About New Way Diving

New Way Diving on Koh Tao offers a range of diving experiences, from beginner courses to advanced dives. However, the quality of these experiences can vary greatly. Some visitors have reported issues with equipment and safety, while others have praised the professionalism and friendliness of the staff.

One visitor reported multiple equipment failures during their dives, including regulators that were leaking or failing. This led to some dangerous situations, including one where a diver ran out of air during a safety stop. The visitor also reported that the boat was overcrowded and lacked adequate shade or seating. The ladder steps were slanted the wrong way, making it difficult for divers to get back onto the boat. The captain was described as unfriendly and unhelpful, and there were issues with the dive groups being too large and not having enough experienced dive masters.

Despite these negative experiences, many other visitors have had positive experiences with New Way Diving. They praised the professionalism of the staff and the quality of the equipment. One visitor, who dove with New Way about thirty times over the course of a month, said that they were given good advice on proper weighting and other diving techniques. They also appreciated the small group sizes and the personalized attention they received.

Another visitor praised the patience and friendliness of the New Way Diving team. They felt comfortable and included, and appreciated the thoroughness of the classroom learning. They were very happy with their choice to get their open water certification with New Way Diving.

Other visitors have also had positive experiences with the staff at New Way Diving. They praised the instructors for making them feel safe and comfortable, and for providing plenty of one-on-one time to learn and practice skills. They also appreciated the variety of dives and the enthusiasm of the guides.

The dive shop itself has also received positive feedback. Visitors have described it as friendly and welcoming, with a team that tries to accommodate the preferences of the divers. They also appreciated the convenience of not having to carry their own bags, as the team helps with that.

Some visitors have chosen New Way Diving for their initial training because they do it in the ocean rather than a pool. They also appreciated the responsiveness of the staff to their questions and the opportunity to study the lessons online beforehand. They praised the instructor for his patience and for teaching them how to set up their tanks.

In conclusion, while there have been some negative experiences reported at New Way Diving, many visitors have had positive experiences. They have praised the professionalism and friendliness of the staff, the quality of the equipment, and the variety of dives offered. However, potential visitors should be aware of the potential issues with equipment and safety.
