ABOUT THE FOUNDER

The ocean has always been my path.

Iris Palmeirim de Alfarra - Founder of Dive In Koh Tao

I was born in Portugal and studied Marine Biology at the Universidade do Algarve. Over the years, I traveled, worked and managed dive schools across the world — from Honduras, Greece, the Philippines, Indonesia and Thailand to the cold waters of Poland. Today, as a Marine Biologist and Instructor Trainer, I bring all of that experience together to build Dive In Koh Tao: a place focused on quality training, marine education and meaningful ocean experiences. I speak Portuguese, English, French and Spanish.

EDUCATE • INSPIRE • PROTECT

Learning while having fun.

To help divers better understand marine ecosystems and ocean life, I also created an educational card game focused on connection, conservation and curiosity. The deck is available in our shop at Dive In Koh Tao — or contact us for more information.
