Kata Beach Diving for Beginners Pool Training and 1 Beach Dive

Fantastic day out. Great guides, well organised and a great feed between dives

Loved the diving! Gan is amazing. Everything well arranged.

Very professional, excellent guides, great service

From start to finish we felt safe and cared for. The lesson in the pool was the perfect way to gain confidence in the instruction was very clear friendly and patient. The dive itself was incredible. The Reef was teeming with coral, fish, and other sea life and visibility was very good. Lolo our main guide, and his assistant were so nice. Lolo took amazing video footage for a small extra fee. We highly recommend this as a great way to spend half a day. It was about 4 hours all in and left plenty of time to enjoy the rest of the day.

Beginner dive skills & practice in the pool then out to the beach. Divers need to be able to walk ~50m across the beach wearing their dive gear to enter the water. The dive shop has outdoor shower and drinking water available. David was great with communication before and after the dive and Emily was an excellent instructor! Dive shop was a 20-min taxi ride from Patong Beach Jetty. GRAB app worked great for taxi.

We had a brilliant time with Phuket Dive Tours & highly recommend them. I am currently training with another Dive Organisation in the UK & the quality of tuition offered by Tim at Phuket Dive Tours was exceptional. Me & my partner felt totally comfortable in the water, safe in the knowledge that we had a great instructor looking after us. The dive around the coral reef was out of this world. We saw an amazing variety of fish, corals and even a moray eel. So pleased with the experience & would urge everyone to go. Ask for Tim, he is brilliant :-)

I was looking for an affordable dive shop for a discover scuba diving session for my girlfriend (non certified) and some beach dives, including a night dive for me (certified). Firstly, communication and booking process with David was smooth and efficient. He explained everything in detail and arranged the dives in a convenient way for both of us. Secondly, Victor (our dive instructor) was one of the best I have been with, regardless of your experience level. Calm, confident and funny. Many thanks to the whole team, chapeau!

My wife and friend had no scuba experience but both thoroughly enjoyed it. I was especially grateful to our guide Gan who really helped my wife, who is not a good swimmer, feel very comfortable with scuba techniques. Gan took the time to help my wife grasp the basics in the pool before going into the ocean where she paid special attention to my wife making sure she felt safe the whole time. Once in the ocean Gan showed us a lot more than what we saw in the pictures posted online. She pointed out all the interesting animals along the reef, it was a great experience.

I undertook and completed a 3 day SSI Open Water Diving Course with Alla at their Kata Road location for 12,000 Baht. First day was a half day training at their swimming pool in Kata (830am to 1pm), second and third days were full open water dive days (730am hotel pickup and 5pm hotel drop off). You'll also have to complete some online study and tests beforehand, which I finished in about half a day. Breakfast, lunch and snacks were catered on dive days. Food was decent but not gourmet. We docked at Racha Noi and Racha Yai for lunch and you couldn't ask for better views. Alla was lovely and I felt well taken care of during the lessons and dives. She also took great photos and videos, which I purchased for an additional 1,500 Baht. My only reservation would be for non-native/ESL English speakers. Communication might be a little challenging for you as Alla had quite a strong Ukranian accent. I personally didn't have much of a problem. All in all, I had a wonderful time and would strongly recommend Phuket Dive Tours to most anyone.
