Clearly very experienced, in love with the seas and the life in it. We had a great time for 3 days and now I am thinking where to do it next and next and next. Thank you John, my buddy Allen, Dave and a whole team who made it possible.

  The best experience ever.  - I came to phuket just to do a course but left with friends and a passion to do more diving. John Park helped me overcome my fears through training... read more and humour and now I have a skill and passion for life.

I couldn't recommend any one higher than these guys. When I come back with my family and kids I'll be asking for John by name.

  Phi Phi Islands fun dives  - My husband and I went on a dive trip to Phi Phi Islands with Jon and had a fantastic time. He made us feel very comfortable and was great at... read more communicating the plan for each stop and exactly what to do and what to expect. The dives themselves were amazing. We recently dove at the Great Barrier Reef and both agreed we liked these even better. We saw black tip reef sharks, a turtle, and tons and tons of beautiful fish.

  Wonderful 3 dives at Phi Phi Islands with Jon - This was a wonderful day excursion featuring 3 certified dives at Phi Phi Islands.

We got picked up at our hotel and met our friendly and professional guide... read more Jon. He briefed us on the dives and set us up with equipment.

The boat ride was nice, serving delicious snacks and meals with about an hour between each dive site.

Our guide Jon made us feel safe and welcomed during 3 50-minute dives which he adapted to our experience level.

Jon knew exactly where to spot amazing wildlife including black tip reef sharks, turtles, and tons of fish. He also took us through a beautiful open water cave, and even took professional photos of us and everything we saw so we could focus on diving.

The dive sites were warm, not too crowded, and had great visibility. Would definitely go again!

  5 Stars, 6 if I could - I did 3 fundives on a full day Tour with Jon and really enjoyed every Moment of it. He was a great instructor and did his best to lead three... read more wounderful dives and created moments to remember. We went to different spots on Banana Bay and to two Wracks at Racha Yai and felt the loads of Jon's Experience in diving there. He knew the best spots amd I felt safe and comfortable the whole time.
Jon also taught some nice practical things and methods to grow as a Diver.
Not only the dives itself made the day become an awesome experience, its also the atmosphere on the boat and the little things that matter.
I felt welcome the moment I walked into the office and booked my Dives with Salma.
In the morning I was picked up on time at my Hotel and was taken to the pier and welcomed there.
The team was really nice and the food on the boat was delicious.
Each buffet (breakfast, lunch, fruits, snacks) had a good variety to choose from and it was plenty.

Really enjoyed the trip, thanks to Jon and the Team of Phuket Dive Tours.

I did a one day pool try dive here and I'm currently two... read more days into my three day open water course. My partner is slightly less confident than I am and our instructor Jon is exactly the right mix of kind and assertive. She feels safe learning with him.

The equipment provided to us for rental is high quality, sometimes even brand new, and we'll maintained.

This is one of the only dive schools in the area with their own pool so if you want to avoid fighting with other schools in a shared pool of too many people during high season then this is definitely the place!

Looking forward to finishing my SSI open water in the next few days and will definitely be back for more!

  Private Charter to Racha Yai - We hired a private charter on Lady Sarah to snorkel and dive at Racha Yai. Totally recommend! Location, boat and equip, staff and service A++++++. Loved it!

  Fantastic trustworthy dive company - I had an awesome time diving with these guys.

Dave at the shop was super communicative when organising dives and really accommodating.

Jon guided me through my Advanced Diver SSI course. He was fantastic, really observant, very knowledgeable and easy to get along with.

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 !!
