Friendly, professional dive shop. The entire trip was very efficient. The lunch they provided was fantastic. Good professional service at a reasonable price. I had a really good time diving with there shop and will do it again in the future

Excellent dive centre and very good team. I completed my open water course with John last weekend, he is an exceptional trainer and takes the time to ensure you are comfortable with the skills and understand them rather than just completing a course checklist. Highly recommended!

Great customer service. Very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. Went on two dives. The dive master “Dan the Man” was great. Lunch was good. I would definitely dive with them again.
Cons: The dishes on dive boat could definitely be washed better. Boat was little older could use a little tlc.

Friendly, professional dive shop. They combined our trip with another dive shop for economy. It made for a very crowed boat, but they still ran an efficient operation. The lunch they provided was fantastic. We dove a wreck followed by a reef. The visibility was pretty aweful, but typical of mainland Thailand (10 feet). The boat was large and extremely slow. The trip out and back was over 1 1/2 hours each way. Overall, good professional service at a reasonable price.

2 dives in a day. First dive was good, second dive was okay. I guess they should come up with some other dive sites where we can find many more species under water. Else everything was fine. Enjoyed the trip with Dan The Man ! Food was not that bad on the boat, boat was fine.

Terrible snorkeling tour....very disappointing. The instructors and the shop itself seem fine but the snorkeling/dive sites they took us to were awful. Boats and jet skis flying all around you, it was like snorkeling in a washing machine half the time because of all the wake from the heavy traffic. They show you a dive map with all kinds of great dive/snorkel sites and then take you to the closest island from Pattaya. Our two stops for the day were about 500ft apart, the opposite sides of the same little bay. Its definitely a diving tour that they take snorkelers along to help fill the boat. You spend most of your time waiting for the divers to get setup and go and then go do a little snorkeling. Not worth the time or the money. 1350baht per person, we could have just paid 60baht per person for the ferry to go to Koh Larn and just snorkeled off the beaches there and had a better time.
