Advice on doing my DiveMaster on Koh Tao

[Craley]

Hi all

Just finished my Rescue Course and planning on doing my DiveMaster around the end of April. I am thinking of going to Koh Tao to do it. I have done all my other diving and certs from Phuket and so want to check out some more dive sites before leaving Thailand with my DiveMaster cert.
Can anyone give me advice on who to do it with on Koh Tao? Anywhere else that is good to do it? Any personal experience that would help me? What I should expect?
Thanks

I think Koh Tao will be great as season switches to the Gulf around May. I did my DMT on Samui. If you can meet the instructor you get paired with before starting the training that may help you make up your mind. I got lucky as I met my instructor after I singed the dotted line and he proved to be first rate. If you want a Samui recommendation PM me. Good luck

I am a Course Director on Koh Tao. I conduct most of the DM training personally at the school I work for. The assisting courses portion would be conducted with one of our pool of instructors.

There are about 40 dive schools here, lots of choice.

Feel free to PM me if you have any questions.

I will not say which school. Take a look at Koh Tao Guide Online,Thailand - Accommodation and diving on Koh Tao for more info on the island.

Choose well!
