I booked two tours with them, the first was a day dive trip (on a different review) and the three day two nights Similan island live aboard.I was nervous booking the trip since I had not dove in a year and have only and open water, but after reaching out to David, he was able to talk with me about all the different options and helped me pick the best option for me.The only thing I regret is not being able to stay for longer!!Travel was long, pick up from hotel to speed boat to the main ship took about 2 hours, but I had no issues with drivers finding me and my hotel as well as transferring my things to the main boat.I was paired with a girl that was close in age, similar dive experience and same language. The staff was so kind and attentive. The food is AMAZING. The diving is like a well oiled machine, you come in and quickly learn the day to day routine.My dive guide was Tour, a young local diver, who has over 10 years experience, which was east to see as we where diving. He was able to take us around the reef helping us find the animals we wanted to see (as available, obviously nothing is guaranteed) and adapted the path we took to give us more opportunities to do swim throughs (kinda like tunnels).Jon was the point person on the ship, who was also knowledgeable, friendly and easy to talk with.I am so sad that I left after only three days. And will definitely be back again!

I recently went on the 2 Day / 1 Night liveaboard diving trip, and highly recommend it. The process was efficient, the crew was extremely friendly, the food and accommodations were excellent, and the diving in the Similan Islands was fantastic. Definitely the highlight of my time in Phuket.

Great place to learn how to scuba dive. We had Jonathan Parr as our instructor who was fantastic, but all the staff were friendly and highly experienced. The course was also structured in a great way to ease you into an 18m dive. Couldn’t recommend this more!

Fantastic scuba diving experience here. Got my SSI certificate with instructor Jon. He’s an amazing teacher, loved his humor and is very patient. Would highly recommend coming here!

Completed the SSI Open Water Course with Phuket Dive Tours in Nov 2023 and would highly recommend them. Especially because all details and logistics are carefully managed that I didnt have to worry about anything and could just focused on the course. Perfect for holiday mood!Special shoutout to Jon Par, my diving instructor, for his clear and concise coaching, chill when its fun time, and being firm when it comes to safety.

Spent two days with dive instructor Jon P. from Phuket Dive Tours completing my Advanced Open Water certification. I can’t thank Jon, plus David and his team from PDT enough. Incredibly well organised, Jon was outstanding, I’m not your typical diver. 6’4” 155kg and I gulp air like it’s my last. He worked through every stage, teaching me perfect buoyancy and trim, breathing techniques and observational awareness.I had a moment where I started to panic, Jon calmed me down, got me focused and we completed the dive safely. Thank you so much.If you’re looking for a place to up skill, or just a recreational dive, you can’t go past Phuket Dive Tours, also, ask for Jon if he’s available, a real gentleman.

Spent three days with Phuket dive tours doing my SSI Open water diver course. Loved every minute it! Tim our instructor quickly alleviated any fears I had going into it as it was my first time and I always felt safe under his guidance. Really enjoyed it and would highly recommend Phuket Dive tours for first time divers

It was a fantastic course, and my instructor, Jon , was able to help me overcome my fears and give me the skills with both humour and teaching. Letting me relax, knowing that I was in safe hands and able to achieve the goals.

Just did a 3 dive trip with these guys from Phuket. Well run, professional outfit. David, who handled the booking, Hotel pickup was super helpful and Benj my dive guide was brilliant. Nothing too much trouble and lots to see. Would definitely book with them again 👌

5 Stars, 6 if I couldI 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 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 took 2 consecutive 3-dive day tours with Phuket drivers. Both were absolutely fabulous. On the first tour, my instructor Maa did a great job of meticulously going through a refresh procedure, as I hadn't dived in the past 10years. Then we had a great time fun diving in the Ratcha's. Maa was great at pointing out interesting things to see underwater.The next day was a tour to Phi Phi and shark point. Alla, my instructor, was great at leading the way and taking care of every detail of the dive. Alla made sure to go below first to get me a close up with a Leopard shark, before the "herd" joined from above and scared him away. The Phi Phi dives were absolutely amazing. Plenty of colours and great sea life to experience.The ships were great, serving food and fresh fruit before and between dives. Just what you need after surfacing hungry. The entire staff was very helpful in managing the equipment and helping out wherever needed.I strongly recommend diving with Phuket divers... can't wait to come back to Phuket for seconds...

Our snorkeling excursion on the PowerCat catamaran was amazing! Kan, our guide, was great and, with her expertise and warmth, did everything to make the trip an unforgettable experience for our kids (7 & 9). The snorkeling spots were great - especially the two off Koh Racha. We can highly recommend a trip with Phuket Dive Tours - also because it was anything but super touristy.Thanks to the entire PowerCat crew and to John and Kan #phuketdivetours for a wonderful day!

A great dive experience, thanks to our dive master.Jul 2023We booked a tour of Vietnam and Thailand through Asia Pioneer travel, and stipulated that we dive two days in Phuket. We got so lucky that our travel agent at Asia Pioneer booked us through Phuket Dive Tours, and, specifically, because we landed Jon Parr as our dive master.We were on a 2 day, three dive per day trip, and shared a dive boat with other operators, but we felt we had such a custom experience because of Jon.My wife is the biggest dive enthusiast, followed by me, and finally our 14-year old, newly PADI certified, daughter. Jon made sure all of us got the most out of the trip.We had such a lovely experience, and even though day 2 wasn't perfect conditions (low season, weather/currents related), Jon communicated to us what to expecting each dive, and we really appreciated his candor and attention to detail.I can't say enough about how quality the experience was. If you are a family, and want to dive in Phuket, ask for Jon at Phuket Dive Tours!

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.

Absolutely fantastic day. The guys accommodated our family of 4 with snorkeling. David who was my contact was helpful on emails and WhatsApp.The staff on the boat were really well organised and friendly and the food and drink was great and aplenty.I really would recommend these guys.Thank you all for a great time.

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.

I chose PDT from the good reviews and it was the right decision. Having to arrange diving trips for a family of 4 certified divers, mom and dad with 14and 12, and a 20 yo son taking open water certification was quite daunting. I spoke to David before arriving in Phuket and met Benz and Roman the instructor at the shop in Kata.We did a refresher beach dive at Kata beach together with the training dive for the son taking SSI certification. The next day David arranged for a private catamaran to Yanui to complete the training dives as well as recreational dives for the rest of us.We had a great time diving together as a family after almost 2 year break because of covid. Roman was patient with my children with high regards on safety that we felt safe diving with him. Thank you Roman for the great photos and videos as well. David was on the boat ensuring everything was in order and the whole trip was a joy. Thanks PDT for a memorable dive outing in Phuket.
