We encourage you to engage in local diving at Kata beach and discover a great local dive site 80m from our shop, the kata beach south reef is situated right next to our store with a short swim over the sandy bottom, although this is seasonal scuba diving best between December and April there are still some days where the waterers calm enough to dive between June and August. The kata south reef is ideal for spending a few hours for local diving while staying in the area and is used mainly for easy fun dives, night diving, and scuba course training dives. Marine life at the local dive site includes cuttlefish, parrotfish, various eels, sea moths, pipefish, lionfish, barracuda, turtles, and squid, and is a favorite spot for macro & underwater photography. The reefs are reasonably shallow with a walk-in entry from the beach that slowly drops off to 12- 14m this is often the turnaround point

Amazing amazing amazing!My boyfriend and I completed our open water and advanced adventurer certification this week. I cannot recommend Phuket Dive Tours enough! Our instructor, Sean, was extremely knowledgable, experienced and fun. He set the bar really high for any future dive guides! Our training was personalized to fit our wants/needs/fears and we felt comfortable the entire time with him by our side.For our dives we did all boat dives, which I definitely recommend for the best experience - we visited some of the best dive sites in Thailand! As a bonus we were able to learn so much about the marine life. Every day was well organized and such a blast.We’re sad it’s over, but so ready for future dive trips! Thank you thank you!

This was my second time diving with phuket dive tours.From the very moment I walked into their Kata beach store, David greeted me with a smile. He explained to me and my friend (who had not dived before) all about what we'd be doing in the dive and gave us the best possible deal.On the dive day, we were graced by Mod, our diving instructor. She was lovely and kind, and made sure that everything went well for me and my friend and that we were comfortable under the water.Not only will I dive with them again, but also recommend them to my friends.Keep being amazing guys.

Without any hesitation I can say, we really had a wonderful scuba diving experience with Phuket Dive Tours. Thanks to David on briefing us what package is suitable as per our plan. And a big thanks to Pommy & Simon who were our diving instructors. They are very friendly and experienced instructors and had trained us very well before our jump. For sure you will be 100% safe with them. It was a great experience for us. Definetly gonna come back again for scuba with Phuket Dive Tours. Kudos to the whole team!

Did the Open Water course with Roman as our instructor and it was so much fun! Roman is such a funny guy but above all he has a lot of experience and knowledge to share. The pool training has prepared us for the open water and after that the dives just felt effortless and smooth. Would highly recommend both Phuket Dive Tours and Roman!

Absolutely brilliant. David and the team could not be more obliging. Phuket Dive Tours gave us the three best experiences of our holiday in Thailand. They offered what we were after, personal service without pressure. Boat was exceptional as was the crew. Instructor was a hoot. Dive gear top quality and advice regarding what else we might enjoy was spot on. We have already decided to come back to Phuket and progress our diving here based on our experience with Phuket Dive Tours. Thank you so much.

David and Marshall looked after me on my 3 day open water scuba course and it was one of the best experiences of my whole Thailand trip! David is everything you want/need from an instructor: gives clear instructions, is enthusiastic and hypes you up when you’re doing well and even in groups you feel as though he’s watching everyone carefully. Really knowledgeable about diving, marine life and the local reefs, would recommend Phuket dive tours to everyone!

I have a really great experience getting my divers license here.The prices are really good. If you want to get your divers license I would recommend you doing that here because it is a lot cheaper than at other diver shops.The owner is flexible and will help you if you have a problem and the instructors are also nice. You can have a great chat with them.My instructor, Beto, was really nice and explained everything very well. He makes you feel very comfortable. So if you have any nerves about diving, know that you will be fine if you take your course here.I really enjoyed booking at this place.

We would highly recommend Phuket Dive Tours. We took the refresher course session in their pool followed by a dive on Kata reef. Marshall made the day outstanding. He looked after us very well and was very thorough going through all the basic skills and listened carefully to what we wanted to practice. Great company too. A perfect and fun refresher course. David and Marshall both took us out on the reef and we came back with some great photos of the dive taken by David including our encounter with a cute cuttlefish.

Phuket Dive Tours are the best in Phuket. Why? How can I say that? Well, let me tell you…Their prices are the best and can’t be beat anywhere on the island. Their service is top notch. David, made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in the door and took as long as we needed to answer all of our questions. The dive team, Marshall and Tony and others, are professional, experienced, patient, and made the experience very fun. My wife got her certification at Phuket Dive Tours and I went along with them, as I’m already certified. Their training was done by the book with safety at the forefront. We will be back to Phuket at some point and our first stop will be Phuket Dive Tours for an excellent dive! Thank you so much!

Did my open water diver certification with Roman. He was extremely professional and thorough and really made me feel safe and comfortable in the water. I’ve tried scuba diving before but never got quite as comfortable. I also never realized how much there is to know until taking this course. Was a great 3 days.Also the shop itself is excellent! Good location, awesome pool for training, and top of the line gear. Also David was really responsive and organized and made the booking and any additional questions we had a breeze. Highly recommend Phuket Dive Tours if your in the Phuket.

We had an amazing experience. Originally we were a group of 4, however one got sick over the night and had to cancel right before the transfer pickup at our hotel, this was handled very professionally and she even got most of her money back, only 200 baht for insurance was taken.The three rest of us had a personal dive instructor, his name was Beto and he was very professional. One person in our company had trouble going down (her first time diving) and Beto did his very best and was very professional.I have a dive certificate and was more comfortable diving, so i got moved to another instructor for my second and third dive so that i would be able to make some good dives while Beto worked with the beginners in our group.Both my dives were amazing with the last dive visiting a wreck at about 20m, very good!The big boat had fresh water shower and toilets, we had free snacks and food on board and the ride to the dive-site couldn’t have been more comfortable.Overall an absolutely amazing experience.
