Simple Life Divers

On Sairee Beach, Simple Life Divers is Koh Tao’s long‑running PADI 5* dive resort where backpackers become divers and divers sharpen their skills. Drop by from 9am for course sign‑ups, gear checks and trip briefings; by late afternoon the shop hums with post‑dive logbooks and salty smiles. They run PADI courses from first splash to pro along with daily dive tours around the island, plus longer dive internships if you want to hang around and rack up experience. The setup is relaxed and beach‑front, with the convenience of their sister Simple Life Resorts nearby if you want a room steps from the sand. Practicalities: the shop sits right on Sairee Beach, a short ride from Mae Haad Pier and an easy walk to sunset bars and cheap eats. It’s open daily 9am–6:30pm.
