ADVANCED OPEN WATER COURSE

Diving at the deeper open water dive sites around Phuket will need advanced diver training.

For many customers taking a private scuba diving course in Phuket and learning to dive know it has its own benefits.

You learn at your own pace, you have 100% of the instructor’s attention all of the time. If you have any hurdles you then can clear them at your own pace without feeling rushed through the diving course. You feel safer and progress quicker than in group sessions diving course.

Phuket Diving Courses

Like any other training course you may have undertaken, learning to scuba dive is no different so with group diving courses you tend to learn at the group speed and this may take a little longer than a private course. If doing a group course you master a skill first time, then another student has to take 2 or 3 attempts to correct a problem, you then tend to stand around waiting, this can then make you disinterested or frustrated. With group diving courses you tend to make friends and for those traveling alone this is a bonus scuba diving courses are all about “Meeting People Going Places and Doing Things”. So when it comes to choosing diving courses in Phuket you need to ask yourself which option Private or Group?

PADI & SSI Diving Course

Here you can find some information for the international scuba diving courses in Phuket, with the general dive course structure and overviews for learning, all diving courses include equipment and certification fees built into the course fees, we don’t charge extra.

Learning to scuba dive as a beginner you need to be assured that you are getting the full attention of the diving instructor while doing the course.

When to do diving courses in Phuket will often depend on how much time you have available to make yourself available

Half-day courses like the Discover scuba is normally run from our Kata Shop in Hi season and these can be pool-based training course or beach session.

Advanced diver course is a 2 days Private diving course with 5 great dive adventures from the Adventures in Diving course Manual..

Diving Courses & Prices

If you want Cheap courses prices then its better that you Dive at Koh Tao there you can be joined by 60 others students in your class doing the same course in the same training pool on the same day – obviously you wont get 100% of the instructors attention as they will be focused on the other 59 in your group..but it will be a few hundred baht cheaper in Price ..

My husband and I had the best time with Phuket Dive Tours Patong! We did two full days of diving including Racha Noi and the Phi Phi 3 Dive Day Trips. We did a refresher as part of the Racha Noi trip as it had been a while since our last dives.The diving was amazing, and both dive guides were fantastic ensuring that we were all set with safety, equipment (we rented equipment too), and anything else we needed. We saw coral, fish, turtles, and octopus, sharks, and so many amazing things (see the photos)!Logistics were easy, David answered all my questions via Whatsapp and booking was easy online. We stopped by the shop day before and were fit with all our gear then (simpler than on the boat). The pickup from the hotel was easy and we were kept updated via Whatsapp.The food (breakfast, snacks, drinks, lunch, snacks) on the boat was delicious and they had everything you needed. The dive groups are small which is lovely it was the two of us with the guide for the Racha Noi trip, and one other couple and the guide at Phi Phi.As with all the boat trips we've been on, it's controlled chaos getting off the boat and keep in mind that it's 50-ish people diving so it's often a hurry-up and wait situation. Once in the water, though, it's so worth it. Shout out to Kan our guide at Phi Phi, she was amazing!!! Go, you'll love it!!

We did our SSI Advanced Adventurer with Tim and had such a great time. Tim kept us super safe, took a lot of time to explain everything and practice all exercises. He took care of all equipment and fixed my fins on the ride. We've seen lots of fish, manta, morays... during the courses. Tim managed to make this course relaxing and fun - even when one of the dive sites got a little busy. We'd love to come back

STOP LOOKING AT REVIEWS AND BOOK A TRIP WITH SEA BEE'S! YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!!Thank you very much for one of the best and most organised dive trips we have ever had. Brilliant dive guide, boat crew, dive masters and lovely owners. We saw lots of heathly coral and lots of pretty fishes with good visibility. We will definitely be back next trip. 10/10!!

Our day with this team was by far the best time of our entire vacation!! By far our favourite memory.The team was amazing and very friendly. We arranged this trip very late and they were so accommodating and willing to help.It was amazing to enjoy a day of snorkelling without the tourist rush and taking in the beauty around us. Will highly recommend booking with them.

We had Kan as our dive instructor and she was awesome ! Made sure everyone was safe and successful! Saw so much cool stuff. It was me and my friend who has never dived before and it was almost like we had a private class . One other guy was in our group who was awesome . She took us all around and it is really awesome that this company follows you with a GoPro camera and didn’t charged a ton of money for only one photo. We paid next to nothing for tons and tons of amazing videos and photos ! Totally awesome and would absolutely book with them again! Ask for Kan. She was awesome 🙂

My partner and I were missing two open dives to get open water certified. We had such an amazing time with our instructor Tim, and he truly made us so comfortable, despite our excitement and expectations prior to completion. Tim was great, both at teaching us and being patient with us while under the water. I truly recommend him and his team for your certification or a dive in Phuket and islands nearby. It was an amazing experience that we'll remember forever! Cheers to Tim and Phuket Dive Tours!

Did an open diving course with my friend under Tim Mayor.The course was smooth and Tim was good at getting us to learn the skills fast in a calm environment.We visited banana bay, manta bay at racha noi and bay 1 at racha yai.We booked the course for 6 dives and completed all skills by the 2nd dive.However I was a little sad because both days we went to the same exact spots.Furthermore at bay1 there was nothing much, not many corals just one ship wreck and structures for helping corals to grow.This was a little sad to me as this was not communicated when I booked the dives.The best spot was manta bay but Tim was swimming very quickly everywhere I did not have the time to really stop and observe the marine lift within the corals.The next thing that upset me was the photos that Tim took to sell us. He was going to sell us the photos for 3K THB and I should have checked the photos before agreeing because they were not good.Furthermore he wanted cash only and we didn’t have enough cash and it was our last night, and we didn’t have a scooter. It’s difficult to get around Phuket without a scooter and the grabs and tuk tuks are expensive.I asked the dive centre if there was non cash payment and they cared enough to ask me how much I was paying for the photos and negotiated with Tim to lower it down to 2K THB. And Tim agreed to let me pay via bank transfer which was much easier.I asked my friend who has gone diving before and she said that her dive masters gave her photos for free.Honestly the whole trip was fine until this moment where I felt that we paid a lot more than what the photos were worth.Thinking back I also felt frustrated that I could not enjoy the dive as I wanted to at my own pace even after clearing all the skills because he kept moving fast.The dive centre did clarify that photos are not part of the service. As a new diver I would not have known what the common practice was.So in short, good centre to get ur dive license but for the fun dives, not so great.

I recently completed my Advanced Open Water course at Phuket Dive Tours and it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. David was incredibly organized and professional, with quick response times that made booking and planning easy. From my first inquiry, David ensured everything was straightforward and stress-free, guiding me through the setup with clear communication and a flexible, no-fuss approach.The highlight, though, was my instructor, Victor. From start to finish, Victor made the course both educational and exciting. His professionalism, expertise and him simply beeing a really cool guy, truly set him apart.Diving with Phuket Dive tours was really great.Thanks for the great experience.

Tomaz Thiengo

05:25 07 Nov 24

The experience doing the advanced course was very smooth.The instructions from Victor were always clear and he had incredible experience and loads of interesting stories from his time diving in the army.He even got to save my go pro that felt from the attachment and was dropping real fast hahahaI would recommend 100%

Carles Santos

03:40 07 Nov 24

Had the advanced adventurer course with Victor as an instructor.The diving was great, and our instructor was fantastic, he gave us a lot of good tips and we had a lot of fun all together100% recommended

00:38 07 Nov 24

My fiance and I did a practice pool dive before we went to the ocean, which was extremely helpful as this was my first time scuba diving. Our instructor Somkid was excellent and taught us everything we needed to know in the pool and really took his time to make sure we felt safe before going into the ocean. I was a bit concerned that i wore -2.50 prescription for glasses and i would not be able to see underwater as i could not wear my glasses… but Phuket Dive Tours provided a solution and had prescription goggles available for my use and they worked excellent! Everything about this experience was worth the money and it will be an experience we will always remember. I HIGHLY recommend this company.

Me and my friend got open water diving license from here with our diving instructor Tim. It was truly a wonderful experience, the ocean was warm and crystal clear, although around the Racha Noi and Racha Yai island there is no dense coral area or massive biodiversity, it’s good for beginners to learn and practice. Our instructor Mr Timothy Mayor (Tim) is an experienced diver, very responsible and reliable underwater. During our training session, he allowed us to make mistakes but always made sure that we have understood the key points. He really took good care of us and made sure that we are safe while also having fun, just like ‘hanging out’ with a humorous and cool uncle. Overall, thanks for providing us a nice and unforgettable experience!

Charlotte Hewitt

04:29 31 Oct 24

I did my advanced with Phuket Dive Tours with instructor Tim who was fantastic! We had the best two days exploring the ocean and learning new techniques. We were picked up from our hotel each morning and taken to the boat, it was all extremely well organised and they look after you very well on the boat with lots of lovely food between dives to keep you going.I would 100% recommend if you’re looking to do some diving in Phuket!Tim also got loads of great photos of our experience which was the cherry on top of a fantastic two days 🐠🐟🦈🐡

IN SAFE HANDS.3 fantastic dives for me and my Son. Tim, our English speaking instructor, was fantastic. A gifted, funny teacher who had us safe, relaxed, and gliding along in no time at all. With dives of 48 min+ with his keen instruction, it makes this an instructor suitable for all skill levels for improving or just a fantastic safe and fun day out. 3 very high quality meals and snacks provided. Pickup and drop of all included. To top it off he tirelessly took photo and videos of us and some of the wildlife; he's also a gifted photographer.I can't recommend this life experience enough...it will be one of those days you will bring into many conversations in the future. Book Now 5*

I took a Scuba diver two days course with instructor Timothy Mayor at Phuket Diving tours. Previously I had an unsuccessful attempt when having a diving tour in Turkey more than 10 years ago . That time I felt very uncomfortable in water and thought that this fun is probably not for me but after training with Timothy I felt much more confidence, learned all the basic techniques and was able to get an SSIcertification. Very much recommended for those who want to learn to dive and reveal the underwater world beauty for yourself!

I would like to warmly recommend Victor, with whom I had the pleasure of spending my Open Water over three days.Each dive was incredible, with breathtaking seabeds. We were lucky enough to have wonderful visibility, explore a wreck and discover countless underwater species.Victor is an exceptional instructor, combining professionalism and passion for diving. His teaching techniques are clear and effective, which allowed me to progress quickly and with complete confidence.In addition, his sense of humor and joy of life make each dive even more enjoyable.I couldn't have asked for a better instructor. Thank you, Victor, for this unforgettable experience, and see you soon, I hope!

I signed up for the 3 days + 6 dives to get an official Open Water Diving Lisence, and it truly deserves 5 stars.Price: Covers your training, rental gear, taxi to and from the dives, as well as food for on the dives.Service: The entire time our instructor, Timothy Mayor, was very patient and understanding. He took enough time to explain in detail everything we needed to know in order to dive and made it a fun, safe, and rewarding experience.Time: The first day was training only, but I hardly recognized the time pass. It was quick, efficient, and fun. The next 2 days were all Diving, which was even better.Aesthetics: The scenery for the dives was beautiful. Each island and Diving spot contributed its own splendor, and by itself was worth the money.If you are looking to get your Diving lisence, this is definitely a good choice.

If you are planning for a dive. Look for Timothy Mayor. He’s very detail and gives time for practice and errors. Very patient with teaching. I had someone worst before. But Timothy Mayor is the man to go to for your course. I took Open Advance and nitrox EAN40 all thru him. Best guy in town.

When my 11 and 13 year old sons wanted to try out scuba diving, I made it a point to research options with safety as the top priority, but I also wanted to make the experience fun and educational. This would hopefully inspire them to continue recreational diving and gain even more confidence in the water which they already love. Phuket Dive Tours has exceeded my expectations and I have no qualms about recommending them or returning to them next time we are in Phuket. We went for the scuba diving certification package instead of the full open water diving certification because of our sons’ ages and time constraints. Beto was assigned to us and he was an excellent instructor. He was very good with his young charges and at all times had their safety as his top concern. I can tell he takes pride in his integrity and credibility as an instructor and genuinely wanted his charges to properly learn diving and enjoy the water which seems to his beloved second home, a conclusion I came to from our brief interaction.

Craig Pearson

09:49 06 Aug 24

Had an amazing time diving with Phuket Dive Tours - the tour was booked from home before we travelled and the communication - from Dave- was top rate. In resort we were picked up and transferred to the boat prompt and on time and then taken on 3 dives featuring amazing locations, lots of tropical fish, manta rays and turtles, as well as a spell swimming through a ship wreck. Kan, our guide, was top rate from start to finish and the staff on the boat took care of everything - looking forward to our next dive already!

Heidi Larson

Our dive master Som Kid was the best! He was a great person to dive with and he was very knowledgeable and helpful. I would highly recommend diving with this company and request Som Kid.

My best diving experience in Thailand. During our trip, Me and my son used the services of several dive shops in Krabi, Phi Phi and Phuket. And diving with Phuket Dive Tours was the most organized, well prepared and fun dive experience we had.The guys are professional from the easy ordering online process to a very comfortable boat and good quality leasing diving gear. The experience continued with Somkid the dive master who did a good gob preparing us before the dive, and during the dive he made sure we will not miss a thing and even took photos and videos of us during the dive (paid separately but worth every baht). My son had his best dive in his life so far and I got the memories from it. Recommended!

I spent 2 days with these guys and it was awesome. Day 1 in the pool for refresher with Kann and it was great because you learnt a good platform of knowledge but they are also serious about safety.Day 2 was a 3 dive tour and it was great. From the starting dives to the more challenging dive at the end. You learn alot.I must recommend at least the refresher or intro courses for diving. Even though I had dived a while ago, you forget so much and that can dangerous on your return. These people care, that is most important.Tim is probably the most patient man I have met, understanding and never forgets you are in a high stress situation. If you are not at least a little considerate of what you are doing then don't dive. You put more than yourself in danger. Tim was awesome the whole day. Food was great and the crew fantastic.I will be back to do my 2 days training at some point. Because these guys made learning diving fun, even if I still get a bit anxious about the whole thing.One lat word, Benz is great and will guide you through the tour options. Great organizer.Pictures of dive sites belowThanks guys

I had an incredible experience scuba diving with a brilliant dive instructor named Tim. The dives were absolutely fantastic, and Tim's professionalism and knowledge made the experience even better. He ensured that everyone felt safe and comfortable while exploring some beautiful underwater locations. Highly recommended for anyone looking to dive in the area!

I recently completed my open water diving course with Phuket Dive Tours and had an outstanding experience. From the beginning, David was incredibly helpful in answering all my questions leading up to the deposit. Given that it was monsoon season, I was hesitant to book the course, but David assured me that the shop was flexible in rescheduling dates if conditions were deemed unsafe. This flexibility was also extended to our dive package—we initially purchased a 5-dive course but were given the option to upgrade to 6 dives on the boat itself depending on the weather. Thankfully, the weather turned out to be perfect for all three days we were there and we upgraded our package to enjoy more marine life and ship wreck exploration.A special shoutout to Tim and our Thai lady dive master (whose name I unfortunately forgot), both of whom were amazingly knowledgeable and patient. They closely observed us in the water and provided constructive feedback on any issues we faced. Thanks to their guidance, I now feel confident diving, with six dives logged and an eagerness for all the future fun dives to come.Thank you, Phuket Dive Tours, for an incredibly fun and professional crew. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to learn or advance their diving skills!Improvement suggestions:1. prescription goggle options - when i went, they mentioned they had -5 goggles but they only had up to -4. Would suggest to hold stock if possible2. photos - the group I was learning with was a group of 5, so the photos were taken rather hastily, resulting in limited photos of myself. It didn’t felt like value to be charged 1500 bhat for a few photos of myself, thus I opted out of it. Fortunately I brought a GOPRO and Tim was helpful in advising me on how to use it on my last fun dive. I would have loved to having a few free photos for us to post this review with.

I recently completed a basic dive course with Phuket Dive Tours, and it was an incredible experience from start to finish. My instructor, Tim, was outstanding. His patience and high motivation made the learning process enjoyable and stress-free. Tim's passion for diving and dedication to his students are truly commendable. I felt safe, well-prepared, and thoroughly enjoyed every dive. I highly recommend Phuket Dive Tours to anyone looking to start or continue their diving journey. Thank you, Tim, for an unforgettable experience!

I just finished my SSI open water certification with PDT and could not be happier with the experience! Our instructor Tim was a huge part of this experience being one of the highlights of ny trip to Thailand.Tim was extremely knowledgeable and kept the spirit up while delivering high quality formation both in the pool and in the open water. He took enough time to help individually with all the skills, and in my case he was truly understandable and supportive, making sure I could master the diving skills and I could had a great time in the water.Highly recommend Phuket Dive Tours for anyone who wants to try for the first time Scuba diving and be amazed by the underwater world in Phuket!!

I went diving last week with Phuket Dive Tours. I booked last minute and everything went just so smoothly. I could book online and after that they took care of everything. From the first pick up to the drop off at the end. Very professional Staff (Timothy was my instructor) and of course last but not least the beautiful dive sites..! Really all you can wish for when going diving in Thailand.

This was the best dive trip! The crew and dive master were amazing! The food was also better than anything you’ll ever get on a dive trip. The boat stopped at a fun snorkeling spot as well after the diving and allowed everyone to swim, paddle board, snorkel, etc.

Top notch outfit. I just completed my SSI open water diver with these guys. Communication was excellent, the facilities are great (they have their own pool), and my instructor Tim was a great teacher and really made me feel comfortable. I would absolutely dive with them again.

We are a family of 4, my wife and I have our Padi licenses and our two sons needed theirs. The school put us in the hands of Victor, French ex special forces in the French army. He speaks fluent English, is as patient as you could ever need and even though he is young, he as more experience than most instructors I have been diving with. Great experience, support for every level of knowledge and really well organized. Thanks!!!

There are many dive shop options in Phuket and I highly recommend Phuket Dive Tours over the rest! I was matched with a FANTASTIC Dive Instructor for my Advanced Open Water Certification. Victor G. was very experienced and such a great teacher. We practiced all skills on every dive, not to just check a box on the list but so I could build confidence in the skills. Victor made the learning material and dives interesting and fun! I had such an amazing experience with Phuket Dive Tours! The boats they arranged for us to be on were fantastic, there was a real Breakfast (not just fruit and coffee), A great Lunch and Snacks. There was always food waiting for us after every dive and the crew were kind and very helpful before, during, and after the dives. Phuket Dives Tours gave me a great experience and I will definitely be coming back to dive with them and Victor. Cheers!

This is not my first dive with Phuket Dive tours. Very well organised dive company: Registration and sign up are easy and straight forward. Very good service from David the owner. Done my advance & Nitrox training with them. Timothy the Dive Master many many years of experience of about 1k dives, guided me through the steps for Nitrox certification, and shared his valuable experience from checking equipment, handling them and all safety aspects. I have gained a lot of knowledge from him. A highly recommended dive shop, don’t miss out if you are thinking of starting your dive journey!

Hazel Rodrigues

12:50 27 Jun 24

We did our Open Water course with Victor and it was an amazing experience! Swimming amongst the many fishes was very surreal, and we got to learn lots of additional skills and tips from Victor along the way. Expected diving to be scary and tiring but it turned out to be a really calming and relaxing experience 😌 Can't wait for our next dive trip!

10:27 22 Jun 24

From initial contact with Dave through 3 full dive days with Master Diver Tim, whose #1 priority is our safety “ , it was an easy and very rewarding experience. Thank you Phuket Dive Tours for putting this 9 dives, plus the initial refresher in the pool, together for me. Dave is an awesome guy to dive with. I’ll be in touch next time.

Many thanks to Phuket Dive Tours Kata Beach, M/V Freedom Dolphin crew, and especially to Lem who was my guide and dive partner supreme! I went on a 3 dive trip with the most professional group of divers that one could ever ask for. The food was delicious, the crew very professional and attentive and Lem was so helpful as well as an experienced diver/guide. The whole day was a 5 Star experience. Ship wrecks, coral reefs, tons of beautiful fish, snake eels, moral eels, sea cucumber and the list goes on. I felt like a VIP all day. I'm sure everyone else did too. What an awesome experience.My sincere thanks to everyone !

Such an amazing experience! Iam now a certified open water diver and truly it's a different world underwater. Thank you Phuket Dive Tours, very accommodating and easy to book, thanks to David for your help prior to booking and all.And of course Iam super thankful to my diving instructor VICTOR!🙏. He's so friendly, organised and knowledgeable person. He thought me everything that I need to know in diving, gave me a lot of information and training about safety. Not to mention he's patience towards me because personally I don't know how to swim 😂haha, and there are hard times for me to equalise but he's really very helpful and I'm sure to everyone who will have the opportunity to be his diving instructor/buddy😊. Thank you so much Victor, I really had a great time. Iam now a good little diver. Yes I don't know how to swim that's why I'm scared of open water but you made me conquer my fears, yippee!!!, thanks a lot for your help🙏.Note: Great photos taken by Victor.

absolutely amazing experience, our instructor was Tim Mayor, he is very knowledgeable, teaches you to be comfortable underwater at your own pace. i highly recommend him as an instructor. we did pool day and the open dives with him.

Huge shoutout to Phuket Dive Tours for an incredible private dive experience near Phuket! My guide, Victor, a meticulous French fellow with a cool military background, made the whole trip top-notch.Victor impressed me with thorough briefings on each dive site and a safety refresher that instilled confidence, even for a recent diver like me. Between dives, his meticulous equipment checks and clear communication kept me calm despite strong currents. But Victor's not just a safety pro! His friendly personality and great conversation made the boat ride enjoyable too.Highly recommend Phuket Dive Tours and Victor for anyone seeking a fantastic dive experience near Phuket!

His explanations were clear and concise, and he made sure I felt comfortable every step of the way. Already looking forward to the next dive!

Carla Bottazzi

Tim is an absolute rockstar instructor! ⭐⭐⭐ My time with him was awesome, and I felt totally safe throughout. He broke everything down so clearly, making it easy for me to grasp, and he was super open in our communication during the dives. Plus, he's just a really cool person to hang out with. He definitely leveled up my underwater adventure, and I'm already counting down the days until I can dive with him again!

María Eugenia Bottazzi

Tim is for sure the best instructor ever! 🐠🐟🦀 His attention to safety made me feel completely at ease during our dives. He explained everything in such detail that even a newbie like me could understand, and he was so friendly and approachable throughout. Hanging out with him was just as enjoyable as the dives themselves. Can't wait to join him for another underwater adventure soon!

09:03 06 May 24

During my trip, my dive computer (activity watch style) decided to go into dive mode during the flight. I spoke to David via watsapp, late in the evening, to try and get hold of one for the following days' diving. Not only did he respond imidelty, he gave me advice on how I could get it up and running again. The following day, he met me prior to getting on the boat with a working dive computer that was clear of previous days' diving.The diving itself was pretty decent, and the guides were professional. It was a good 2 days diving (6 dives).I will book up with Phuket dive tours again next time a visit for the customer service alone.

Great dive center. I've been wanting to try diving for a long time, and after visiting Phuket and researching my options, I decided to take the SSI Open Water Diver course. It was a great decision, because, unlike the usual fun dives, the course allows you to learn the necessary theoretical base, as well as smoothly build up your practical diving skills. In addition, the obtained certificate will help you with diving in other places all around the world.I would also like to thank my instructor Jonathan Parr. He explained both the theory and the practical part of the exercises in a very accessible way. John was very friendly and approachable. He broke up our sessions so that I could learn new information and skills at a comfortable pace. I gained a lot of useful knowledge from him and overall, I couldn't have wished for a better teacher.Also, John is excellent underwater photographer, the photos from our last diving turned out to be really great!

He was extremely patient and knowledgeable. I felt really safe diving with him and my buddy and he definitely made me want to explore diving further! 10/10 for Victor!!!

I booked Scuba diving directly from them at patong store. The in store experience was amazing with lovely lady 'Fa' who Guided us all the programmes that they have and I chose scuba diving on private boat named sarah the boat was amazing, has all the facilities to enjoy luxury ride.Our diving instructor was "VIKTOR" who literally has been Knowledgeable, nice and a perfect photographer for us. I have never experienced this feeling in my entire life.Conclusion:- Everything was much more better than I expected.

05:18 27 Apr 24

I planned to take Advanced OWD, but the timing didn’t work out. Booked a diving tour to Phi Phi. Since the last dive was a year ago, I took a refresher course in the pool with instructor Kan. She explained everything perfectly and showed me that I had some gaps in my neutral buoyancy skills, and Kan taught me how to act in just a few minutes. Victor was the instructor for the tour. Very positive and experienced, supportive. The three dives went great. Victor took many wonderful photographs. I am grateful to both instructors and the dive center for their professionalism and high quality of work! Next time I will allocate enough time to complete the course and dive at other sites, including King Cruiser.

We booked the day before for an intro beach dive and they were very accommodating. On the day, we were advised to do a pool dive first and we were so glad we did as this made us more confident before going to the sea. Kann was a lovely instructor and made us feel safe despite low visibility and waves. We loved it ❤️

Superb day with Victor.An experienced and dynamic diver, he was able to give confidence to both beginners and the most experienced.The day is rhythmic and perfectly planned. Superb activity where you don't feel like you're in a tourist trap. The setting is beautiful, the staff on the boat are smiling and caring, and the icing on the cake is our potato instructor!Thank you Victor, we can only recommend you 200%.If you are hesitant among the many diving schools on Phuket, look no further.

Went scuba diving with Lem the instructor and he was brilliant! The day as a whole was well planned out and really fun - we had booked a beginners diving course with two dives and it was perfect for us. Lem explained everything beforehand and was really attentive and helpful in the water. We were also kept well fed with a range of tasty food throughout the day.

10:25 16 Apr 24

I've been wanting to scuba dive in Thailand for a long time, and I'm glad I finally did. I made two dives at Racha Noi and one at Racha Yai. The water was clear and warm, and full of colorful fish and coral.Dive master Tim has logged thousands of dives, and he knows what he's doing. He kept us safe, showed us around, and pointed out a lot of things I would have missed, like the moray eel hiding in the rock crevice.The last dive was a wreck dive, a sunken ship probably a few hundred feet long. It was a real thrill diving around that.If you're thinking about doing a dive with Phuket Dive Tours, I would highly recommend it. You'll be glad you did.

We did two day trips to Racha Noi and Phi Phi/Shark Point. Had a great time with Victor and Jon!The dive company is well organized and everything went smoothly. We had our gear ready in the boat before we were in! The gear is nice too, but dive boots could have been useful with the open fins. It’s not clearly stated but if you want to use nitrox, you can request it before.Just make sure to be ready for pick up at 7am!

Julia

08:51 08 Apr 24

We went diving with Jon. He did a great job explaining everything to us and diving with him was very enjoyable. The boat was clean and the food was good too. There were about 30 people on the boat so it wasn't too crowded. We can recommend it to others! Have fun on your dive!

Thomas Reid

06:30 06 Apr 24

We booked a last minute private snorkelling trip for 5 adults and 4 kids. The team, led by Kan were amazing and she was an incredible host. Always attentive and great communication. There are lots of jellyfish this time of year but don’t let that put you off. Still plenty to see and they know some spots where there a a lot less jellyfish. Thanks 🤩

Nicolas Erdle

04:54 06 Apr 24

Great advice - dive spots tailored to experience. Clarifications simply via WhatsApp.Jon was my guide for two days and 6 dives. He helped me improve and expand my knowledge. He made sure to make the most of the day. Equipment, diving spot and time management were perfectly coordinated. He explained the boat rules and procedures to us so that we were optimally prepared. We were always the first in the water and were able to avoid many divers. Even on board, Jon was always a good and fun person to talk to. Thanks for that!

I highly recommend the Open Water course with Phuket Dive tours. The shop is located in central Kata with a pool in the back. Day 1 you do in the pool, and day 2-3 on the boat. My instructor was Jon Parr who was awsome! Jon is a great guy, very experienced and made us all feel safe at all times, as well as having a good time with all of us. He made sure we did things in a safe manner and showed us great patience. Loved it! Thank you!

Done my fun dives and speciality courses with sky and Jon.Both are very attentive and paying attention to diver safety.Special thanks to Jon as he shares his skills and knowledge openly. Jon is definitely a patience and humorous instructor I ever had.A detail briefing and debriefing with each dives and where it could a diver get better during courses.Thumbs up!!!!

We booked the Deep Dive Specialty and had Jon as an instructor. Jon was/is highly professional and we felt 100% safe at all times. The atmosphere on the boat was also very pleasant for day trip boats and the food was good too.I can't say anything about the equipment because we have our own equipment. However, the tanks were in good condition and were always sufficiently filled.The dive sites, we were Racha Noi and Racha Yai, were from ok to good.We had a lot of fun on the course and would book with Phuket Dive Tours again at any time. Especially with Jon as an instructor!Thanks a lot Jon 🙏🏼Therefore 5 stars for the diving center 👌🏽

I did the deep diving specialty with Jon. He is a great diving instructor! I felt like I was in great hands at all times. The organization of the two day trips by boat was also very good. I can recommend Phuket Dive Tours and especially Jon as a diving instructor to everyone with a clear conscience!

My partner & I recently had the pleasure of completing our SSI scuba diving certification with Jon and we couldn't be happier with the experience. Jon’s passion for diving is contagious, and his expertise is noticeable from day 1.Jon’s patience, clear instruction, and attention to safety made every lesson enjoyable! Not only did we learn the essential skills needed for diving, but also a deeper appreciation for the ocean & sea life. & He’s a great underwater photographer too!I HIGHLY recommend Jon to anyone looking to explore scuba diving while in Phuket. Thank you for creating 2 new scuba diving addicts lol

We booked the trip Racha Noi Scuba Diving 3 Dive Day Trip, the cost was 4500 Baht per person. We were totally new to diving. Our instructor Victor took care of carefully explaining all the necessary details for secure diving before getting into the water. He set up all the equipment and explained how it worked. It was a great learning experience and a beautiful adventure into the sea. I strongly recommend it to everyone that wants to explore the world under the water even if you never went scuba diving before.

Thank you very much for the incredible experience! This was my first diving, I was afraid that something would go wrong, but the excellent instructor Viktor calmed me down and at the right moment showed me what to do, supported me and I did it! He also took incredibly beautiful pictures for us! And he gave a sea of positivity and true professionalism in his work!If you are still thinking about going or not, then feel free to ask about instructor Victor and have a great day that you will remember for a lifetime!

Yesterday we went diving. Incredible experience! Everything is superbly organized. I would especially like to mention the instructor Victor. It was my first time diving, but everything went very comfortably. The day before the diving, Victor conducted a training session in the pool, where he answered all the questions and showed how to dive correctly, how not to panic and how to move correctly underwater. The boat took us to the islands of Racha and Racha Yai, there were three dives and each time different emotions and impressions. Thanks to Victor and the whole team, I will definitely come back again!

Shout-out to Victor 🙏 We did an Advanced Open Water Course + an Open Water Diver Course with him and it was one of the best things during our trip through SEA.I'm not the best swimmer and I'm afraid of the open ocean. But from start till end I felt safe and comfortable. He taught us the skills to confidently navigate through water and gave us room to explore the ocean Life independently. There was no micro managing.Thank you very much, Victor. It was a pleasure to have you as our instructor. We wish you the best.Also thanks to the dive center who was very professional and accommodating (we were last minute participants).Note: Victor took also those pictures and they came out great 👍

We did our Advanced Adventurer and Nitrox certification with Scuba Dive Tours. Even though almost everything was fully booked, Benz was still able to accommodate us on the boats for all 5 dives.Equipment was provided and was in great condition.Our dive instructor Victor was brilliant. He is very experienced ! and has an excellent and very personable way of conveying the training content. He answered all questions at all times. An absolute recommendation!!!!The boat tours (1 x catamaran, 1 x large diving boat) were very well organized. Good crew and good food.

Just finished the 3 days open water course with Jon Parr from Phuket Dive Tours, he's an awesome instructor one can ever ask for, very professional, organized, patience, and take really good care of the divers.

Under the guidance of Jon Parr, my PADI instructor, I had an extraordinary open water diving experience. Jon's swift and decisive actions saved me from a potentially dangerous situation, showcasing not only expertise but a genuine commitment to safety. His patience and cool demeanor transformed each lesson into an enjoyable and enriching experience. His teaching style is fantastic breaking down tricky skills into simple stuff. The equipment provided by Phuket dive store was of the highest quality, contributing to a seamless and comfortable dive. Jon's meticulous approach to each skill instilled confidence, and his dedication to giving ample time to every student created a supportive learning environment. Bonus: he took some exceptionally cool photos and videos under water. I wholeheartedly recommend Jon Parr for an exceptional and safe diving journey.

Me and my girlfriend wanted to get an advanced open water certificate, so we went by the shop and met David. David helped us with all our options and choices on what we wanted to do on our dives and where we wanted to dive. Together with David we found a plan and booked our trip. We got to the boat and meet up with our instructor Jon. Jon was such an amazing instructor! He took us under his wings and showed us everything we needed to know. Great service all the way around. Super cool trips with nice views👏🏻 When we were on the boat there was food, drinks and snacks all day.Again, big thanks to Jon and the rest of the crew for such an amazing experience and we can highly recommend Phuket Dive Tours.🤿🤩👌🏼

I have just done my open water dive course with Phuket dive tours and it was fantastic. It was really well organised, the dedicated pool is right near the dive shop in kata beach and the equipment was in really good order. Most of all it was fun! A big shout out to our dive instructor Jon Parr. Very competent and experienced, Jon went the extra mile by bringing his own camera to our ocean dives which has given us precious photos of our first dives!! He also took the time to point out some of the interesting things to see like moray eels and razor fish. I highly recommend this experience.

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!

Luke Porter

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.

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.

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.

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.
