Best experience ever and we had the perfect instructor in syeed absolutely explained everything perfectly and we felt 100% safe with him give us the best experience we could of asked for and took some amazing photos and footage for us 10/10
I was so lucky to have Sam as an instructor for this magic moment!!! It was my first time diving and I was a bit stressed. He was so careful and made feel very confortable. Next time I visit Phuket, I hope to be able to dive with him. I highly recommand you this activity and this instructor if you are solo, with your kids, friends or even as a couple. Food, drinks and snacks are included. They even give you a pill for seasickness (and it work very well). Everything is well managed to make you enjoy your day and have fun. Thank you again !
What a trip!! We were reluctant to go on a scuba diving trip having never done it and were worried about being around a ton of people to learn. That is not what happened. The trip was smaller in numbers and my wife and I were blessed with a great instructor name Dima. He was super patient, very helpful and led us into having an amazing experience and an all around great day. All the staff on the boat and other instructors were great too. Food was good, restrooms were clean, transport van was great. (Try not to get the very back seats on the ride home. The AC sucks back there!). Can’t wait to g
Saed was the best. A group of 3, myself and my 2 sons. Saed was patient and went through everything with us. He was friendly and explained every stage of our day. The day was awesome and Saed took great photos and videos of us which we love. Thank you all. A great day that I couldn’t fault at all. 10/10

James is an amazing instructor, very professional. shows excellent skills and keeps you confident. Thank you for the experience.
James is our diving guide and he is super friendly and the trip is wonderful!
The activity was super best. The transport pick up from my hotel was on time. The company provided breakfast, lunch and finger snacks during the whole course of the activity. Our diver assist James was as excellent, patient with the first timers and had lots of interesting stories to tell throughout the whole activity. The activity visits 3 sites which are exceptional choices with beautiful coral. I would advise anyone visisting Thailand to do this activity, especially with James.
Great day out diving! Julian was very patient with me experiencing sinus pressure. We had a great time!
