Just a word of advise: carry with you a rash gaurd / polyester full sleeve t shirt to avoid adverse sun burns while training. You can buy them at their dive shop but i found them a bit pricy. So if you can carry your own you can save yourself a few buck !!

Hands down in the top 5% best snorkeling of my life and the whole day is right up there with some of the best days of my life so far. Thank you all for providing such a wonderful experience.

I did scuba for the first time, and were safely guided, trained and prepared by... read more Sky. Sky was very skilled + calm support to have from pool training and real coral reef exploration.

Me and my partner took a dive together at same time, I as a beginner and he with many years experience. Sky kindly held my hand during the dive as I felt unsure.

We dove with... read more Sky, she is a really great guide, friendly, helpful and goes slow and finds all the fun little creatures that come out at night.

It is a short 2 minute ride to the beach, then just a short swim out to the reef. It is a shallow dive, so it can be very long if your good with your air. We did about 90 minutes!

Lots of nice shrimp, crabs, Ornate Ghostpipefish, frogfish, eels, a very friendly and large pufferfish, along with all the usual reef dwellers. The cost is very reasonable too.
Then you have the rest of the evening to enjoy the food and nightlife of Kata and Karon beach!

In conjunction with my courses, my husband did a day of snorkeling. I recommend the smaller speed boat. We beat the crowds, hit 3 snorkeling spots and had a great lunch on the boat.

So, we swung into Phuket Dive Tours and made an inquiry. Now understand that my bride had not dunked her head in over 30 years and was rather timid but as it was a choice of death on the road or death in the salty brine, she chose the latter because the odds were better. I, of course, didn’t need a refresher because I’m a boy. However I accompanied my bride to show my concern, love, and support. Though I was shocked I have to say I may have picked up a hint or two myself! What I mean is that I got my rating sometime back in the mid-twentieth century and I learned they no longer use J-Valves (look it up perhaps?) on the Scuba tanks now, but actually have pressure gauges! AND they have 2 regulators, and inflatable vests and well, it’s endless. I looked like an octopus and could hardly stand up. 😉

So, we scheduled the refresher for the following morning at 0800, but arrive at 0700 to avoid the traffic, caught breakfast at a hotel a block away, and met our instructor, Tim, at the assigned time. The pool is behind the shop, large, clean, and comfortable, and Tim is the definition of patient. In no time my bride was moving around the pool like a pro and I was trying to follow her. I was sure wishing I had listened to what my mother had told me about this stuff when I was young, but alas I don’t have a clue what it wasI wasn’t listening.

At the end of the day we learned a lot, selected our equipment, and arranged to meet the dive boat the following morning. The day was super! The dive boat is large and comfortable, breakfast, lunch, and afternoon snack were provided. Seasick pills were available for those who desired them. There was endless help putting on the gear, safety briefings, help climbing back aboard after dives, and the crew managed and cleaned all the gear afterwards. We dove in two different locations before returning home and being thrown back onto the roads to fight for our lives. I swear, the motorcycle driver here have nerves hammered out of Viking Steel!

In closing, the diving isn’t as spectacular as the Great Barrier Reef of Australia, nor the Barrier Reef off the coast of Mexico and Belize, and certainly is not as colorful as some locations in the Red Sea, but it’s a far cry better than the icy waters of Alaska where we reside. I’ll put in one picture of our waters in Alaska so you can decide.

Don’t hesitate, if you are in Phuket and wish to experience diving in Thailand, I don’t think you can go wrong with this crew. Regardless of your level of experience they can provide the gear, the training, the service, and the boats. If you are not SCUBA certified they can certify you, and can simply give you training for an introduction dive.

Prices are honest, you can take a large multi-engine boat out to the islands for about the same price you pay to get seasick on a tour boat ride.

Have Fun!

  The staff and crew was great, the training was awesome and they made it fun. The diving was even better and they included rides and food. Would 10/10 recommend.

  Amazing experience. Completed my certification course for open water with all the support of Jon perr. Will remember him all my life . Great guy !
