Excellent experience and great value for the money. Seafarers set up the poet entry and gear perfectly, easily communicated through WhatsApp. Pickup/dro-off was on time and smooth. Guides spoke great English and were very helpful. Kit (Somkid) was excellent! Very patient, very knowledgeable. Shared lots of info about Thailand and the oven. Boat was very clean. Food was great and served often. Plenty of drinks and snacks.
My guide from Rumblefish was amazing - John Smith - he was very good and I would recommend booking through them instead. I was disappointed to hear that SeaFarer are just a third party and outsource everything. When I arrived, the tour guide stopped replying and I was only able to get onto the boat and my dive because of another company kindly took me under their wing. They put you on a boat with many different companies. Aqua mermaid was the company that took me under their wing and they are also worth a booking! I would avoid Seafarer and book directly through Rumblefish(ask for John) or Aqua Mermaid (ask for Alain). Both Alain and John were so helpful and amazing on my first dive. I am only giving three stars since they booked me with John and he was great. I highly rate the diver not the company.
Great first experience with Seb. Clear concise instructions, he was very attentive throughout.
My husband and I had a blast! He’s a beginner and the guide was awesome with him while understanding my experience with diving as well :)
Very friendly instructors and staff. Excellent diving conditions. Well organised, decent food, and a unforgettable day.
It was a little chaotic getting on the boat. There are a lot of people going to different boats at the same pier, at the same time. Our guide got us through all of that. Our guide also brought a couple of cameras and took some great photos and videos for us. That was very helpful. Overall, it was a fun time and we are glad we went on this tour.
Amazing experience, extraordinary. I was so scared at first but the instructor was very calm and cool and explained things well. Definitely recommend zie he is the best
Yo! Had a blast of an experience! Fun Thrilling and everything it was really amazing.
Second trip with Seafarer, chose to go with them again after having such a good experience first time round and this trip proved to be just as good. Took my 11 year old son who is just getting into diving. The crew are all so friendly and great with kids. Our instructor clearly knew his stuff and took care of us both, making sure our knowledge was up to scratch before our first dive. He really looked after my son, giving me space to enjoy my dive and to watch my son enjoying his. Organisation is good, food just right and coffee/juice available throughout the trip. I paid extra for video/photos of our dives and, for me, well worth the money. No real negatives, but if you are prone to seasickness, make sure you take your tablets well in advance, if the breeze gets up it can be quite rocky!
Had a beautiful day diving with the lovely instructor Tum who was so patient and kind and did everything to make my experience wonderful and happy. Everything was very neatly organised, got tranfer from my hostel, drinks and food all throughout the day, all the equipment was very well maintained and everything went so smoothly. Dived in two spots and shnorkeled in a third, saw many fish, baracudas, cuttle fish, two huge turtles and lots more. Would definitely come again if I could and highly recommend :))
Really kind and taking a lot of pictures ! Thank you for the day and kind explanation. Nice weather and a lot of fun activities
It Was an excellent opportunity and every thing perfectly executed, and the instructor was a very creative and professional and collaborative man. Thank u all for the excellent work
It was my first ever dive and it was amazing thanks to , Som Kid and Tum. Food was excellent , staff was very nice and the service is really good. Highly recommended ❤️
Professional guidance by diving instructors On and Tom. Fantastic dives in clear water, tastey lunches and good equipment. I would recommend to anyone interested in learning to dive!
Perfectly organised from our villa pickup to dropoff. We are a family of 5. 2 divers and 3 snorkeling. Seamless boat trip which handled the waves well on a choppy day. 3 Dives were fantastic. Dive masters were great and we had zero stress all day. Yummy breakfast lunch and tea. A top day out. Highly recommend.
It was amazing!!! Instructor was very helpful and nice! Very good trip! Diving was amazing and saw amazing things! I highly recommend!!!
The diving experience was great, we hald a lot of fun and would definitely do it again. The water was very clear and our guide was super nice:)
Total duration of the day trip 12hr...7hr travelling than not even 2hr of diving/play... This program is for those wanting to pay to sit 7hr and swimming looking at sand. This is how it went for me. Pickup time was 6.50am but came at 7.20am. Arrive at meet up point 8.00am to wait around in the rain, for god knows who to show up collect me to meet my instructor. Then to be shouted by randoms to walk to the pier. Eventually onboard boat and waited my turn to get fitted 9.00am. The weather was rough and it took 2hr to get to 1st dive at round 11am. Dive for 30-35min with saw alot of sand. break interval then jumped off again during lunch time as others eat... Pushed hard to upsell photos service discounting over and over... but there I could've counted all the marine creatures in 1 hand. If I want photos and videos of sand in would go to the beach not diving... Bored out of my mind... Low standard of operation and top notched chit chat with persuasion to new divers to leave good reviews People that reviewed must really like sand alot after all they paid for the photos surrounded by sand...
It was my first time scuba diving and Tom was my guide. He helped me and treated me like a brother. Felt very safe and the overall experience was fantastic!! Will recommend to anyone trying scuba diving for the first time.
Amazing experience, very professional instructor. Very Good time as a beginner like me who doesn't have experience even in swimming
Scuba diving refresher course with the nicest diving instructor. Very good service and friendly staff. Good boat and good food.
Absolutely best day! Our Scuba instructor, Tum, was so helpful all day. From taking photos to giving light hearted and needed advice. My partner isnt the strongest swimmer and was still accomadated here to snorkel in a comfortable and safe environment. Would highly recommend to anyone keen to see these beautiful corals and fishies.
Very good experience, very good equipment. Khun Tum was very patient with me as I needed a refresher after not diving for quite a while.
Tum is very nice and patient. He took very good care of my son and me. And he was also a good coach for new divers and guiding me while diving. Thank you very much Tum.
It was a great experience by all standards. We loved diving with this Company and our instructor Gum was incredible. We dived twice.
I had an unforgetable memories there in the sea while diving with my buddy Tum. Saftey was on top. Food was also nice Cheers
This was something to tick off the bucket list! What an amazing tour. 100% the best tour in our two weeks in Thailand! Our guide, Tum, was an incredible person. He was always checking in on us, teaching us his ways and safety tricks while in the water. I can truly say he went above and beyond to make us feel safe, happy and certainly allow us enjoy our time. At the end he was the only instructor to surprise us with a certificate for diving which was such an amazing way to end the tour! I would highly recommend this tour with Tum. A really humble person. Great service, Great experience!!
Teacher P’Tum and P’Somkid very nice and good skill! Staff also very nice and helpful! They took great care of us. We were not afraid even though it was our first time diving. It was a great experience! Even if you can't swim, don't be afraid.
It was a great experience by all standards. I loved diving with this company. I dived twice. The first time was in Phi Phi Island and the second time was in Racha Island. The shop has professional and practical people who help everyone no matter what their need is during diving. Misha was with me in Phi Phi Island. He was a good guide and professional in dealing. The second dive I was with Tum. He was a professional in dealing and always made me comfortable during diving. I had a camera and he was waiting for me to take pictures of the beautiful moments underwater and sometimes he took pictures of me. That was very nice. Also, the boat we went on was clean and spacious. It had two floors and a large deck for air cylinders, two bathrooms and a full professional crew.
Excellent tour everything is organized, seafarer really take a good care for every person going to scuba with them, the day before the trip they took our heights, weights, and shoe size to bring a us the perfect size of scuba gears. And the instructors Tum and somkid were sooo friendly and professional at the same time. Highly recommending this trip if you are looking for perfect experience in scuba diving.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The diving trip with Captain TYM was an unforgettable experience in every sense. From the moment we set off, TYM radiated enthusiasm and positive energy, making everyone feel comfortable and confident. He demonstrated his professional skills in guiding us, providing valuable information about the dive sites and the importance of preserving the marine environment. During the dives, TYM was always by our side, ensuring we enjoyed the experience safely. He had the ability to share insights about the marine creatures we encountered, which enriched the experience even further. Thanks to his wise leadership, we enjoyed magical moments underwater, exploring stunning coral reefs and vibrant fish. TYM's passion for the world of diving and his extensive experience made him the ideal leader, as none of us felt anxious or fearful. This journey made us feel like a part of a new and exciting world. Thank you, TYM, for this wonderful experience that will remain etched in our memories!
Amazing experience! It was my first time, everything was explained clearly, beautiful views and good food. Really good trainer! Highly recommend! 💙
Amazing experience and such a friendly and professional guide! Highly recommend this tour! Saw a lot of fish and beautiful coral!

It was a fantastic trip and our dive master Sea was excellent and very knowledgeable and helpful kind regards Paul from Denmark
Tum was a great instructor that was very helpful as a first time diver. Assisted and gave advice through out the trip. Boat ride was relaxing and comfortable, provided breakfast and lunch.
I embarked on an unforgettable adventure — my first-ever scuba diving experience. I was both excited and a bit nervous as I stepped into the water, unsure of what to expect. As I descended into the depths, I was immediately greeted by a breathtaking sight. The underwater world was like a hidden gem. Colorful corals swayed gently in the current, looking like delicate, living sculptures. Schools of tropical fish with vibrant hues swam around me, their scales glistening in the filtered sunlight. Some were small and swift, darting in and out of the crevices, while others were larger and more majestic, moving gracefully through the water. The clarity of the water allowed me to see every detail, from the tiny sea anemones clinging to the rocks to the soft, flowing tendrils of the jellyfish. Throughout the dive, my instructor, Ken, was absolutely amazing. He was incredibly patient and reassuring. Knowing I was a complete novice, he took the time to explain every step of the process before we even entered the water. Once underwater, he kept a close eye on me, making sure I was comfortable and following the safety procedures. Whenever I showed signs of anxiety, he would give me a thumbs-up and a friendly smile, which instantly put me at ease. His knowledge of the underwater environment was impressive, and he pointed out various interesting marine creatures and shared fascinating facts about them. Thanks to Ken's excellent guidance and the mesmerizing beauty of the underwater world, my first scuba diving experience was truly outstanding. It was a day I will cherish forever, and I can't wait to dive again and explore more of this magical world beneath the waves.
Believe me, this is the best scuba diving. You can book in Phuket. I am a beginner, and I had never done diving before, but the coach Ken made it really simple! One of the best moment of my life was diving there, and Ken helped me a lot controlling my an nervousness. Thank you so much to the team!
The whole course was amazing! Our Instructor was Ken ( Burapa), was a Great and helpful instructor! Bot was clean and dives well organised! Highly recommended!!
Very easy to understand the rules, the instructor was feeling and very confident. He explains us everything we have to know instead to do scuba diving. I would totally record booking this trip, all I can say we had an amazing time together, thanks to Matthew for everything, we even received a certificate. ***** stars
It was an incredible experience! Particulalry I believe our instructor, Ken, made it even more special with his positive energy, cheer and support! The boat, the meals, service, and the crystal clear water.. Everything was just perfect! Highly recommended!
I had great day. Had 2 dives and it we saw a lot. I had the instructor Ohn as a buddy and we had a lot of fun. Highly recommend Ohn as a guide. Overall great team that took care of the guests and chilled atmosphere.
Great dive trip with K as my guide. He navigated very well showing me a rusted bike, a pair of lion fish, a shipwreck and much more. Great location for beginners like me, and intermediates if you want to go wreck diving too.
As a first-time diver, my experience with Seafarer Divers Phuket was absolutely phenomenal! From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel completely at ease with their friendly and professional approach. The pre-dive briefing was thorough yet simple, ensuring I understood all the essential safety protocols and dive techniques. Once in the water, the instructors were incredibly patient and attentive, guiding me every step of the way. Their expertise and calming presence made me feel safe and confident throughout the dive. The underwater world they introduced me to was breathtaking—vibrant coral reefs teeming with colorful fish, and even a few unexpected encounters with a school of barracuda guppies. The equipment provided was top-notch, and their commitment to safety and conservation was evident. For anyone considering diving for the first time, I can't recommend Seafarer Divers Phuket highly enough. It's an unforgettable adventure that will leave you eager for your next dive!
Thank you very much for your kind words. I learned very quickly! Very attentive and gentle. I'll order him again next time, mostly very, very well produced.
Club Franco-Thai very nice. Our boys took their Padi Advanced with the Thai instructor. Diving trip to Racha Noi pleasant with family. Do it again!
Very good dive boat. Very good diving guide. Highly recommend diving with them. A day trip with good food, starting with breakfast on the boat.
Excellent attention and coordination, punctual, attentive and careful to detail, guide Tom was Super attentive to everything. 100% recommended
The water was crystal clear, the care was also great! As an absolute beginner with no previous experience, you could still experience two great dives, see a lot of fish and corals and just enjoy the experience. The explanations in advance were very helpful and even during diving the instructions were clear and gave a safe feeling.
