Tripadvisorās approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What travellers are saying
- Susan GBasking Ridge, NJ15 contributionsWe had 2 great days of snorkeling with Adang using local longtails. We had a snorkel guide named Sea that was great and a captain named Nui who was also great. The guides showed us many creatures, was patient and allowed us to stay longer at spots we liked. Also they allowed us to return to a spot we really loved. The dive shop also lent me a weight belt which was very nice of them. Let them know ahead if you need bc it was difficult for them to obtain one at the last minute. Food was great too.Written 23 January 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- BKTHANABangkok, Thailand1 contributionI brought my friends from korea to here again. Last time we were here in 2015, thisntime we did advance open water course. It was a wonderful trip ever! We have a great time and nice hospitility. Staff also are friendly and good take care.I highly recommend Castaway for anyone interested in taking a dive course. The combination of knowledgeable instructors, comprehensive curriculum, emphasis on safety, and excellent facilities made for an outstanding learning experience. I feel confident and excited to continue exploring the underwater world thanks to this course.Written 9 February 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Katharina K1 contributionMy friends and me just watend to try out diving for the first time in our lifes. The first day with two dives was just amazing so we decided to extend our stay at Koh Lipe to do the open water curse. It was one of the best decisions so far. The people were all very friendly and taking good care of us. We even got a german speaking instructor that explained everything very well and made it such a unique and amazing experience! Thanks for that. Loved it and all of us would highly recommend to go there :)Written 17 March 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Susan GBasking Ridge, NJ15 contributionsThank you to the kind lady that runs DJL dive shop. I needed a weight belt and weights for free diving. I emailed several shops and none could provide a weight belt even if I offered to pay. DJL was happy to lend me one with weights for free, emailed me back and even waited after closing time for me! And then the shop I booked my tour with found me one right by my hotel and the DJL lady was fine with me using the other shops belt to avoid return issues. She had waited for me, flagged me down from my taxi and afterward showed me the way back to walking street What a kind, helpful and nice dive shop! Thank you again :))). DJL IS THE BESTšššWritten 23 January 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Michelle4 contributionsWeāve been diving here for almost a week. I did my PADI Open Water course and my boyfriend completed the PADI Rescue Diver course.
It was my first time diving, and my instructor (Pa Pa), really made me feel at ease and safe. He was very relaxed and took plenty of time to make me familiar with the equipment, the theory and the necessary skills. During the course there was a lot of personal attention. Within three days I got certified.
The people/instructors at the diving school are very hospitable, friendly, relaxed and knowledgeable.
The diving spots around the island are really good. Plenty of opportunity to see a lot of nice and colorful fish, such as: Barracudas, Puffer fish, Stone fish, Nemos (also really tiny ones), octopus and plenty more.
I would definitely recommend this place!!
If youāre up for a real -back to basic- experience, you can stay in a bamboo bungalow at the dive resort. There are also more luxurious bungalows, but these are sold out quickly. We supposed to stay at the bamboo huts for three nights but extended our stay by another three nights, because we liked it so muchWritten 20 January 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The fish and the colours under the surface of the turquoise waves is literally another world.
Best day out weāve had on this beautiful island and the staff are lovely too!Written 17 February 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

He managed a trip by took us to Ko Ravi first so there were no other tourists there. We got to take tons of photos and snorkel like itās our private beach! The lunch was delicious served with juicy watermelon. Also if you wanna take time in the island you like you can ask the guide and he will suggest you which island is worth snorkeling and which spot is the highlight. I surely will come back with Truly Andaman again.

- rochi a2 contributionsHey, I went to koh lipe with my boyfriend, we spent 7 days there, lipe is such a beautiful place but it was also such amazing since we did diving with dpm, they are such incredible people, committed with their jobs and super cool. Barba is the best diving instructor Iāve ever met, funny, careful, committed. He loves what he does so that is an extra point about him. Feel lucky if you can meet him, heās such amazing.
I highly recommend doing diving with them you wonāt regret.Written 2 July 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - Katie SVancouver4 contributionsOur instructor was terrible at explaining things and would often wait till we were in the water to sign out instructions. He tested my buoyancy in waist deep water without clearly indicating how long he wanted me to hold my breath for and proceeded to get angry at me and body shame me. He used to be an "over weight" diver too apparently. My friend did an open water course and I did a refresher. Every time I asked a question he would say "you learn diving by diving". He cut us off constantly and blocked a sea turtle. Not someone who makes you feel comfortable or confident in the water. Awful experience.Written 7 July 2016This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
