During the experience, you get an introduction and briefing on scuba diving and you are taught how to use the scuba diving equipment in shallow waters. Please note that this is not a scuba diving certification. Breathing underwater is a whole new experience - it takes a few minutes to get used to it. This is not a typical human behavior and it is completely normal to be a little hesitant to put your face in the water and inhale at the beginning. However, within a few moments, your body adapts and you will be taken over by the freedom of movement while discovering the amazing marine life!

In total it was a great experience and I would instantly rebook it, if I am visiting Phuket again with other friends. Although there have been more people on the boat, than I expected there was more than enough space for everybody. It's a perfect trip to meet up with other visitors and get to know people. The staff was more than just friendly and always trying to deliver the perfect experience. The islands and snorkel spots where really nice and we had enough time everywhere. Especially at the second spot where we snorkeled from the boat, the water was incredibly clear, even as a diver I have never seen such perfect water before! If you are thinking about a boat tour in Phuket, take this one, it is not as touristy as a lot of the Speedboat tours to the most crowded beaches ever.

Good organization, beautiful islands that are a little less touristy, enough time at the individual destinations, delicious food, great crew

Jean Mi was a great instructor, very patient and always making sure you are comfortable!

It was a great experience and the training was designed and adjusted to suit me.

Great experience- amazing underwater scenes. All kit/ food/ guidance provided.
