We visited Koh Samui during our Atlantis cruise. Made the reservation for our shore excursion a couple of months before and Adam was always very swift with responding. When we arrived he was waiting for us and we could start the island tour with the comfortable 4-wheel car. We visited some of major sights and due the excellent planning of... More

I would like to congradulate Rainbow Scuba Dive Tours for making my recent dive experiance to Raja Ampat, Indonesia, awesome The liveaboard boat catered comfortably for the 16 dive guests and the diving was pure magic, with an endless array of marine life and visability to dive for. This was my first dive charter organised by Rainbow Scuba and it... More

I'm an ex-pat working and living for some years in southeast Asia, and have dived in Thailand and Indonesia, over the years. Raja Ampat is easily the best diving I've ever been able to do! Pristine, not many other dive boats, no other tourists other than the few dive boats, beautiful sights above water and below. The Black Manatee dive... More

I am happy you enjoyed the trip to Raja Ampat. I do believe Rainbow Scuba has the most diverse group of gay divers: many nationalities coming together from all corners of the world and all dive abilities. Look forward to welcoming you onboard again soon. More

My partner and I had contacted Adam, the owner of Rainbow Scuba, in advance before arriving to Samui and had arranged a cycling tour for a day. It's very recommended - a great way to see Samui, not least because Adam seems to know every track, path and trail around Samui, well away from the crowds. We were so pleased... More

Glad you enjoyed the cycle and snorkel tours with Rainbow Scuba & Tour. It is true. We do so much more than only scuba. It is a shame TA does not let us change our name to reflect that fact. We look forward to welcoming all LGBT visitors to Samui, on land and sea. More

I contacted Adam a couple of months ago to organise a PADI Open Water course and am extremely glad I went with him.

We stayed a week at the quiet southern part of Samui (intercontinental) and booked three great tours with Adam. One snorkling tour, adapted to the weather conditions (high waves) Adam found us a quiet bay full of fish. We went a little further on for a delcious lunch in a tiny seaside restaurant. We were also lucky to meet two... More

We met Adam and arranged a 3-dive scuba trip 2 days before going. Adam was very pleasant and knowledgeable about the island having lived there for about 10 years or so. On the day of the dive, he picked us up in his personal truck - no tour bus making multiple stops - and took us to the boat. While... More

Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback on Trip Advisor. So glad you enjoyed our trip using the VIP Catamaran-to-Dive-Boat option. It is by far the most comfortable way to dive from Koh Samui. I hope you will carry on with your scuba adventures and take the PADI Open Water course one day! More
