Your Journey
We'll meet at our dive center in Koh Lipe at 9:30 am, where one of our certified instructors will greet you and give you a warm welcome. You'll receive a simple, clear introduction to scuba diving — how the gear works, how to move underwater, and how to stay safe and confident throughout the experience.
Once you've learned the basics, we'll take a break to enjoy a freshly prepared Thai meal to recharge your energy.
After lunch, we'll board our comfortable boat and head into Tarutao National Marine Park. Our destination is a calm, shallow bay — ideal for your very first dive.
Guided every step of the way by your instructor, you'll descend to a maximum of 12 meters, exploring colorful coral gardens and spotting tropical fish in a safe, relaxed environment.
If you find yourself wanting more (and most people do!), you can choose to add a second dive for just 1,000 THB. That extra dive gives you the chance to feel even more comfortable in the water and discover a different reef area — a great way to make the most of your day in this underwater paradise.
We'll finish by returning to the dive center at around 4:45 pm, leaving you with unforgettable memories… and possibly a brand-new passion!
Our dive boat is spacious, comfortable, and designed with divers in mind. It offers a smooth ride, space to gear up with ease, and a rooftop area to relax between dives. Easy and practical, it makes your diving day smoother, more social, and a lot more enjoyable.
Insights from our divers
Had 2 fundives with Armand. The dive sights were really nice, aswell as Armand and the other staff. Would definitely recommend this Dive School!
Non a caso sono tornato da loro! Dopo koh tao è stata la volta di koh lipe. Stessa scuola,stesse vibes! I ragazzi simpatici,professionali e affidabili mi hanno aiutato in tutto ciò di cui ho avuto bisogno. In particolar modo ringrazio il mio istruttore Kile, che è stato molto gentile e mi ha aiutato a mettermi a mio agio, sia dentro che fuori dal mare! Non posso che ringraziarvi e consigliare La Bombona diving!
I did the try dive and it was an absolutely unforgettable experience! The team makes everything to make it smooth and safe for the first-timers. I appreciated the time they took to explain every detail and ensure everyone is at ease. While the first dive is a little technical as you need to get used to the gear and technics, the second one is incredible! The reef so rich and beautiful. And I recommend take the photos too. Beautiful souvenir.
Gente súper bien preparada a nivel material, profesional y muy cercanos. El sitio de buceo esta brutal y el barco desde se hacen las inmersiones una gozada. Por otro lado creo q no hay muchos sitios donde te hablen español aparte del inglés y se agradece. Totalmente recomendable 👌
Wir haben mit La Bombona Diving unseren Explorer 30 (äquivalent zu Advanced Open Water) absolviert und sind überglücklich mit der Wahl der Tauchschule! Das ganze Team ist großartig und herzlich. Unser Tauchlehrer Armand hat alles bestens erklärt, gutes Feedback gegeben und dabei immer auf uns geachtet. Die Zertifizierung von RAID (Explorer 30) fanden wir persönlich qualitativ und technisch besser als die von PADI (Advanced Open Water). La Bombona Diving hat zudem ein eigenes kleines Schiff, damit waren wir flexibler mit den Tauchorten und es gab eine schöne familiäre Atmosphäre.
Ich hatte 10 Mega tolle Tauchgänge Sie planen die Abfahrzeiten und Tauchseiten nach den Gezeiten und starte früh am Morgen So hatten wir die Divesites fast immer für uns alleine und mit meist geringer Strömung. Da es nur ein kleines süßes Boot ist sind es nicht so viele Personen. Danke für die tolle Zeit
I can highly recommend it, nice riffs, nice people and you’ll definitely have a great time with bombona diving :)
I booked a try dive with this operator and it was such a great time! We were a small group of three girls (for try dives they take max 4 people per trip) which was very comfortable. As we additionally booked their photographer we had two professionals with us. Both taught us a lot about diving and the marine life. Even thought we were beginners we could enjoy a real diving experience in the sea around lipe with two stops. I loved everything! Thank you for the amazing day.
«Try dive» var virkelig en av de beste dagene meg og venninnen min har hatt på turen vår! Så utrolig gøy og instruktørene gjorde opplevelsen veldig trygg! Hadde vi hatt flere dager på koh lipe hadde vi 100% tatt dykker sertifikatet her!
Loved diving with La Bombona <3 I did two fun dives, my instructor Sergio and the whole staff were so sweet, helpful and professional. Boat was comfy, lunch was a great bonus, and the dive sites were innncredible – my best dive so far! Would’ve loved to dive more with them if I had more time, highly recommend
The adventure doesn’t end with the Try Dive! Inspired by the underwater world? If you start your Open Water Course right after the try dive we’ll sweeten the deal with a discount. Many skills you’ll practice in the Try Dive are foundations for the Open Water Course, making your journey into the depths even more seamless. ฿ 15,000
Yes — there's no swim test for a Try Dive. With a maximum of 2 people per instructor, you start in calm, shallow water where you can simply stand up, and your instructor stays right beside you for the whole dive.
Your first dive goes to a maximum of 12 metres, always at your pace. Most of the magic in Koh Lipe — corals, clownfish, turtles — lives well above that depth anyway.
Yes! If you loved it (most people do), you can add an optional second dive for ฿1,000 on the same trip.
You can try diving from age 10. There's no upper age limit as long as you're in good health.
Nothing but swimwear and a towel — all diving equipment is included, and so are lunch and snacks on the boat.
Just the Tarutao Marine Park fee (฿200 per diving day), the mandatory dive insurance (70 THB) and the optional second dive (฿1,000). No other surprises.
