We were so glad to join Sunrise for the discovery dive as it is still the most talk-about highlight of our holiday. Before even arriving at Phuket, Jamie answered all our inquiries patiently which truly stood out from other diving centers. We met with Jamie the day before our dive and he nicely guided us thru the fit out. We... More

I booked online through "Sunrise Divers", but the company seems to actually be called "Dive Asia", so I'm not really sure how that all works, but I don't really care. I must have tried to get in contact with over 10 different dive companies for our trip to Phuket, but Jamie is the only one that responded promptly and professionally.... More

After reviewing many dive companies online I chose Sunrise Divers for my introductory diving trip. They have a great reputation online and did not disappoint. My instructor, a British man named Neil, was both professional and courteous. I never felt unsafe at an time. With his guidance I was through the basics fairly quickly and onto a fantastic adventure beneath... More

Sunrise seem to get 5 out of 5 on a lot of the reviews here and its not surprising. We booked the advanced open water PADI course and the over night Phi Phi trip with them about a week before we came to Phuket. Unfortunately due to weather conditions the over night trip was not possible and the friendly &... More

One of the easiest dive companies I have ever dealt with. I first enquired online and got an immediate response,Jamie was very helpful and efficient,even suggesting various hotels for us to stay at. We didn't book immediately preferring to wait until we were in Phuket as we were a bit worried about the weather.However once we decided to arrange diving... More

I wanted a personalised one on one PADI certification for my son while on holiday in Phuket to take advantage of the lovely warm water (29 C!). Jamie from Sunrise was super friendly and sorted this out working around other tours we had selected during our stay. The dive master Neil Stretch was professional, trustworthy and had a good sense... More

We would like to let you know what a wonderful experience we had with Gary... More

we booked a six night live aboard trip through Sunrise Divers, on Nautica. The website gave a clear idea of what the boats were like. Jamie was extremely helpful in planning, very quick to respond to emails, with plenty of useful information. When we walked into the shop to check the rental gear, he looked up and said - you...

4 of us rented two cabins on the South Siam III out to the Similan Islands in April through Sunrise Divers in Phuket. We did a similar trip with them 7 years ago and liked it so much, we booked again. The staff took good care of everyone - with a range of dive capabilities. Food was good. Bring you... More
