My friend and I joined a SDS tour over Christmas 2011. It was the Christmas boat, so there weren't heaps of couples and families, and we all bonded in the fact that we were spending Christmas together =). Being a Christmas boat, there were decorations, wine (only after divings), and the instructors even sported Santa hats on Christmas Day. The... More

Already a few weeks ago - in Mid-February 2012 we did our first diving safari with SDS (#26). We combined the trip with a AOWD course which was great (do the paperwork BEFORE the trip so you can enjoy the trip more). We slept in the "honey moon suite" which is great because it's not a lot more expensive and... More

Having recently fallen in love with scuba diving while doing my open water certification, I had high expectations for my trip to the Similans. And, since I knew that the trip would eat up over half of my budget for Thailand on the trip, I was a bit nervous. But SDS made it worth every penny. I knew things were... More

My son, his friend and I have just returned from a Similan Dive Safari 5 day, 4 night liveabord in the Similan and Surin Islands.

Me and my family, returned for another vacation in Thailand. This time as a wedding witnesses for our friends! It suited me perfect, because then I could leave my wife and son for a few days of diving! As I wrote in my last review, the live-aboard (oct 2009) was excellent. I had high expectation for this trip as well.... More

We had booked and paid for a live-aboard trip with this company, when we couldn't go they were able to refund all of the monies paid, less the deposit. They would have refunded the deposit as well if they could have filled the spot however we had to withdraw at the last minute. What made this a better experience is... More

I did the day trip fun dive to the Similan Islands with SDS and can't recommend it highly enough! Great price, great food, great staff great dive what more could you want! The speed boat was comfortable and Diana, Chris, Jaew and all the Thai staff did everything they could to make you feel comfortable and ensure you knew as... More

Similan Diving Safaris We were thoroughly impressed by the efficiency (once we worked out that you need to fill out a booking request to get an email response, as the info@ address is not well monitored), and services provided by this operator. We booked a 2 day diving trip, with an overnight stay in a bungalow on one of the... More

I used this company for a one-day trip to Similan Islands. My wife and I are avid divers and we dove in a dozen of different countries. We were deeply disappointed by this company, its service, staff and prices. First, the issue started with the staff. We went to the company location the eve of the trip. The owner was... More
