Fantastic dive company. Responded within minutes to my request, met me at my resort within hours to size the gear, and provided pick up and drop off service. Everything was included on the boat. John was a great dive master with decades of dive experience with the US special forces. Couldn't have asked for a better day (except maybe a bit more sun, but oh well). They were very accommodating and I would go with them again anytime.

My wife and I had scheduled one day with Mike at Samui Scuba Divers. I was in the process of completing my PADI course and wanted to get 2 of my 4 open water dives in Samui. My wife is more experienced and has had her certification for years. Mike did a great job of explaining everything slowly and thoroughly for me. Underwater all skills were broken up so it gave us the majority of time for a dive.
Mike is very well adept with the island and has been there for years. We went to Sail Rock which had a ton of activity. Trigger fish, barracuda, angelfish and on and on. It was like a city of sea life there, all in a spot no bigger than a large house. We finished 2 dives here and went through a little more than half of my skills. Mike was very accommodating and we had a meal on the ship. He also noted that he wasn't planning on going out the next day, however, if we were interested we could do another dive with him. We agreed without hesitation.
Our 3rd dive was at Mango Bay. A point to point dive meaning we traversed the bottom of the sea floor and got to 16 meters. Beautiful coral and lots of life again. We finished at Twins and once again, just beautiful.
Throughout our entire time with Mike, he was always looking for cool fish to see and any type of hazards we should watch out for. He pointed out trigger fish to us who are somewhat aggressive. Mike showed them to us in such a way that there was no danger whatsoever. We were close enough to see, but far enough to not have any issues.
All in all, Mike is a great diver, excellent instructor and probably one of the best guides in Samui. He knows most all dive sites in the area and is certified to one of the top levels. If we ever get back he will be our guide for sure. Do yourself a favor and talk with Mike if you thinking of diving in Samui.

Had 2 wonderful dives in sail rock. Showed up at the hotel right on time. Joe my divemaster was so nice and very helpful. The dives were all about me. He let me do whatever I want. Would love to go dive with them again in the future.

We booked a day trip for 2 dives at Sail Rock and it turned out to be one of the most amazing dive experience we had. Email responses from Paul were instant, providing us with ample advise and reassurances before the trip. He was also very professional and had safety as top priority during our dives. If you are planning to dive in samui, would recommend sail rock as it is the best dive site in the gulf of thailand! Plenty of marine life at all depths.

I had a great time diving in these 2 beautiful diving sites. The boat ride was somewhat rocky but the helpers onboard were excellent and polite. My dive master, Paul was attentive, friendly and really helped make the experience enjoyable. I would definitely return and use their service again.
Thanks Paul

Paul was my instructor for the basic open water certification. He made me feel comfortable every step of the way. Made sure that I really understood what was going on.
I'd done about a half dozen dives before. Wasn't really sure if I needed a license, but figured I'd do it while I had time in Samui. And I have to say - I am so glad I did it. I feel so much more comfortable in the water now, especially with scuba equipment, and being able to communicate underwater is so valuable.
My biggest tip - watch the videos before you get to Thailand, and if you are able to get the book from them when you arrive, do all the chapters before your first day of class. Things will go by a lot quicker, and you'll be able to know what areas you have more questions on. You'll save lots of valuable vacay time, and be able to get in the pool for hand-on learning so much faster.
You'll get lots of personal attention from Paul and Clive - great guys to work with!

I found Lamai Scuba Divers by chance and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. The staff were really honest and reliable. Fully explaining the possible tours depending on conditions and also what to expect on each.
Though the conditions weren't great (I was fully aware this could be the case) I still had a great time. My driver master was really fun and helpfully and made the trip an amazing experience.

June 2018, for our honeymoon, we are diving for several days with this amazing "Personal. Safe. Fun." diving centre.
I am the @ScubaLifeBE & @ScubaLifeSA group leader of our group of European and South African divers: the boat & boat crew they used for diving are just amazing.
The friendliness of the entire team is huge... A special thanks to Mike: he is a "beyond imagination" diving professional, radiating a very positive energy & vibe!
Extremely well done, keep up the good work and thank you very much!
All the best towards the future and looking forward to dive again with you guys in June/July next year ;-)

Hi,
Hope you can help me, I am looking to book a padi course with them, how do I contact them? I've sent them an email but no response...and I would prefer not to call them from UK as it may not be the cheapest option... I checked and there is nothing online either, dificult to find any price list, calendar with availability etc. in the same time I dont want to leave it for very last moment, would feel better to have it booked.
thank you in advance for help
