Perfect for scuba diving

Amazing scuba diving experience in Phuket! Our trip was well organised and it’s good value (all equipment included, nice food and private diving instruction). Big thank you to the knowledgeable and patient instructor Lung! He made it easy for first-time diving, explained everything in detail and provided guidance to nice diving spots. We also took lots of great quality photos. Experiencing the beautiful sea life around Phuket is unforgettable, absolute recommendation.
If you are looking for fun and adventure Thailand is the right place. I Luv Thailand.

It was my second trip. We visited Phuket, Pattaya and Bangkok. It is good all places have decent Indian food now. There are plenty things to watch in all places. Carnival Magic, Simon show in Phuket. Wakeup show may be awkward for some people but worth the money.
Pattaya you get everything you get in Phuket but little cheaper.
Bangkok is a big town and require time to see. Great experience for solo as well as couples. Will go again after some months.

We had a great scuba experience. This wasn't a booking with a dive company, but we went on a large dive boat with a variety of other groups. Still, we had dedicated guides for us that kept us safe and made sure we knew all we needed to know. They also kept us company and visited with us, and they were great company.
Lolo and Nim were wonderful instructors and guides. The discovery dives aren't very deep, so it's a great time to roam around beautiful coral and take in all the smaller, amazing life that exists. They took cameras with them, and we have so many pictures of both our children and us enjoying the dive and a full catalog of the sea life we saw, including scorpion fish, box fish, porcupine fish, sea cucumbers, etc. And we told them how much we love feather stars, and they were sure to find lots of them for us.
While scuba experiences are more expensive than most of the other outings we did (almost 20 total), it is well worth it. To feel weightless in wonder and share the love of scuba from instructors is really a priceless time that will always be on our travel checklist.
The only item I would say is I wish they used the Padi site for dive logs, but that's partially my fault for not being ready to take down notes to log our dive.
I want to add that I also messed up the hotel for pick up with confused dates, and had to change my pick up the night before. They handled that change for me with no problem, which I truly appreciated.
