I did my OW certification at Phuket Scuba Club and I could not be happier. Chantal and Kevan were extremely helpful and gave me all the information I needed in no time. They are extremely professional and really involved in what they do. I did my course with Lauren and she was extremely professional, responsible and patient. She had an... More

Well done on passing your Open Water Course with us at the club! According to your Instructor you sailed through the course and she thoroughly enjoyed teaching you. It was also a pleasure to meet you and we certainly hope that you will come back some day soon again. Wishing you many safe dives! :-) More

From the day my girlfriend and I started our Open Water course, I knew we had found a new home. I went on to complete the Advanced Open Water, Rescue Diver, Emergency First Response and Divemaster courses as well as multiple fun dives, and I never thought about going to another shop because Phuket Scuba Club has it all. They... More

Thank you both so much for coming to dive with us and for continuing your diver education to professional level. You did this the right way by taking your time to build up experience rather than rush through all the courses. There is no doubt in our minds that you will make a great Diving Instructor. Who knows perhaps you... More

I went to Phuket Scuba Club with my girlfriend looking to do a shore dive. I wondered what we'd see underwater so close to a tourist destination but was impressed by the marine life at the nearby reef which was pointed out to us by the dive master. We'll definitely return - the little shop was right on the beach... More

Many thanks for your review even though it is less than favourable towards our company. However I am pleased that I have the opportunity through TA to respond to your complaints as it is really a pity that you never came to us directly with your problem. It costs nothing to politely inform us of our faults and we like... More
