Super good diving - Great trip! Everything worked smoothly, from pick-up to drop-off at the hotel. We were two divers on an instructor. It was a good fauna with lots of fish and many different species. We also had the amazing luck to dive with a whale shark!!!

Fantastic service, great dive leaders and lots of fish. - Fantastic service! I booked last minute the night before and they were there to answer questions and check details, and to proactively recommend which trip would be best. Very organised outfit, great diving and safety. And the most enormous shoal of fish out at sail rock. I wish I had time for more.

First dive in 19 yrs - Having not dived for 19yrs, I nervously decided to take the plunge and go for it again. I booked the 2 dive trip to sail rock which incorporated a refresher dive for obvious reasons. I was fortunate to be paired to with an instructor on a 1 to 1 basis. I found O'Too to be very positive and encouraging, his explanations were clear and concise, the reassurance he exudes allowed me to rediscover my old skills. This culminated in me probably having the best two dives ever in terms of quantity and variety of sealife. Sail rock in itself is great just for the features and the chimney. I would not hesitate to book again. With discovery diving. I found the whole team to be friendly and polite, and encouraging which lead to a great day. The ratio if instructors to clients was good. I would thoroughly recommend discovery diving.

Cool dive site with BEAUTIFUL massive schools of fish like you’ve never seen! - My husband and I did this knowing that it was only his 4th real dive post certification. Deon was amazing, and really helped give him tips to help him get more comfortable during the dive! He was also SO helpful for me too as I wasn’t used the the choppiness at the surface and ended up getting motion sickness. When Deon took us through the dives, he was so patient and helpful in the water and we got to see some INCREDIBLE schools of fish in crazy numbers doing these beautiful formations in the water. At one point, a marlin swam by and the fish literally made the water vibrate which was such a cool experience. The visibility was okay but that’s just how it goes at Sail Rock, things change daily! Would highly recommend if you love diving as the site offers so many interesting marine life to look at!!

Great experience and easy refresher course - We had a really great experience with the Discovery Dive Centre. My husband and I are certified but hadn't dived for 4 years so we booked a refresher, which involved some basic skills as part of the first dive (easy to book online). Our instructor Dion was so great and made me feel really confident and capable. Sail rock had an amazing coral reef and lots of fish. The day we went had a strong current and was pretty wavey on the boat, so be sure to take sea sickness meds if you need them! I would 100% recommend!

Great Dive Experience! - I had two amazing dives at Sail Rock, much better than I expected since we had cloudy skies and there was heavy rain the previous day. Multiple very large schools of fish everywhere I looked for both dives. Our dive guide Otillio was great. Very enthusiastic and very knowledgeable. A very good boat with a sun shade covering the whole boat. There were three other groups in the boat but it never felt crowded. And the crew were great helping us get in and out of the water. Definitely recommend Discovery Divers!!

The perfect one (Safety) stop for all Divers - As a seasoned diver I have used a fair few different operators over the years and I can honestly say that Discovery divers is right up there with the best of them.
We had 2 open water students in the family that were treated amazingly well,Filipe deserves special mention, his enthusiasm, calm nature and superb teaching style really did make the difference.
Once our trainees had qualified, we all went on a 2 tank dive day around Ko Toa. Filipe was our guide on this trip and again he demonstrated excellent local knowledge of the site and his ability to find small gems such as nudibranchs was stunning. Our transport to and from the island was a fast and comfortable speed boats. Lunch was delicious and the complimentary drinks are a nice touch. The boat was well equipped with safety equipment and the crew provided what felt like an enjoyable and safe environment to travel in.
Only small downside is the space for personal stuff on the boat, but that's a fair trade for the speed that you can get to Ko Tao etc (I did this trip 20 years ago it took 4 hours each way!) There is space at the bow for sitting and enjoying the view, can be used most of the time unless it gets a bit choppy.
Rental equipment is of a high standard, and the whole trip was very good value for money in my opinion.
Overall, I would be more than happy to dive with Discovery divers again, and I intend to later this week.

Great Guides, Huge Schools of Fish, Perfect 1/2 day out! - This dive trip was super well organised and the crew and guides were great. I signed up online for the dive the night before the trip and the team emailed me to arrange pick-up. The driver showed up at the precise time indicated and the ride to the jetty was smooth despite the dreary weather. The ride to the site was rough but the dives were amazing - huge schools of fish, great guides, totally worth it.
