Ban's Diving Resort

I can't begin to explain how much I enjoyed my stay at Bans and my Diving course. I did the open water course, advanced open water and Rescue course with Bans and had such a fun time. My instructor for the OW and AOW was Darren,and he was absolutely amazing - he made the course engaging and interesting, and also knew how to keep it light - I haven't laughed so much in a long time! He was also super caring of all of his students - and knew how to tailor the course to the inviduals personal needs. I am forever grateful for the passion for diving he helped me to find, and sincerely reccomend him to anyone who's planning to do the Open water and Advanced Course with Bans. For my Rescue course, I was taught by a very kind, funny and knowledgeable instructor named Carsten. Again, there was just the right amount of laughing and learning, and I had seriously good fun. Besides the great courses that Bans offers, the resort is clean, luxurious and offers lots of things to do. There are four pools, one of which has a cafe next to it (super nice to head down to for a sunbathe and a coffee after diving) and nice restaurant with friendly staff who work very hard. The reception staff were also super friendly and accomodating, and they organised a shuttle bus (free of charge) to take me back to the pier. Therlaundry service for a good price, you can hire scooters to take you round koh tao, there are multiple bans 24 hour shops around the resort, and there is even a little salon on site where you can go to get your nails done or hair cut; bans offers it all. My room was cleaned everyday and had everything you needed in it, and the aircon worked well. It's worth noting that you get these rooms at a discounted price if you do the diving courses with bans. Overall I am super happy with my stay and will never forget my time there! Thank you, Bans :)

I feel so much happy and have fun with this course in this school. The Trainers (Nina and ROJ) are very experienced and teach with care and so much energy. I think i will surly learn about advance course in this place.
