I cannot thank Rachel, Joel and their team enough. Working in Singapore I took the opportunity to teach my friend diving. As I knew that diving in Phuket is good and I wanted to give a good experience to my friend we wanted to organize so we could go for the week ends to Phuket and do the Open water... More

THE OWNERS HERE LISTEN TO YOU AND GUIDE YOU TO THE BEST. We booked on Similan Queen dive boat to Phi Phi Island as snorkelers and had a great time! Two dives, tons of sea life, a white sand beach, great food and great conversation. The dive guides included us when they spotted something interesting. Shallow enough to be interesting... More

After having done the Advance Open Water with Oceanic, I returned to do the Rescue & Nitrox courses. This is why- They are a team of passionate & dedicated dive professionals, ensuring courses are well planned & executed. Lovely individuals- from owners, dive instructors to store staff. They promise to deliver & indeed they will. No frills whatsoever. Thank you... More

We were lucky enough to have a guide to ourselves, Steffan who was great fun, patient with us, and extremely knowledgeable about the marine life. Rachel Hewtin who works in the office was fantastic, very welcoming and ran the company... More

I have done three dives with this center and I strongly recommended. The divemasters have been very professionals, the boat very well equipped and the places where I have dived, much better. I have dived with others companies in Karon, but are worst A little bit expensive, but it is worth. More

I have come to the conclusion that trying to find a really good dive outfit in Phuket is like diving in poor visibility... You can swim round for ages seeing lots of average stuff unless you're lucky enough to stumble on something really interesting. Fortunately for me a friend recommended Oceanic and saved me the time and hassle! As an... More
