitment to quality instruction and is a dedicated SSI affiliate.

Whether you are here to start your journey with a discovery dive or to advance your technical skills, the centre is positioned to make logistics effortless. With an on-site hostel, bar, and pizza corner, you can transition seamlessly from the boat back to a relaxed environment.

The team consists of international instructors capable of conducting courses in English and Spanish. This multilingual approach ensures that technical instructions and safety briefings are clearly understood by a diverse range of divers.

To maintain a high standard of training, the centre operates with small student-to-guide ratios. You will typically find yourself in a group of only two to four divers, allowing for more personalised attention from your instructor during every session.

The course catalogue covers the full spectrum of SSI certifications. Beginners can start with the Open Water Diver or the Bautismo programme, while those looking to advance can progress through the Advanced Diver and Rescue Diver levels.

For professional paths, the centre offers Divemaster training and the Nitro Instructor Course. Specialized training is also available for those wanting to expand their capabilities through Nitrox certification.

The centre provides high-quality, new rental equipment for those not bringing their own kit. This includes a full range of essential items such as regulators, fins, masks, and wetsuits.

Nitrox is available on-site for divers looking to extend their bottom time. The facility is designed for efficiency, allowing you to focus on your dive profiles rather than logistics.

The local reefs are characterised by vibrant coral reefs and a high density of tropical fish. You can expect to encounter various species including turtles and rays throughout the area.

For those looking for larger pelagics, reef sharks are occasionally sighted in the region.

The best period for diving in this area is from March to September. While diving remains possible during the monsoon season, conditions may vary.
