Hey,

I don't know which dive shop is best, but I happened to go diving with a freelance instructor and it was awesome. It probably isn't true for all freelance guys, but the one I had was great, for the following reasons:

• Has all required PADI certification and takes good care of you throughout the day (which would seem obvious for service you pay for, but sometimes isn't!)
• The guy's been working on this island for 6years, thus knows every dive spot perfectly
• He also knows a pretty good number of dive shops on the island, which comes in handy when you want to go diving somewhere specific the next day and the diveshops you've been looking at aren't going there
• Since he knows the diveshops, he knows how to get reliable equipment and boats anytime
• Has a camera he can take underwater, takes pretty good pictures of wildlife and yourself during your dive, and can sell them to you (+pictures of fish and corals from previous dives if the day's photos don't turn out that great) for a handful of Bahts
• Doesn't charge more than a diveshop
• Every Thai on the island seem to know him, so walking around a little with him can be quite an experience at actually interacting with the locals!

I don't know but it kind of solved the problem of "which diveshop is best" for me!

You can PM me if you want his contact info; I think he's also on facebook as DiveLipe.

Cheers!
