A small dive school, right on the beach, since 1999
Calypso Diving is a family-run dive school in Tanote Bay, a calm and unspoilt bay on Koh Tao, just ten minutes by scooter from the Mae Haad pier and Sairee village. We have been training divers here since 1999, with the same idea: take the time, in a small group.
In practice that means groups of four people maximum, small dive teams, and instructors who have been here for years and are passionate about marine life. No conveyor-belt courses, no party atmosphere: we are here so you learn well and truly enjoy it.
We also have our own way of doing things. Our boat leaves later than the others, heading to the east coast of the island, to stay away from the other schools and have the dive sites all to ourselves. And because Tanote Bay beach is so well suited to children, we welcome a lot of families.
Whether you have never put your head underwater, are getting back into it after years, or are an experienced diver looking for new spots, you are in the right place. Our team speaks four languages (German, English, French and Spanish), we are an SSI-certified centre, insurance is included in every course, and prices are displayed with no small print.
