Visitor Reviews
Amazing Dive Experience to Sail Rock with Discovery Divers! My daughter and I had an absolutely fantastic time diving with Discovery Divers to Sail Rock. From start to finish, the entire experience was super well-organized. The pick-up was prompt, checking in was seamless, and the briefings were clear and comprehensive. Our dive master was amazing, truly focused on ensuring we had a great experience both in and out of the water. And wow, what can I say about Sail Rock? It's an incredible dive site, absolutely packed with marine life – a truly unforgettable dive! The travel to and from the site was comfortable, and the lunch provided was delicious. We were also impressed by the international team on board; it was great to have options for communication in English, Chinese, French, and Thai. I would definitely dive with Discovery Divers again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a top-notch diving adventure in Koh Samui!
This was my first scuba diving EVER! And Discovery Divers made sure it was a memorable one!!! Review is for July 2019. Great experience. The staff is very well trained and polite. Me and my wife had a dedicated professional diver with us at all times. 2 dives which lasted for around 50 minutes each. The first was in comparatively shallow waters, while the other one was in deep waters. Saw lots of fish and corals during the dives. No turtles unfortunately. :( They serve lunch as well on the boat itself, between the two dives. Ample time to relax and complete all planned activities. They do take photos of your dives and ask to sign up to receive the photos on your email, AT NO EXTRA COST! Tip: Try and ask for 'Kid' to be your guide during the diving sessions! He was our guide and this guy is just too good, plus he was the most experienced one as well!
Very friendly, experienced, multilingual and professional staff who will look after you very well. Large choice of rental equipment in good condition. Getting to the dive sites is a fair hike on the boat as they are not in Koh Samui but closer to and around Koh Tao. "Sail Rock", the most famous dive site in the area, takes about 50 mins on their speed boat, while Chumpon Pinnacle takes 90 min. So be prepared for a bit of a journey back and forth which is also reflected in the price for diving off Koh Samui. But if you go diving while on Koh Samui, this is the dive shop to do it with! I spent 4 fabulous days with them, and managed to see a whale shark on day 3, yeehaa! This is the 4th time i have been diving with Discovery Divers over the years and on 3 out of the 4 managed to see a whale shark,....soooo happy! ;-)

Tips for Visiting Transportation
Take the Sleeper Train at Least Once
The Bangkok-to-Chiang Mai overnight train in a second-class sleeper berth is a bucket-list experience. Book at least a week ahead via 12Go.asia or at Hua Lamphong station. Upper berths are cheaper and have more headroom; lower berths have a window.
Use Grab Everywhere
Grab is the Uber of Southeast Asia and works across Thailand for cars, motorbike taxis, and even tuk-tuks in some cities. It eliminates haggling and provides fare estimates upfront. Load a Thai SIM or use eSIM to stay connected.
Rent Scooters Carefully
Always photograph the scooter's existing damage before riding off, and keep your passport — give a photocopy instead (some shops insist on the original; avoid these). Wear a helmet; police fine 500 THB for no helmet and accidents without one void insurance.
