Discover Scuba Diving for Beginners (Non Certified Divers)

It was my first experience in diving. There we two of us, me and my wife and it was her brilliant idea) We chose to learn how to dive in a pool first, and then go diving to the sea. Many thanks to our teacher Jon! He explained everything to us very clearly, spent enough time in a pool with us and it was very helpful. So I felt confident when we went to the sea, even it was my first diving ever. Jon's words stay in my mind "Diving is very easy! It's easier than driving a car". He helped us to keep our mind relaxed and enjoy underwater world. It was amazing, like a visit to another planet. I wish I had more time to dive this time, but unfortunately it was our last day before leaving Thailand. I plan to come back for diving! Это был мой первый опыт в дайвинге. Мы были вдвоем, я и моя жена и это была ее блестящая идея) Мы выбрали вариант с обучением сначала в бассейне, а затем дайвинг в море. Большое спасибо нашему учителю Джону! Он очень понятно объяснил нам все, провел с нами достаточно времени в бассейне и это очень помогло. Я чувствовал себя уверенно в открытом море, хотя это был мой первый опыт дайвинга. В голове звучали слова Джона "Дайвинг это просто! Это проще, чем водить машину". Он помог нам настроиться и расслабиться, насладиться видами подводного мира. Это было волшебно, словно ты оказался на другой планете. Жаль, что дайвинг мы решили попробовать в последний день перед отъездом из Тайланда и не было времени понырять еще. Планирую вернуться!

Good english instructor, learned me dive basics with practice. Its good dive experience from Kata beach on coral reefs, and takes 50 minutes underwater. Its great customer service and great prices! Хороший английский инструктор по дайвингу, на практике научил меня основам дайвинга. Это хороший опыт погружения с пляжа Ката на коралловых рифах и занимает 50 минут под водой.

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.
