I did my open water PADI with the team back in 2006 and then returned for a 4 day liveaboad to the Similians 2007. Charlie and the crew are top shelf, equipment is brand new, one dive master fo two passengers was great. I always felt safe but also had a good laugh and made good friends with the Pommy... more

We wandered into Sunrise with low expectations (they're across from the Jungceylon near all of those crap vendors so we expected a puppy mill sort of dive shop) and we were really pleasantly surprised. Charlie talked to us for a good long time, explaining how their program worked, answering our questions, etc. -- no hard sell at all. He didn't... more

If you are thinking of giving diving a crack then you're probably in safe hands. If you're a diver who has dived a few different places then you'll probably be a little dissapointed. I found them great to deal with, good boat. Pretty average DM "Mike" proably said about 10 words total during the day which is a poor effort... more

My Husband and I have just returned from Phuket and we dived a total of four complete days. We completed our ADVANCED O/W with the sunrise crew and could not reccommend them more. Our instructer was Ryan who was south African (so spoke perfect english!) and he was calm, informative and fun. The food was really good and the timing... more

I'm a pretty hash critic but these guys are five star. My instructor (Phil) was a great guy and helped me though my open water course when I wanted to quit. I'd thoroughly recommend them for beginnings like me! Mark more

We, my hubby and I, both fell in love with the Sunrise Diving staff and instructors! Our first experience with Sunrise Dving was in Dec 2008. We booked for day trips to Racha Noi, Racha Yai, Shark's Point, and King Cruiser. We had a such wonderful time; we later decided to do our Divemaster course with them. For those of... more

So we arrive in Thailand and the first thing I notice is how much Scuba Diving is advertised out there. Ive only ever done a Discover Scuba course in a swimming pool before and that was back in 2006. My parents are keen divers and are always urging me to give it a try. So I thought i would. We... more

I managed a two-day breakaway trip to Phuket in Febraury 2009, eager to squeeze in a day's diving between no-fly limits. I walked in to Sunrise Diving and said my stuff: desperate to dive, not a single piece of equipment, just my logbook and PADI cards. They politely heard me out, didn't raise a single eyebrow and booked me a... more
