We were traveling in Thailand with our three kids who wanted to get certified and Blue View was incredibly accommodating and professional at tailoring a perfect experience for us despite a lot of moving parts on our end. The instructors Becca and Daow were amazing with our tween kids, mixing the intensive learning with fun, all with a great child-tailored approach. All of the interactions were smooth and logistics were seamless — the boat was comfortable and the food on board was great! Not to mention what a beautiful place Phi Phi is! My youngest got to dive on his 10th birthday for the first time on a discover scuba before getting certified as PADI Scuba Diver the following day and got to see a BABY SHARK on his birthday!! The team worked hard to make his birthday such a special day and we opted to have great photos and video taken of us that day, as well. Highly recommend Blue View to folks looking to dive in the region!

Amazing all round
Amazing experience, I had only dived once before the open water course, I loved every second and learnt so much. Daow is a great teacher and person, would highly recommend to anyone interested in diving/ water activities.

Fantastic experience and a leopard shark!
Did the 2 day Open Water course with my wife. We had Michael as our instructor and he was fantastic. Very safe and learned a lot while getting to see amazing stuff, including a leopard shark! Thank you Michael and Blue View Divers, we will not forget this experience and we are hooked.

Do this course!
The Open Water course with Michael was amazing!! A professional, informative and overall extremely enjoyable experience first time scuba diving. I left feeling confident I can safely dive and excited for more. Lots of beautiful coral and aquatic life including a leopard shark on our last dive! 150% recommend this course!

Unforgettable experience
Decide to perform the baptism with this company before its excellent recommendations. Despite being nervous I loved the experience thanks to my instructor, José. Besides having a great vibe, I felt very confident so I decided to do the open water with them and Jose. Really an unforgettable experience. Very grateful to the team, Caroline who managed everything kindly and effectively. Micheal another instructor, Adam the photographer thanks to whom I took beautiful memories of this experience and finally my instructor Jose who made this experience amazing! 100% recommend to take this tour with this company.

Micheal my instructor was a great man very patient which made my experience great. I started from flapping like a wounded seagull to diving calm as whale shark that we only missed out by one day haha, If you want to do your open water ticket I recommend them very great team, an exceptional at what they do

Amazing introduction to scuba diving
I completed my PADI Open Water Corse at Blue View Divers and I am really happy I did! I am an anxious person who was a bit nervous, but my instructor Jose did an amazing job making me feel safe and making me feel capable. I am really happy to have met him as a person and to have learned from him as an instructor.

Great team to dive with
Look no further, this is a great team to dive with! I decided to get the Open Water Certification with them as they dive in small groups and they hold the PADI 5* Eco Center award. I had so much fun and I felt so comfortable diving with Michael that once I finishedy initial certification, I decided to stay another week in Phi Phi and get the Advanced certification too. Amazing experience diving with this guys...

Best place to learn to dive!
100% recommend. We had the best time and never felt concerned or anxious about the exercises we had to do or being in the ocean - it never felt like an assessment or pass/fail situation. Michael was genuinely the best guide we could have asked for and the small group of 3 of us learning was perfect. Would highly highly recommend and I literally never review anything.

Highly recommended !
A great team! Good organization and support. For me a wonderful first diving experience. My companion calmly instructed me that I quickly found complete confidence and saw with her colorful schools of fish, corals, a larger fish. I'm thrilled! Also the food and fresh fruit and water was ready. I highly recommend it. Ps.: The whole boat was in a super good mood 👌👍
