A cracking experience in the hands of a top class team who know EXACTLY what they’re doing.
Sea Bees at Nai Yang is an extremely efficient and professional team of people who take great care in their briefing and debriefing. They are fun, highly knowledgeable and energetic. Michael and Julia, as well as all the team (whose names I cannot spell, let alone pronounce) are to be commended for their diligence and attitude. Spot on! Two dives lasting an hour each. Wonderful diversity of sea life. Water and light snacks provided for sustenance. An all round great experience. Thank you.
Response from the operator: Hi there, thank you so much for your wonderful words — this really means a lot to us ❤️🐠 We’re so happy you felt in good hands and could fully enjoy your time with us. Moments like these are exactly why we love what we do 💙 We’d absolutely love to welcome you back for more dives anytime 🐠❤️ Warm regards Michael, Tiin & our amazing crew

Fun and knowledgeable with nice staffs.
This is my first scuba diving. I was excited and nervous cause a lot of knowledges has to be learned but I’m so lucky to join this diving center. The instructors are very good and always care about my safety first. All the questions could be answered so I can dive with safe and knowledgeable. Highly recommend for who wanna try explore the underwater world both for Thai people and foreigner or whoever wanna spent your holiday with interesting activity.
Response from the operator: Thank you so so much for your time to write the review! It is always a great pleasure to join the first steps into diving... and especially for Thais!

Fun, professional -- a wonderful introduction to diving
For our half-day introduction to diving, my friend and I were lucky to have Guston as our guide. A great combination of professional and fun, he also has the superpower to communicate what we needed to do and why in a way that was easily digested and remembered. Not to say we were his best students, but thanks to his instruction and encouragement, we were able to have an amazing time exploring the beautiful coral areas teeming with fish. The whole team was extremely knowledgable and friendly, from the minute we arrived at the shop to get sized up for our gear to the boat crew, to the team members supporting us when we returned, exhausted but delighted after our two dives. I would highly recommend See Bees and Paradise Diving to experience beautiful experience of diving with professional instruction from a first-rate team. Definitely hope to be back for another unforgettable day!
Response from the operator: Dea Majioska, Thank you much for your great review... Our Gaston is a super hero... thats so true! We are very very happy that you joined us and did your first steps into the ocean with us! Thank you! Maybe you would like to continue being the best students while doing the whole course one day! We will be here for sure! Have a great christmas time and a very happy New Year!!! Sea you soon! Michael, Tiin, Gaston and all of our great crew!

Perfect First Time!
My daughter, 10yrs, had never been diving, snorkelling and had only swum in the sea once in her life. Tiin took her on 2 intro dives for approx 40 minutes and taught her everything she needed to know to feel confident enough to do so. Tiin was calm, confident and caring - everything that would instil confidence in a parent and diver, and my daughter felt 100% secure with her. I highly recommend diving with Tiin and her team - especially if your child is going to dive (she was amazing with the children!). My daughter can't wait for our next trip to Nai Yang and to go diving again. Thank you Tiin and team - this was a perfect first-time experience!!!
Response from the operator: Dear Miki, Thank you so much for you lovely words! Having a sweet little fish in the water like Sana... it is so beautiful and nice to share our passion for the ocean! She did so really really good and is so patient herself!!! We would love to welcome you both back in Nai Yang and maybe do the next step together! We will be here for sure! Have a great time sweethearts and we hope to see you soon in our Paradise! Big hug, yours Michael, Tiin and our awesome crew!!!

Why this scores 62
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
2 dives on coral reefs - no prior experience required: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Phuket.
How much does 2 dives on coral reefs - no prior experience required cost?
+
Prices start at $183 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Phuket usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 2 dives on coral reefs - no prior experience required take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Phuket is not rushed.
Is 2 dives on coral reefs - no prior experience required worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 17 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Phuket, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 2 dives on coral reefs - no prior experience required?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 2 dives on coral reefs - no prior experience required suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 2 dives on coral reefs - no prior experience required?
+
Around 6 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Phuket can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Phuket and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 2 dives on coral reefs - no prior experience required start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Phuket within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Phuket?
+
On Outty we rank every Phuket experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Southern Flavors Phuket Food Tour with 15+ Tastings, James Bond Island by Big Boat w/ Sea Cave Canoeing and Lunch, Phuket Thai Cooking Class with Market Tour Option. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Phuket?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Phuket?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in 2 dives on coral reefs - no prior experience required?
+
Included: Bottled water; Use of SCUBA equipment; Snacks; National park fees; and Professional guide/dive instructor. Not included: Gratuities; Souvenir photos (available to purchase); and Hotel pickup and drop-off. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for 2 dives on coral reefs - no prior experience required?
+

We are directly behind the gate and you can already see us there ! Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

+
