About this center

PADI 5-Star center at Mae Haad pier, Koh Tao. On-site pool and accommodation, courses from beginner to Divemaster, daily trips to all major sites.

Davy Jones Locker is a PADI 5-Star Dive Center located in the Mae Haad area of Koh Tao, right by the main pier where ferries arrive from the mainland and neighboring islands. This convenient location means divers can start their courses within minutes of stepping off the boat, making it an efficient choice for those with limited time on the island.

The center runs the full spectrum of PADI courses from Discover Scuba Diving through to Divemaster, with specialties including Deep Diver, Enriched Air Nitrox, Wreck Diver, and Night Diver. Freediving courses are also available for those interested in exploring the underwater world on a single breath. The on-site pool allows confined water training in comfortable conditions.

Daily dive boat trips depart to sites around Koh Tao and neighboring Koh Nang Yuan, including Japanese Gardens, Twins, Chumphon Pinnacle, and Southwest Pinnacle. The center's boats are well-equipped with safety gear, camera rinse tanks, and comfortable seating areas. Night dives provide opportunities to spot octopus, cuttlefish, and nudibranchs.

On-site accommodation ranges from dormitory beds to private rooms, and the center's social atmosphere makes it a popular choice for solo travelers. The friendly bar and restaurant area serves as a meeting point for divers, creating a community feel that keeps guests coming back season after season.
