PADI 5 Star dive centre · Koh Kood (Ko Kut), Thailand
Koh Kood Divers is the island's PADI 5 Star Dive Center and dive shop, in Klong Chao since 2008. Learn to dive, get certified, fun dive the reefs and the Koh Rang marine park, or come snorkeling: small groups, our own boat, pick-up from every resort on the island.
Koh Kood, also written Ko Kut, sits at the quiet end of the eastern Gulf of Thailand near the Cambodian border. The reefs around the island and in the Koh Rang marine park are shallow, sheltered and uncrowded: warm water all year, mild currents, and a boat that never carries more than four divers per guide. Beginners try a first dive or learn to dive here easily; certified divers get long, relaxed fun dives with rays, barracuda, seahorses and the occasional turtle, and the HTMS Chang wreck for a day out.

Super friendly dive shop. Seamless onboarding experience, excellent value. We spent an amazing day in the marine park west of Koh Kood. Kudos to Tino, our instructor, who was very professional, knowledgeable and really welcoming.
KKD is where I started my diving courses of OW and AOW four years ago. Still come back every year for great diving. Very nice team, well maintained gear and excellent boat facilities.
Had a great time completing my PADI Open Water course with Koh Kood Divers. Joel was a great instructor. Most definitely one of the best things I've done while travelling!
Dive with the best
In the heart of Klong Chao, on the way to the waterfall. Hotel pick-up included on every trip.
Two boats. Whenever numbers allow, certified divers go out on their own boat, separate from courses and snorkelers, and that boat goes to the best dive sites of the day, with no compromise for beginners or snorkelers. A group of beginners and certified divers who would rather stay together, stays together.
PADI-certified instructors with years on these reefs, gear serviced and logged in-house.
From a child's first bubbles to a divemaster internship, with one team. Fresh-water showers, toilet, shade and lunch on both boats, and staff who speak five languages.
Our courses
Every PADI course from your first try dive to Divemaster, taught in English, German, Dutch, French and Italian, with never more than four students per instructor. Prices include equipment, boat, lunch and hotel pick-up.

Safety first. Every instructor is PADI certified and brings years of experience on these reefs. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced diver, you are in capable hands from the briefing to the last surface interval.
Our location
Yes. Calm, sheltered water, healthy coral reefs between 10 and 20 metres, and the Koh Rang marine park an hour and a half away make it one of the easiest places in Thailand for beginners, and a relaxed one for certified divers: long dives, small groups, no crowds.
No. Beginners start with a Discover Scuba Diving day (3,500 THB) or go straight into the PADI Open Water course (15,500 THB, three or four days), always with a PADI instructor beside them.
Two fun dives for certified divers are 3,500 THB, a try dive 3,500 THB, the Open Water course 15,500 THB and a snorkeling day from 1,000 THB. Every price includes equipment, the boat, lunch and hotel pick-up; the only extra is the Koh Rang park fee, 400 THB per diver in cash.
Reef fish of every colour, rays, barracuda, seahorses, nudibranchs, hard and soft coral, and turtles now and then. At Koh Rang the big schools; on the HTMS Chang wreck, batfish and snappers.
Mid-October to May: dry season, calm seas and the best visibility. We dive all year; in the green season (June to mid-October) the water is still 28 to 30 degrees and we go out whenever the sea allows.
Koh Chang is bigger and busier; Koh Kood is two boats further, has a tenth of the visitors and better reefs on its doorstep. The Koh Rang marine park sits between the two and the HTMS Chang wreck is reachable from both. If diving is the point of the trip, Koh Kood.
