Simply awesome
Best diving school I have ever experienced! Everything was just right - great support, great equipment, special focus on safety (for the first time a dew school has provided me with online access to training documents in advance) and a very nice boat with everything you need. I learned a lot and had an indescribably great diving day, which I will certainly not forget. A thousand thanks to the great team! I can only recommend everyone to choose this diving school!

MUST DO EXPERIENCE
Aloha diving was great. I really enjoyed the couple that ran the company. The boat was clean / really relaxing, especially the upper deck which had bean bag chairs. The diving itself was beautiful. We went to an island and did the right part on the first dive and the left part on the second. They did an excellent job explaining the different kinds of fish / other marine animals that we were going to see down there. She also explained the different hand signals for the animals so that when she used them I could see them underwater. During the dives she really did an excellent job pointing out the different animals and key things worth seeing. She also helped manage my buoyancy to ensure that I wasn't struggling too hard down there in terms of maintaining depth. I had a wonderful time. She also used her camera underwater and took some awesome pictures of me and the clownfish that we saw. Great diving company and great dive especially for someone who is not certified.

Great First Experience!
Went to Phuket for our anniversary, my wife has been wanting to try scuba diving as long as I can remember. I was nervous at first to jump right in without any training or prior knowledge, but our Aloha Guide, Simon, was an incredible instructor who kept us calm, well-informed, and allowed us to have 3 amazing dives! By the third dive, I felt like a pro already! We tried the "Try Scuba Diving" full day trip with 3 dives, and it was everything we hoped for - easy transportation, great service, delicious food, beautiful views and incredible diving. The best part was that Simon took photos while diving and emailed them to us free of charge!(see below) Would absolutely come back and scuba-dive again with Aloha!

Why this scores 52
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Try Scuba Diving: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Phuket.
How much does Try Scuba Diving cost?
+
Prices start at $198 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 Try Scuba Diving take?
+
Plan for about 7 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 Try Scuba Diving 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 11 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Phuket, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Try Scuba Diving?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Try Scuba Diving suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Try Scuba Diving?
+
Around 4 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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Try Scuba Diving 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 James Bond Island by Big Boat w/ Sea Cave Canoeing and Lunch, Southern Flavors Phuket Food Tour with 15+ Tastings, Hands-on Thai Cooking Class Phuket 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 Try Scuba Diving?
+
Included: Use of SCUBA equipment; Lunch; Use of snorkeling equipment; Bottled water; and Tea and coffee. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Try Scuba Diving?
+
Detailed instructions after booking Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Try Scuba Diving offered in?
+
It is offered in German, English, French and Dutch. 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 Try Scuba Diving?
+
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 Try Scuba Diving 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 Try Scuba Diving 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.
What do travelers say about Try Scuba Diving?
+
Across 11 reviews averaging 5.0 out of 5, recurring themes include food and drink, photo opportunities. The tastings and food stops are a highlight for most reviewers.
