Very well run dive operation. Quality guides and first class boats. Safe practices by staff. Dive sites good but not world class. Unusual Whale Shark sighting the day before still fresh in the mind of those who had been out with the Academy crew the prior day

I am writing this response to the response I got from The Dive Academy about how the smoking of the divers and especially their staff ruined my dive trip (see below for a few days ago. The Dive Academy answer essentially said you try to accommodate everyone and the is all dive tours in Thailand.
Today I went to same Marine Park on an Island hopping tour, the same amount of time on the same type of boat. Not a single staff member or patron smoked.
The trip was awesome (run by KS Ruang Sri).
To the Dive Academy: You totally missed the point. Your staff sets the example. Most of your staff on the boat were chain smokers. I went on your tour to enjoy diving and enjoy fresh CLEAN salty air. I did not pay for to breath secondhand smoke from your staff. You are the employer and set the rules. Your staff's cigarette addiction is just that, their addiction. If your staff cannot handle not smoking than you need new staff. Simply saying that is the way it is Thailand, is not good enough.

Wir haben unseren Sohn, der taucht nach Koh Tao begleitet und sind dort geschnorchelt. Beides wurde von Beginn an höchst professionell behandelt. Die Buchung, Abholung vom Hotel, Einführung und die Fahrt mit dem Schnellboot - alles super. Sowohl die beiden Tauchgänge als auch unsere Schnorchel-Eindrücke haben begeistert. Nettes und hilfsbereites Team, guter Lunch und auf dem Heimweg gab es vor Samui noch Delfine. Ein rundum gelungener Tag, herzlichen Dank dafür!
