1. This trip definitely does not include Hon Mon island as it promised in the web, but to Hon Mot instead. This is very dishonest. 2. The middle-man sent me a new address just 10hr before departure, which was 2Kms away from the initial gathering point. And I have booked hotel next to the gathering point shown on the web. This situation forced me to get up half an hour early. 3. I finally managed to showed up at 7am, but the boat disembarked at 8:30, we had to wait for some no-show guests. If you cannot keep any promise you stated on the website, you should be sentenced to bankruptcy back in my country. I don’t know why such cheating propaganda is still online without any bad reviews. The good thing is the dive guides are nice and helpful. It looks like viator just sold my bookings to some random middleman. Which is quite irresponsible.
Hi Yixuan, Thank you for your feedback. We apologised for your dive trip with any inconvenience with us We would let you that Hon Mun was closed 5 years ago to protect the marine lifes so nobody can go diving there anymore. We only go other dive sites around Hon Mun. When we received your booking. We sent the new address to your phone and message to you on Viator right away we got your booking Finally the boat often leaves at 8 am from the habour every day but unfortunely 2 other customers came late because they stayed on vinperal island and forgot their personal belongings so they have to go back hotel to get it that was why they were late but you know that day we only had 3 customers including you so if we left them behide we lost so much money for that day . That is why we have to wait for another customers to cover our expenses.Please understand for us .Again we were really apologised for your inconvenience trip. Much appreciated your feedback Sailing club divers team
Excellent first diving experience! Instructor Vu patiently guided us through our first dive experience, and led us through the dive sessions safely. Ensured we were all OK before proceeding and it was amazing discovery dive experience! Be calm and enjoy the diving experience!
I am not good at sports in general. But the diving instructors were so helpful in making sure our experience was as enjoyable as possible. Thanks to my dive instructor Vu, who did a wonderful job in guiding my friend and I on our first dive.
Prior to the trip, communication was relatively fast and clear. THANK YOU for the no-fly-after-dive reminder as I nearly arranged the tour on my flight date. During the tour. I am very grateful to Mr Khuong and team for taking good care of me. Though I have never dived before, at no time do I feel scared as the trainers are professionals n obviously know their stuff Overall, i had a great time and would recommend others to choose Sailing Center divers for a safe, professional experience.
Everything was as agreed, from communication, activities itself and food. The guys are experienced divers, we felt completely safe, they made it easy and fun for us, when it was obvious they are taking it siriously and profesionally. The atmosphere on the boat was relaxed, it was not crowded, the food was actualy tasteful and plentiful, each diver/diving couple had their own instructor. Thank you guys for a great experience & introduction into the world of diving❤️
Thank you so much for your kind words. Your feedback means a lot to us. It makes us happy to know that you had a great time with us! Hope we get another chance to take you for diving in the future. Safe travels! Regards, Sailing Club Divers
Huong is an excellent diver, but slight language barrier (in case you are nervous and need really thorough communication). The boat to and from the dive sites was comfy and plenty of food and beverage provided. Conditions were wavy and short visibility. Very fun but definitely challenging for new divers. Despite this, there are some beautiful corals and interesting sea creatures (shrimp, nudibranche, other things I did not recognize). I would recommend, but just be aware that it is not a walk in the park.
Dear 512tristanl, Thank you for sharing your feedback with us and the community. We are glad you still had a good time despite the low visibility. The sea conditions haven’t been great lately, but we are expecting it to improve in the next few weeks. If you ever get to visit again, we would love to take you when it’s nicer! Regards, Sailing Club Divers
We joined the sailing club for a Discover Scuba and I can fully recommend them as a professional and friendly diving company. We had 1 person between the 2 of us so we felt in safe hands. Khuong was very patient with us while we got to grips with using the equipment and learning the hand signals. We had a tasty curry with rice and bread for lunch and fruit, water and hot drinks were also included.
Dear Sarah D, Hope you are well. Thank you for your kind comment and for choosing us for your PADI Discover Scuba Diving program. We are so glad you both had a great experience! We hope you come back to join us for some dives again in the future! Stay safe and healthy! Warm regards, Sailing Club Divers
Myself and my boyfriend signed up for the Discover Dive with Lenka, because I wasn’t sure if I wanted to do a full certification course, and even though I was honestly quite nervous she was so calm and helped me a lot and I decided to do the PADI Open Water certification program afterwards! We then did the theory, which was thorough and interesting, and the exercises in the pool practicing various skills. Then we did more open water dives to complete the certification. I highly recommend Lenka as your instructor, I did not expect myself to like Scuba diving as much as I did, or to be able to do what I was able to learn, but she was so knowledgable and made me feel at ease, I knew I was safe and that made me able to relax and enjoy the diving and focus!
Dear harlier2017, Thank you so much for your kind words! We are so glad to hear that you both had a great time! :) Hope you and David have an amazing time on future diving adventures. Keep blowing bubbles and keep learning! Regards, Sailing Club Divers
The crew was very responsive to my needs, the trainer Letka spoke English. The office manager answered all my questions in detail.
I did my PADI here and first time diving! Had an extremely patient and fun teacher Lenka who answered all my many stupid questions haha. This is a nice and serious company! I highly recommend them 🤙😉
Dear emblai, Thank you for your kind comment. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your experience with us! We will pass on your kind words to our team to let them know that their efforts have been recognized. Hope you come diving with us again in the future! Warmest regards, Sailing Club Divers
