Kiwidivers
The best SCUBA shop in Phuket for dive tours and instruction

My friend and I decided to take diving lessons during our holiday in Thailand last week and we had the most amazing time doing a PADI Open Water course. Our instructor was great and took care of us the whole time, making us feel comfortable with all the equipment, helping us get in and out of the water and being very patient while we did all the exercises. For the course we went to practice in the pool and at the beach and on the third day we went to Racha Noi island with the dive boat. You should know that all the beginner courses are done at the dive spots of the Racha Noi and Racha Yai islands because the conditions are easy and there is no current in the bays. There are nice and shallow spots with good visibility, which really lets you get comfortable being underwater. We really wanted to see the Phi Phi islands, but since they are a protected marine park, beginners are not allowed to dive there so that they do not damage the corals. Once you are certified however, you can book the trip and this is what we did. The boat ride there is around 3 hours from Phuket, but it is very enjoyable, as there are big sun decks where you can soak up the sun. The diving was beautiful - we saw a shark, Nemo fish and many colourful corals. The dive center is very professional and quite big. They have a retail store in case you want to get your own mask or snorkel. Also a separate equipment room, 2 classrooms and showers. We can only recommend the school and will come back to go to the other dive sites next time we're in Phuket.

Charles was the best diving teacher and instructor one can wish for. I started my Open Water course really scared and unsure if diving was for me. But Charles was incredibly patient with me, answering all my questions in detail and made me feel safe and confident to try my first ever dive. His calmness and patience helped me stay relaxed. He knows the area really well and what species to look out for at each dive site. He knows how to get away from other divers, finding our own routes which is why we got lucky to see sharks, leopard sharks, cuttle fish, sea horses and turtles. But each dive was special as Charles finds and points out even the smallest shrimp in their holes. I had such a great time I booked another dive the week after finishing my course.

Had an excellent time diving with Charles and Mint. Highly recommend. Did both boat dives and shores dives at night. The food on the boat dives was EXCELLENT.

Good service.feedback and communication received with out having to wonder what and where my course would be.

Great experience with Kiwi Divers in Phuket. As a repeat customer, I appreciate the professionalism and safety standards. Charles, the instructor, is very knowledgeable and patient. I highly recommend Kiwi Divers for both beginners and experienced divers. 🤿👌

Das Tauchen lernen hat mit Charles viel Spaß gemacht. Er ist freundlich, ruhig, erfahren und für ein gutes Gespräch zu haben. Ich habe mich gut aufgehoben gefühlt. Die Ausbildung war sehr angenehm und entspannt. Mit Charles haben wir die besten Sachen gesehen und viel gelernt. Danke!
