While you are welcome to use Simple Life’s equipment for bulkier pieces of equipment that are difficult to travel with, working dive pros are expected to have a complete set of equipment themselves. A complete set of equipment includes: fins, mask, snorkel, BCD, regulator, dive computer, exposure protection, audible signalling device, compass, cutting tool, SMB and reel.
The suitability of one piece of equipment over another will vary based on location and the type of diving you expect to be doing, for a guide to suitable equipment for teaching in tropical environments such as Thailand you can check out Course Director Julian’s yearly dive gear guide.

The major equipment companies are all present here on Koh Tao and we can help you arranging discounts on any equipment you would like to purchase here on the island.
