Did the open water diver course and it turned out to be a great experience! My instructor, Alla, was very patient and vastly skilled. Got to experience the unique aquatic wildlife offered by Racha Noi/Yai and Phi Phi islands.

I undertook and completed a 3 day SSI Open Water Diving Course with Alla at their Kata Road location for 12,000 Baht. First day was a half day training at their swimming pool in Kata (830am to 1pm), second and third days were full open water dive days (730am hotel pickup and 5pm hotel drop off). You'll also have to complete some online study and tests beforehand, which I finished in about half a day. Breakfast, lunch and snacks were catered on dive days. Food was decent but not gourmet. We docked at Racha Noi and Racha Yai for lunch and you couldn't ask for better views. Alla was lovely and I felt well taken care of during the lessons and dives. She also took great photos and videos, which I purchased for an additional 1,500 Baht. My only reservation would be for non-native/ESL English speakers. Communication might be a little challenging for you as Alla had quite a strong Ukranian accent. I personally didn't have much of a problem. All in all, I had a wonderful time and would strongly recommend Phuket Dive Tours to most anyone.

Great experience, very friendly staff, clear explanation before entering the water, 2 divers accompanied us during our dive initiation, constantly checking how we were doing. Great boat with good facilities and nice lunch. Strongly recommended!

Great day. Brilliant instructor and crew. Boat was perfect size and not crowded and diving site was brilliant. Scuba first time and instructor was really good and guided me without any issues. Even better. Gan coached my wife to try snorkeling for the first time and she is now sold. Highly recommended.

Amazing from start to finish, great communication, I was only going to do the scuba cert but decided to go for the open water, so glad I did, amazing instructor Alla helped from start to finish,great boat and staff, good dive spots, highly recommend

This was an amazing dive trip. The crew and dive master were awesome! They were knowledgeable, well organized, safe and very helpful. The food was also the best you’ll ever get on a dive trip. They also stopped at a bay after the diving where everyone could swim, snorkel, and paddle board, which was a ton of fun.

This was our first dive as a couple together. Kann from Phuket Dive Tours made it so special for us..I will use them again.

Great dive center. I've been wanting to try diving for a long time, and after visiting Phuket and researching my options, I decided to take the SSI Open Water Diver course. It was a great decision, because, unlike the usual fun dives, the course allows you to learn the necessary theoretical base, as well as smoothly build up your practical diving skills. In addition, the obtained certificate will help you with diving in other places all around the world. I would also like to thank my instructor Jonathan Parr. He explained both the theory and the practical part of the exercises in a very accessible way. John was very friendly and approachable. He broke up our sessions so that I could learn new information and skills at a comfortable pace. I gained a lot of useful knowledge from him and overall, I couldn't have wished for a better teacher. Also, John is excellent underwater photographer, the photos from our last diving turned out to be really great!

We took the Open Water Course which included one pool session, 2 beach fives, and 2 boat dives at Racha Yai island. It was the best experience. The location of Phuket Five Tours at Kata Beach was best. They have own dive training pool there, and the place is located within walking distance to Kata Beach which was useful for the day-2 beach dives. Our instructor, Mr. Somkid, was so understanding and paced his training based on our abilities. We went slow but steady - and got certified within the 3 days of learning.

Great dives to King Cruiser, Shark point and Koh DoKMai. Special thanks to Sky took care of us with great professionalism and fun.

What a great day! We had the opportunity to dive with our experienced and charismatic dive master Sky. My husband and I are two Padi instructors who love to enjoy nice and relaxing dives with no stress and Sky was able to gave this to us, making as always diving an enjoyable experience. We began the dives with a refreshing jump into the water. Sky was all the time looking after us, guiding us through coral gardens, the sunken shipwreck and curious sea creatures. Although visibility wasn’t great, the vibrant coral reefs were breathtaking. Colorful fan corals, lots of fishes and anemones swaying in the gentle flow. Sky was showing us hidden Ghost Pipefish, Sharks and tiny nudibrabches. Lovely day to remember, looking forward to do it again ♥️

The diving was wonderful, an excellent transfer to the ship, a comfortable boat (big, a lot of space, еhere are three decks), and wonderful service (the scuba was assembled at the beginning of the dive, and it was also assembled every time after filling the balloon). And of course, beautiful reefs, beautiful inhabitants of the depths of the sea. I will separately note the instructor, Alla Vlasenko, she literally gave a lot of useful advice for 1-2 dives, perfectly weighed me, special thanks to her!

Just finished the 3 days open water course with Jon Parr from Phuket Dive Tours, he's an awesome instructor one can ever ask for, very professional, organized, patience, and take really good care of the divers. This was my first time learning to dive and was kind of nervous and panicky, but Jon was there every step of the way and made it a smooth sailing, thanks so much for this unforgettable memory Jon! You are the best!!! Hannah

My husband already has his diving license and I've been meaning to do mine for a while so we finally decided to do it now during our trip to Phuket. My instructor Jon (coolest British dude that you will meet in your life) was the most helpful, kind and patient teacher that I could have hoped for. It was a wonderful experience and he took away a lot of the anxiety that I had about doing my diving certification in a different country. Would definitely recommend Phuket Dive Tours and we will be booking future diving excursions through them again!

4th time in 2 years we have come back to Phuket to do courses and fun dives with Phuket Dive Tours. Fabulous everytime no matter what we did. Superb instructors and a great team. Highly recommended! Took me from a very nervous non diver to completion of my advanced adventurer. They go at your pace and safety and comfort is paramount. No 1 for diving in Phuket. A+++++++ Special thanks to Jon Parr, Tim Mayor, Dave and Benz. See you soon. Sara (Australia)
