I signed up with Dive Academy for my open water dive license. And that was the best decision I ever make! Our dive instructor, Paul, was so patient with me being such a nervous first time diver. He had alot of knowledge and experience to share with us and that helped me to feel calmer during my dives. Overall, Dive... More

From the first email exchange, to the last reminder the day before, the hotel pick etc etc, every thing was absolute top shape. Great speedboat, great crew, yummy snacks and drinks. And thanks Paul for your amazing guiding, I can never find those darn scorpion fish by myself!! Sail Rock is a top site, we had great conditions, and since... More

My dive with Dive Academy in Koh Smui was really great! My friend booked it easily via emails. So the location and dive was well adapted to what we would like to do and our level. The academy is highly professional, with a nice and friendly PADI instructor, great speed boat with free lunch and refreshments on boards, good quality... More

The 'try dive' in the Centara Villas swimming pool was a good way for me to see if i could cope with being underwater. Callan was very supportive both then and later when we dived in the sea. He explained things clearly and helped me to succeed. I hate being out of my depth in water, but found this an... More

Title says it all- I had a great time. Worth every penny. The guy's were great, the weather and locations were a dream, I can't recommend it enough- I can't wait to dive again- I just hope its somewhere as beautiful with people as nice!

We got to the first dive site (Shark Island) with little fuss even though the sea was very lumpy !!!. Good viz (15-20M) and loads... More

The Dive Academy are brilliant, from the simple try dive at the Centara Villas to the brilliant day out on the dive boat I loved every minute of it. Having dived on the Barrier Reef in a similar way there was no comparison in respect to the safety and levels of supervision and instruction the Dive Academy team give you.... More

A brilliant day out with some great dives. Excellent well-prepared staff really made the day. The only downside was the sheer number of divers at the first site although there was plenty to see. Highly recommended for both diving and a day's snorkelling!

I didn't realize how lucky I was going to be that morning walking down the beach to find The Dive Academy at Bandara resort, and to find Claire peacefully sitting behind the desk waiting to patiently answer any and all questions I could think of, but I hit the jackpot!! Easter week holiday I was contemplating a DSD for myself... More
