1Choose Koh Tao as a destination first. The availability to dive daily in near perfect conditions is unmatched. Access to assist on all levels of training is also a clear benefit in choosing Koh Tao. Ban’s, being on the heart of Sairee Beach and welcoming thousands of student divers, supports this decision.

2The most qualified PADI Professional is a Course Director and they are best suited to script, monitor and conduct Professional Diver Training. At Ban’s we have 6 full-time, updated and active Course Directors on staff. In addition, you will have a dedicated mentor to guide your daily scheduling and experience.

3Access to two resorts. Both Career Development Centres, the Ban’s family offers you access to two resorts and their respective dive facilities (Ban’s Diving Resort and Assava Diving). At Ban’s you will learn how to manage the largest dive centre on the planet and at Assava you will learn who to cater to guests who want a more boutique experience. In other words, you’ll get the best of both worlds!

4Training facilities. Ban’s offers 4 dive boats, 4 swimming pools, air-conditioned classrooms and up-to-date educational tools while teaching. As a dive professional, not having to worry about your surroundings makes it easier to focus on teaching others.

5Atmosphere. You’ll learn a great deal during professional diver training and learning safe practices is the number one priority…but you should also have fun. Here you’re bound to make lifelong friends and enjoy many festive nights!
