Phuket Dive Tours Padi Open Water Course (18m)
emilsI2325GE, 21-09-2022
I did the 3-day padi open water course in Phuket, first day was in the pool, second day was a trip to racha noi and third day was a trip to phi phi. Tim was a very good teacher, always calm and helpful. It was an amazing experience.
Fab team of boat operators and diving instructors

We did a private scuba dive booking. The staff was amazing and super patient as all of us were non certified divers. Diving instructor Mod was exceptional and we would happily go back to this dive operator just to go diving with her.
Wonderful!

Mod was a wonderful and knowledgeable instructor. When I when I panicked during the second dive, she very calmly and professionally brought me to the surface. Afterwards she made me feel comfortable enough to do the third dive and I very glad I did because it was an amazing experience!
Great experience! Request Mod if you can!

We had the most amazing guide with Mod. She was informative, patient, skilled, and incredibly friendly. I was pretty nervous about diving for the first time, and her knowledge and instruction put me right at ease. What a fantastic experience! Thank you Mod!
Thank you Tim!

The hi-light of our trip to Phuket. Fantastic experience and a must do on your to do list. The diving tours are organised very well and professional.
Ask for Tim to be your instructor and buddy. Everyone knows and love this guy!
Thank you Tim for your patience with myself and the wife. If it wasn't for your motivation we would not have completed our PADI's.
Thanks you guys! See you soon.

First time diving and now I want more! Tim did an amazing job from the start creating a safe calm environment to learn within. Completing 3 dives though the day I saw a wide variety of sea life. The first dive everyone got the grips of how to dive, the 2nd and 3rd dive we was exploring the coral as a group. Good good is prepared on the boat throughout the experience. Professional photos was taking of us during the dives with an option to purchase at the end. Would recommend to anyone who wants to see sea life, don't need to know how to swim!

Timothy AKA "Tim" , Lad from Lancaster :) , thanks for the most wonderful experience early this week.
Rewind to November, when we were looking for Scuba Dive tours in Patong, Thailand. I came across "Phuket Scuba Dive Tours" online. Their passion for what they do and attention to safety caught my attention and i decided to go with them. Boy was i in for a surprise.
D Day - Got picked from the hotel and dropped of at a pier where we met " Tim" who was to be our instructor and guide for the day.
There is much to write, alas i need to keep it short. There was plenty of food onboard, hosted by wonderful young people working really hard to make us feel home and comfortable.
Tim was exceptionally good at teaching us basics of scuba and in the manner he acclimatised us to breathe under water using scuba equipment was just amazing.
HIs experience as rescue diver , who has had a role to play in "Gunnies book of world record" ( you need to hear it from Tim) clearly shows in the water.
I was astonished to witness his skills in play. Tim easily dragged the bouy which had weight tied , with us hanging on to the bouy with full dive equipment on our backs while Tim had his own equipment on his back, all this while swimming backwards towards the boat. That says it all about Tim’s skills in the water. We felt truly safe.
Tim is truly one with the water while he is diving. He has soo much to share , just not about diving but life itself. I would always recommend asking for Tim and look for "Phuket Dive Tours".
Tim if you are reading this mate , we have planned to return back to Patong for a PADI course and hoping you will be our instructor.
All the very best to you my friend.

Great experience

Dave and his team are super friendly and forthcoming. Though we ran into some difficulties due to the weather conditions and had to change plans, they were quick to find solutions and accommodate us.
Jon was a wonderful dive instructor, he made everything seem super easy, provided great explanations and shared helpful tips, while being patient and empathic throughout. This was my first proper diving experience and Jon made me feel safe at all times, he was very encouraging and gave me confidence. I'd love to dive with him again!

This place was great the staff (Jon) is all amazing they are very helpful and kind. Jon knows what he is doing he is very good at making sure you are safe and smart but still having fun and being adventurous. They have good gear that is clean and nice. Their pool is perfect to start in and then the ocean spot that they offer are great to learn then see ocean life. I was very happy with the whole experience and would do it again.
Amazing finish for our dive certifications
chrisdQ9540DR, 12-11-2022
Working with Jon Parr, we dove with him for 3 days total of 9 dives. We’re able to finish our open SSI water diving certification, and our advanced adventurer certification. He was super helpful, love what he does and is very sincere. He had a full camera and was able to capture great moments. We were on the freedom dolphin first two days, food was amazing. All Halal food, but I would have not known unless they said something. Second boat was the Mandarin 5. Nice boat to take out to Phi Phi islands. Fast boat good food again, beer for purchase for only 65 thb. During our dives we explored a shipwreck, swam into a cave, swam with sharks, turtles, fish. All an amazing experience and tough to top. Shuttle already set up for us to and from. Tough to beat this team, thank you again.
Awesome Day

We had an awesome experience. Absolutely worth it. Very big boat with excellent food, Drinks and equipment. Our instructor was Tim mayor, a lovely, experienced and patient Brit who took is step by step through the needed skills. We felt very save the whole trip during the dive and Tim and the crew helped us get ready where they could.
The spots at Raya island are a little bit crowded, but we had much fun nevertheless.

Best instructor and best experience for beginners
jchang103, 29-12-2022
I finished my three day scuba diving lessons including 2 beach dives and 3 boat dives. Had the best instructor Ms. Kwan and the best experience! Highly recommend her for her teaching skills, patience and experience. While on the dives, she was also very responsive to students performance under water and made my first few dives so enjoyable and relaxing.
