Alvaro is, HANDS DOWN, the best dive operation on Koh Tao!! Went with intentions to get my open water and maybe a freediving course and left with my OW, AOW, EFR, and rescue diver certifications and will return for my DMT hopefully later this year.

My spouse and I have been very pleased to meet all Alvaro staff and would like to thank them for their professionalism, friendship and happiness.
