Unforgettable Beginner Scuba: Dive Deep, No Cert Required!

Beginner dive skills & practice in the pool then out to the beach. Divers need to be able to walk ~50m across the beach wearing their dive gear to enter the water. The dive shop has outdoor shower and drinking water available. David was great with communication before and after the dive and Emily was an excellent instructor! Dive shop was a 20-min taxi ride from Patong Beach Jetty. GRAB app worked great for taxi.

We had a brilliant time with Phuket Dive Tours & highly recommend them. I am currently training with another Dive Organisation in the UK & the quality of tuition offered by Tim at Phuket Dive Tours was exceptional. Me & my partner felt totally comfortable in the water, safe in the knowledge that we had a great instructor looking after us. The dive around the coral reef was out of this world. We saw an amazing variety of fish, corals and even a moray eel. So pleased with the experience & would urge everyone to go. Ask for Tim, he is brilliant :-)

I was looking for an affordable dive shop for a discover scuba diving session for my girlfriend (non certified) and some beach dives, including a night dive for me (certified). Firstly, communication and booking process with David was smooth and efficient. He explained everything in detail and arranged the dives in a convenient way for both of us. Secondly, Victor (our dive instructor) was one of the best I have been with, regardless of your experience level. Calm, confident and funny. Many thanks to the whole team, chapeau!

My wife and friend had no scuba experience but both thoroughly enjoyed it. I was especially grateful to our guide Gan who really helped my wife, who is not a good swimmer, feel very comfortable with scuba techniques. Gan took the time to help my wife grasp the basics in the pool before going into the ocean where she paid special attention to my wife making sure she felt safe the whole time. Once in the ocean Gan showed us a lot more than what we saw in the pictures posted online. She pointed out all the interesting animals along the reef, it was a great experience.

I undertook and completed a 3 day SSI Open Water Diving Course with Alla at their Kata Road location for 12,000 Baht. First day was a half day training at their swimming pool in Kata (830am to 1pm), second and third days were full open water dive days (730am hotel pickup and 5pm hotel drop off). You'll also have to complete some online study and tests beforehand, which I finished in about half a day. Breakfast, lunch and snacks were catered on dive days. Food was decent but not gourmet. We docked at Racha Noi and Racha Yai for lunch and you couldn't ask for better views. Alla was lovely and I felt well taken care of during the lessons and dives. She also took great photos and videos, which I purchased for an additional 1,500 Baht. My only reservation would be for non-native/ESL English speakers. Communication might be a little challenging for you as Alla had quite a strong Ukranian accent. I personally didn't have much of a problem. All in all, I had a wonderful time and would strongly recommend Phuket Dive Tours to most anyone.

Great experience, very friendly staff, clear explanation before entering the water, 2 divers accompanied us during our dive initiation, constantly checking how we were doing. Great boat with good facilities and nice lunch. Strongly recommended!

Great day. Brilliant instructor and crew. Boat was perfect size and not crowded and diving site was brilliant. Scuba first time and instructor was really good and guided me without any issues. Even better. Gan coached my wife to try snorkeling for the first time and she is now sold. Highly recommended.

We took the Open Water Course which included one pool session, 2 beach fives, and 2 boat dives at Racha Yai island. It was the best experience. The location of Phuket Five Tours at Kata Beach was best. They have own dive training pool there, and the place is located within walking distance to Kata Beach which was useful for the day-2 beach dives. Our instructor, Mr. Somkid, was so understanding and paced his training based on our abilities. We went slow but steady - and got certified within the 3 days of learning.

It was our first time scuba diving and we had zero clue what we were doing. Tim our instructor was very patient and skilled to help us learn. My husband isn’t a strong swimmer but he still was able to scuba dive no problems. And I had problems figuring out how to breathe comfortably underwater on my first try but we weren’t rush and Tim took his time teaching us what to do. I highly recommend! the experience was easier and more stress free than expected.
