About Buddha View Dive Centre
Buddha View Dive Centre sits in the quieter southern bay of Chalok Baan Kao on Koh Tao, away from the bustle of Sairee. Operating as a large resort-based dive centre, it combines on-site accommodation, pool training facilities and a dedicated dive shop, making it a popular all-in-one base for visitors who want to live and learn at the same spot.
The centre offers recreational PADI courses for all levels, daily fun dives, and a strong technical and sidemount programme for divers wanting to go deeper and longer. Equipment hire covers everything from standard scuba kit to technical configurations, and boats run to the full spread of Koh Tao and Sail Rock dive sites for both beginners and experienced divers.
Buddha View's differentiator is its breadth: alongside mainstream training it caters seriously to technical diving, freediving and continuing education, supported by its own resort, pool and restaurant. That self-contained setup in laid-back Chalok appeals to divers who prefer a calmer side of the island.
