Nice scuba diving

Open water course
Highly recommend Phuket Dive Tours. We had Jon as our instructor. His instructor skills and the way he delivered the course was second to none. Would happily return to do the advance courses.

Absolutely amazing experience with amazing instructor!
I had the greatest experience scuba diving with Michael Kerr (Scottish instructor)! I’ve never went scuba diving before, so he was very thorough with directions and stayed by my side. I felt very safe, and he often made sure to check in if I was doing okay. By my second dive I felt very comfortable and was okay doing pretty much everything independently! Now I want to take the course and get certified! I would 100% recommend this trip to everyone, and thanks a bunch to Michael for being an attentive and fun instructor! If you are able to, I would also recommend you ask Michael to be your guide! Oh also the view underwater was unbelievably beautiful - we saw lots of fish and creatures. :)
Response from the operator: HI, Sarah, this is David thanks for taking the time to write about your great experience scuba diving with Michael Kerr It's great to hear that you had an amazing experience we hope to welcome you back so you can complete your course in the future Best wishes from all the team David Manager

SSI Basic Diver with Simon
THANK YOU for a great first time scuba diving! Simon explained everything thoroughly and clearly before we hit the water. I was super nervous at first, but by the time we did the second dive I was way more comfortable. Simon pointed out interesting details like little crabs inside the coral, a fish that blended right into the sand, pufferfish, and a swirling school of little barracuda that I was able to swim with like I was the Little Mermaid! The boat was comfortable, and it was lovely even getting to the dive sites—beautiful aquamarine water and clear blue skies and a healthy breeze in my hair. Overall, a beautiful day!
Response from the operator: Hi Esther this is David thanks for taking the time to write your review in relation to your SSI basic diver course with Simon - great to hear that you had a fantastic time and were able to see the beautiful underwater world Best wishes from all the staff at Phuket Dive Tours David Hall Manager

Wonderful time
I am new to diving, so I was excited and a little nervous when I signed up for the beginning tour. Well, I had a great time and have nothing to worry about since Phuket dive tours took wonderful care of me. I was given step-by-step instructions and felt secure that I was working with the company that I could trust. My instructor Roman was a great teacher and tell me everything I needed to know and expect to have fun and safe experience. he gave me a personal one on one instruction and was guiding me through the entire experience. By the end of the day I fely confident with my skills as a beginner diver and Roman taught me. I love tropical fish, So diving is a dream. In my three dives I saw tons of new things, including huge schools of fish giant puffer fish lots of moray eels, flounders, and even got to swim with a turtle thank you Phuket dive tours in Roman for a wonderful experience.

Scuba diving Pool lesson for beginners (1 hour ): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Phuket.
How much does Scuba diving Pool lesson for beginners (1 hour ) cost?
+
Prices start at $1500 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 Scuba diving Pool lesson for beginners (1 hour ) 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 Scuba diving Pool lesson for beginners (1 hour ) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 52 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 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 Scuba diving Pool lesson for beginners (1 hour )?
+
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 Scuba diving Pool lesson for beginners (1 hour ) suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 10. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 2-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Scuba diving Pool lesson for beginners (1 hour )?
+
Around 2 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 Scuba diving Pool lesson for beginners (1 hour ) 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, Phuket Thai Cooking Class with Market Tour Option, James Bond Island by Big Boat w/ Sea Cave Canoeing and Lunch. 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.
