Thoroughly professional, perfectly guided, and an awesome experience for a first timer. Shout out to my instructor Ash who made it better. Wouldn't think twice before diving with them again.

I did my advanced open water and a few days of fun dives with Aussie Divers.

Alban was an amazing instructor, person and lots of fun. He was extremely patient with me while I got re-acclimated with diving after so many years.
For the course portion, he taught me so many new things that will help me progress as a diver going forward. And skills that I will continue to work on improving.
I saw so much marine life of all kinds that I had never dreamed to see.

Lara was a great guide too on my last dive day in Phuket! She was fun and took us on some amazon dives! Nothing but good times.

Everything with Aussie divers as a whole was simply amazing. Great people, fun and sights.

I can't thank you and your team enough for helping me achieve something that has been on my bucket list for many years!
If/when i do make it back to Phuket, i know what center i will be calling :)

Lara, the divemaster/instructor was very good. She is very professional and fun at the same time. She was very active in finding interesting sea life to show us while ensuring that we were diving in complete safety. We were lucky to dive in the middle of a school of barracudas, seen 2 octopuses, multiple eels and even 2 whale sharks (from the boat only). I would recommend anyone to dive with Lara.

Hi Stephane. Thanks for this great review of you and your groups recent day trip to Racha Islands. It is fantastic to hear that you enjoyed a very professional, fun and completely safe time diving with our Instructor Lara whilst also finding a variety of marine life. Barracuda, octopuses and Whale Sharks (from the surface) are all nice entries for log books. Thanks also for the very kind recommendation and we hope to see you back here in the future for another great diving experience. Happy diving.

My experience with Aussie Divers was great!

The owner, Darren GasPari, was hands-on personal and informative from my first email inquiry through pist-visit follow-up. All the staff were terrific, efficient, friendly.

Dive Master Mike was fantastic in every way. He's customer focused, knowledgeable, friendly, and above-all safe. He really made the experience special, fun, and memorable. I'm not used to diving with the large numbers of divers we experienced at Phi Phi, and Mike was somehow able to keep our small group together despite the crowds and low viz and provide a tailored experience. I cannot say enough good about him.

I really appreciate Darren telling me about the Aussie Divers lodging, too. It was a very practical, if basic, solution for two nights, and it gave me a taste of local culture and extra time on either side of each day not spent in transportation to/from resort properties elsewhere in Phuket.

Can't wait to return!

Love to dive around the world and wonna share my passion with the kids.

Met Simon at the dive shop and he explained all well and clear. Followed up the next week to make the arrangements and the kids have been signed up for the junior open water certificate.

The first the day for theory and pool dive they had Alix as instructor which they enjoyed to get comfortable and understanding the gear.

The next two days have been cancelled due to bad weather. The following two days and dives have been with Lara as instructor who took the time to get them comfortable on the boat, for the brief and underwater.

Both loved their first underwater experience and are excited to go soon again.

Darren appreciate your well run dive operation and as well your great communication.

See you all soon again...
