French Kiss Divers, Koh Tao

First opened in 2012, French Kiss Divers is an SSI affiliated dive school that focuses on the Francophone traveller market who come to Koh Tao, Thailand.

Although it is a smaller dive school, French Kiss Divers has provided a name for itself for all the different training opportunities they offer in the diving field. Beginning divers can get their open water and advanced certification, all taught by one of the experienced dive instructors in small groups with a maximum of 4 people. Families with young children are welcome to take part in training as French Kiss has several sets of children’s gear and tanks for use. The confined skills training is often done in one of the many shallow bays on Koh Tao, which allows dive students to get used to the underwater environment from the beginning. The dive school has its own private boat that leaves from the beach in front of the dive school. In the morning, the boat goes out for a 2-dive trip that is geared for fun divers or students completing their training as the dive sites are deeper. The boat goes out again in the afternoon for shallower dives more suited for skills training and beginners.

French Kiss Divers have plenty of scuba opportunities on Koh Tao and at their international locations in Indonesia and the Philippines.

French Kiss Divers - Koh Tao Diving School

Besides beginning SSI training, travellers who have more time can start their path to becoming a professional as a divemaster or SSI instructor. Opportunities for instructor training occur monthly. French Kiss also does crossovers from PADI instructor to SSI instructor and can be done over a few days. Something else that sets this dive school apart from others is its affiliation with Fédération Française d’Études et de Sports Sous-Marins (FFESSM). FFESSM is an internationally recognised certification that provides divers with more opportunities in training and depth. French Kiss is the only dive school on Koh Tao that offers this specialised training.

With its family-orientated atmosphere, small group training at the beginning level, instructor certification, and even technical diving, French Kiss Divers have plenty of scuba opportunities on Koh Tao and at their international locations in Indonesia and the Philippines. Amusez-vous bien à plonger!
