Had experience with the largest and one of the smaller dive companies on the island. Budha V. where I did my IDC seems very good for doing courses but I wouldn't fun dive there, when the weather and vis are good, they're idea of a fun dive in the afternoon involves the wide selection of Japanese Gardens, White Rock or Twins. I personally avoid they're restaurant in the evenings as it's pretty boring after a couple of nites, a good alternative is ku de Ta up the road which is cheaper for drinks (the Buddha Instructors wont tell you that though!).
Asia Divers in Mae Hadd have been really good with fun dives, they'll always put the dive sites for the next day on the board but the downside is that they do share Buddha View's boat in the afternoons as they're owned by the same family. They do however also run courses at much lower ratios so students get more 1 to 1 attention, they're probably my fav dive centre on the island.
**random note** it's not Sebastian that you need to worry about but the much larger triggerfish on Shark Island. Several attacks and counting!
