1000000/10 experience!!! I would 100% recommend if you’re thinking about it. We had an absolute blast. We had never gone scuba diving before but our guide was super thorough and informative, it was amazing. Can’t say enough good things!!!
It was great fun! It's perfect for people trying diving for the first time. We got to see some fish even though we were right by Kata Beach! Our guides made videos for us for free, too, and we enjoyed it 😊 I would definitely recommend it!
I absolutely loved this scuba diving experience from start to finish. I chose this tour because it was the only one in Phuket that offered a two-hour shore dive for beginners, instead of a full-day tour like most other options here. I was very pleasantly surprised by the level of attention and overall quality of the experience. The diving spots were great even though we started from the beach, still got to see many fish and beautiful sea life. The equipment was excellent and very well maintained. Because I was the only diver, the instructor gave me truly personal care, making sure I felt confi
It was amazing!!! Thank you for everything - we had so much fun. My friend was so excited🥹
Was an amazing experience, quick refresher course and then into an amazing wonderland, guide picked me up straight from hotel. Highly recommend using them, great value for money and worth every cent. Would use again no questions asked.
Jade was an excellent instructor. Whilst I have previously dived over 100 times, it was almost 20 years since my last dive and my son has never dived before. A good ratio of 1 instructor to only 2 pupils and Jade gave clear and thorough instructions before the shore dive. Plenty of fish to see, plus a few small barracuda when we headed out tot the nearby coral reef. Highly recommended as an introduction or refresher dive and my son and I both had a great morning
The main guide was very good, he gave a good safety briefing and all the guides were very patient with us when we took a while longer to get used to the breathing equipment. We were a family of 7 and ages ranged from 13-55, it was suitable for all. The guides stayed with us throughout and checked we were ok all the time. Overall a good experience! Thank you 😀
It was a wonderful experience. Me and my partner had never dived before. We were taught everything very thoroughly before going down, by a great English speaking teacher. We managed to then dive for 45minutes to depths up to 6m. Had a great morning!
Great activity for the first time divers, I really enjoyed, Jade was amazing guide.
Amazing experience and our guide was very good and patient. It was the first time for us and I have always been even afraid of swimming in high waters. Our guide made us feel comfortable and we had a wonderful activity.
We are both older ladies - my friend is 84 - trying diving for the first time. Our guide was so patient and we had a wonderful experience with plenty of fish to see.
Our experience with Jade was phenomenal. Jade and his team was very supporting and filled our diving experience with extra fun. Myself along with my spouse and daughter was briefed properly before diving since it was first time for them. We had super experience of watching the marine ecosystem and underwater life filled with corals and lot of marine species. They took care of our safety and ensured the diving to be a memorable experience which will cherish forever.
