  SCUBA ROCKSTARS: Phuket Dive Tours - I DO NOT WRITE REVIEWS:

Firstly let me say that I don’t write reviews but I feel I am compelled to do so because my experience was... read more just simply amazing. From start to finish. After doing my research we determined that Phuket Dive Tours would be our best option for completing our open water and adventure scuba certifications. There are several reasons why it is important for me to write this review but I have to say that I chose to try scuba not necessarily because of the beautiful of the ocean’s creatures (that was a plus) and reefs of color or that I’m a scuba junky but for me it was more about overcoming my own personal fears of claustrophobia and the anxiety that comes with it. Additionally, I thought this would be a great experience for my brother and I to share together as we traveled across the world to Thailand. But personally, scuba was a one of the biggest challenges for me from a psychological standpoint. I wasn’t sure if I was able to complete the certifications due to those panics attacks in confined spaces and critical situations under deep water. But John Parr, our subs instructure, made that process simple and easy and help alleviate the anxiety that came with overcoming this challenge and achieving this goal of certification for scuba. And like clockwork I had that anxious moment or three, nearly freaking out 18 meters but Jon was there to be a reassuring force that gave me the confidence in my scuba skills, calming me in the process so that I could not only finish my dive but ultimately complete my certification. He was helpful and calming and after each dive I became more and more confident in my skills. John gave me some great ideas to think about regarding breathing techniques to work on so that I could take control of my own situation. Not only were we successfully trained in the new skills that we learned from scuba but Jon also did a great job of taking care of us with personal VIP attention, friendly banter, and he shared a glimpse of what life was like living in Phuket. My brother and I felt that we had an instant connection with John and will cherish these memories of scuba diving with Blacktip reef sharks, Leopard sharks, sea turtles and entering caves and ship wrecks; something I would’ve never dreamed I was capable of doing. This trip will remain a highlight on a long list of experiences I have had and will have. This was an experience in my life that I cannot really put words to or can express properly how valuable these moments will be in my memories forever. I can’t say enough great things about John Parr, our dive instructor. He’s a handsome man! (Haha John) his knowledge about scuba and the surrounding area are second to none. We saw things most dive instructors missed. No body saw a Leopard shark on our boat. But we did! THE MOST IMPORTANT POINT TO MAKE HERE is John Parr is sincere in making you scuba experience safe, personal, and unforgettable.

The owner of Phuket Dive Tour, David, was also very helpful and understanding as we changed our plans multiple times. David was very good at communicating with us through WhatsApp about our schedule and getting us to where we need to be for our dives as things changed. David and his team made the process seamless. They pick you up, feed and drink you, and all for unbelievable value. All processes were seamless so that we could just focus on the experience and mastering our new scuba skills.

I want to thank David and his wife for creating such a wonderful organization that clearly puts customers first and provides an experience that far exceeds any expectation that you could possibly imagine.

  Amazing finish for our dive certifications - Working with Jon Parr, we dove with him for 3 days total of 9 dives. We’re able to finish our open SSI water diving certification, and our advanced adventurer... read more certification. He was super helpful, love what he does and is very sincere. He had a full camera and was able to capture great moments. We were on the freedom dolphin first two days, food was amazing. All Halal food, but I would have not known unless they said something. Second boat was the Mandarin 5. Nice boat to take out to Phi Phi islands. Fast boat good food again, beer for purchase for only 65 thb. During our dives we explored a shipwreck, swam into a cave, swam with sharks, turtles, fish. All an amazing experience and tough to top. Shuttle already set up for us to and from. Tough to beat this team, thank you again.

  Great Experience! - I definitely recommend Phuket Dive Tours. It was my first time scuba diving. Everything was well organised. My instructor was wonderful. He took the extra steps to make sure I... read more felt comfortable and confident with my skills as well as the equipment in order to become a competent diver. His calm, collected demeanor is exactly what i needed when being under water. The price-performance ratio is also unbeatable.
Would definitely dive with Phuket Dive Tours again, anytime.
Thank you!

  Great Private Dive Day - We did a private dive day and had a blast! The master diver was friendly and helpful and did a great job. The captain and boat stewards were fantastic and... read more fun as well. They all took such good care of us and made sure we had plenty of drinks, fruit and food. We saw so many eels, a baby sting ray, lots of fish, a sunken boat and so much more. Would highly recommend!

  Phuket Dive Tours; where to start. We travelled for 3 months and by far this was one of the best experiences we encountered. From the start, when we entered the... read more shop l, we were greeted with so much warmth and care. Benz was so welcoming and provided us with great details about scuba diving. Benz even took us up to see David and the other instructors before making the decision to get our scuba diving license. David and the team provided us with so much information, which made us feel so comfortable about committing to the scuba diving course. We never felt forced to take the course but instead felt guided and at ease. For the course, our instructor was Beto who made the course itself so enjoyable. Beto is so knowledgeable, supportive, and overall just such a great instructor. Beto went out of his way to make sure that everyone personally felt comfortable and was doing okay. Beto was the reason that each day we felt confident and comfortable in the course. We can’t say enough positive things about Beto, if you get a chance to suggest an instructor, I would 100% recommend Beto. At the end of each day David greeted us at the boat and asked us if the equipment was good (which it was!) and if we were enjoying the course. This goes to show how much care is given to each student. Overall Phuket Dive Tours is such a pleasant place and if you are on the edge, I would suggest to just do it (you won’t regret it)! Thank you Phuket Dive Tours and everyone who made our diving course so special. P.S: take the catamaran: it a small group of people and in a nicer boat. The boat crew were so pleasant, wonderful, and went out of their way to ensure that guests had the best experience.
