Myself and my partner dived for 9 days with Charles and Kiwidivers in the incredible Andaman sea. Charles was a fantastic instructor and guide; he is competent and friendly, we always felt safe and he knew each dive site really well, sometimes taking us to areas where no other divers seemed to be visiting. We saw amazing wildlife while we were diving, and Charles also gave us time at each site to collect footage we wanted for a project. Both of us are certified divers but still felt like we improved massively during the course of the trip. We also completed the drift diver specialty with Kiwidivers, which was completed and signed off quickly. The dive sites themselves are special, and Charles ensured you get a variety if you go to the same island multiple times. Kiwidivers were extremely helpful with other travel tips, transport to the boat, and support when our gear broke/not appropriate for what we wanted to do. Could not recommend Kiwidivers enough, we had an amazing trip and will be coming back.

November 19, 2022From the moment my Wife and I contacted Charles at Kiwi divers to arrange 5 days with 15 dives we knew we were in safe hands. Both of us are experienced divers and know what bad looks like. We certainly were happy we found a safe, responsible and knowledgeable outfit. Charles met us at our hotel in the evening and took us to hire kit and sign up. Kit was well serviced and clean. The next morning transport to the comfortable and spacious dive boat took us effortlessly there and back. Once on the boat the operator was clear with instructions and safety was paramount. Breakfast , snacks and lunch onboard was better than some restaurants. Each dive was different with reefs, wrecks and wall dives. Diving is always subject to nature and unpredictable at times however Charles managed to tick all the must see for wildlife inc Reef sharks, Eagle Ray, Bamboo Shark and even pulled out a Leopard Shark from somewhere. The dive pace was suited to us with limits set and appropriate for experienced divers. Space and time was given to us during the dive and never put a fin wrong with guiding. During the surface intervals Charles always spent time with us discussing dive plans and adapting where needed. Charles was keen to answer any questions we had about Thailand, diving and equipment. My wife was interested in starting underwater photography and Charles was professional in taking time to explain equipment and requirements. Pricing for the diving and boat experience was exceptional value for money compared with live aboard prices with the benefit of an island experience. Thank you Charles and Kiwi divers. We have already recommended you and will return.

November 19, 2023My first time diving and I completed the Open Water SSI certification. Charles lead me through getting familiar with the equipment and helped me get comfortable with breathing underwater in the pool. The next two days we dove at Racha and Phi Phi. Both beautiful sites. I felt well taken care of on the boat; Charles making sure we were ready for the dives. Highly recommend.

Charles is great. If you looking to see some of the best underwater in Thailand give them a call. Good English communication if needed.

November 19, 2023It was an amazing experience! I started my diving journey with Kiwidiver, under the guidance of Charles, who is a really great instructor. I felt calm and pretty confident under water as we trained how to manage possible stressful situations. I received knowledge of equipment, underwater behavior, navigation and so many other important things…There was always something interesting and new to learn from Charles about underwater life and diving. True professional with passion. So huge + for the instructor! Organization of open water dives was excellent. Pick up on time. All equipment needed was provided. Even nice food and drinks all time on boat! Diving sights - super cool. Sunken ship, bright coral reefs, diversity of sea animals of different shapes and colors. I am very thankful that I have chosen this company to learn diving! Highly recommend Kiwidiver 100%!

November 19, 2022We booked three days of diving with Kiwidivers in December, we felt very welcome in their office when trying on the equipment. We embarked the next day on a boat and met our guide, a really nice and professional french divemaster. We had a great day of diving! Unfortunately we ate at the night market in the evening and my girlfriend got sick, we cancelled our next two days of diving. Obviously we couldn't get our money back for the 2nd day as we cancelled last minute but kiwidivers arranged a refund for our third day. Extremely professional, nice and down-to-earth owner, I would definitely come back! Thanks again for the awesome experience!

I dived with Kiwidivers to get a PADI open diver course. Even though it was a high season in new years holiday, the shop owner was very flexible to arrange training and diving schedule. He was really good at teaching beginner like me. That was a great dive experience thanks to them.

February 19, 2024I booked a day trip with Kiwidiver in Jan 2018 and had an awesome day. Other than the main street dive centres, Kiwidiver uses higher end equipment, as they are specialised in Technical diving. So for all courses and day trips they use Frog BCDs and APEKS regulators, which are owned by and serviced at the dive shop (and not rented). I booked 3 fun dives at Racha Noi and Racha Yai. Meeting point is the Kiwidiver shop, where you'll be fitted in your scuba gear and from there transferred to the peer, which is a mere 5min drive from the dive center. The dive boat was large and did not feel crowded. There is breakfast, lunch, snacks, water, tea and coffee provided. Dive time is 50min at each site, so make sure you've set up your equipment and are ready to jump. Your instructor will tell you the boat time before starting the briefing. Between dives you can stretch out on the sun decks and enjoy the cruise. Don't forget to take your own towel, sun lotion, sun glasses and maybe a book if you're travelling solo. Also some cash, so you can leave a tip for the boat crew!

What to expect when diving in Phuket
Unleash the Adventure: Explore Phuket’s Underwater Wonderland
Dive into the heart of the Andaman Sea and discover why Phuket is a diver’s paradise. At Kiwidivers, we specialize in crafting unforgettable scuba diving experiences that bring you face-to-face with the ocean’s most stunning wildlife. Whether you’re a seasoned diver or just starting, our fun dives are designed to thrill, inspire, and connect you with the natural world.
Why Choose Phuket for Scuba Diving?
Phuket’s waters are teeming with life, offering divers the chance to see dozens of species in a single dive—far more than you’d typically encounter on land-based wildlife tours. From vibrant coral gardens to majestic underwater rock formations, every dive is a new adventure. Our expert guides will take you to iconic sites like:
- Phi Phi Islands: Known for their crystal-clear waters and thriving marine ecosystems, the Phi Phi Islands are a must-visit. Glide alongside schools of tropical fish, spot graceful sea turtles, and marvel at the kaleidoscope of colors beneath the waves.
- King Cruiser Wreck: This sunken ferry is now a thriving artificial reef, home to groupers, snappers, and barracudas. Explore its fascinating structure and witness how nature has reclaimed this man-made marvel.
- Shark Point: Don’t let the name scare you—this site is famous for its leopard sharks, moray eels, and vibrant soft corals. It’s a haven for marine life and a favorite among photographers.
Closer to Nature Than Ever Before
Scuba diving isn’t just a sport; it’s a gateway to a world most people never see. Imagine floating weightlessly as a sea turtle glides past, or watching a school of angelfish dart through the coral. The ocean is alive with activity, and every dive offers a chance to witness something extraordinary. On average, divers in Phuket encounter dozens of species in a single dive—far more than you’d see on a safari or jungle trek. It’s an experience that brings you closer to nature in a way that’s both humbling and exhilarating.
