Technical Instructor Upgrade
I had been seeking an Instructor Trainer to take the next level of Technical Instructor training and upgrade to PADI Tec Deep Instructor. Kevin Black was recommended by a friend in the diving industry. Kevin and Vincent at Kiwi Diver are exemplary professionals and outstanding divers. I had a wonderful time and a massive learning experience at Kiwi Diver thanks to the professional approach to training and very real feedback. Kiwi Diver offers all levels of scuba diver training including top level Technical Instructor training. Their equipment is high quality and very well maintained. The shop area is well designed and ergonomically laid out, with video screens and a very spacious classroom. I recommend Kevin, and Kiwi Diver for all levels of scuba training, especially Technical Diver courses. I will certainly be back for more diving and training with Kiwi Diver.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your review. The team her at Kiwidiver are focused on high quality instructor training and were glad you selected us for your training. We wish you all the best as you move your business to the next level and look forward to helping you with future projects. Kevin Black.

Why this scores 44
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
PADI Discover Scuba Experience: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Phuket.
How much does PADI Discover Scuba Experience cost?
+
Prices start at $77 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 PADI Discover Scuba Experience take?
+
Plan for about 2 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 PADI Discover Scuba Experience worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 44 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1 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 PADI Discover Scuba Experience?
+
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 PADI Discover Scuba Experience suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book PADI Discover Scuba Experience?
+
Around 0 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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does PADI Discover Scuba Experience 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 PADI Discover Scuba Experience?
+
Included: Use of SCUBA equipment; Use of snorkeling equipment; and Genuine PADI Discover Scuba Program certificate and registration. Not included: Private transportation; Lunch; In-vehicle air conditioning; and Breakfast. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for PADI Discover Scuba Experience?
+
North end of Kata beach by the boat ramp Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is PADI Discover Scuba Experience offered in?
+
It is offered in German, Russian, Thai, English and French. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for PADI Discover Scuba Experience?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is PADI Discover Scuba Experience wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to PADI Discover Scuba Experience if the weather is bad?
+
This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
