Were dove with this company over 10 days of our 3 week holiday. we are a family of 4 certified divers, 2 adults and our 2 children aged 12 and 14, we made 22 dives over this 3 weeks, they have great local diving with house reefs which were ok nothing amazing but still worth diving. the highlight of this was their own trip to Koh phiphi as a full day with 3 dives, we made this trip 2 times and both times we went to different dive sites, we had the opportunity to dive with lots of black-tip sharks and many many turtles, swim through's,overhangs,wall and reefs with excellent marine life it was truly the highlight of our diving holiday.

Smooth planning, everything went well, great organization. fantastic holiday.

Thank you very much to all the staff.

Dan Harding and family.

Thankyou very much to the staff at Paradise Diving for a brilliant weekend of diving. Kim was our guide for the duration of our stay, we were told to ask for him by some friends, he knows so much about diving, fish, safety breifings, but most of all what a great guy to spend the weekend with. We told hime what we wanted to see and he didn't dissapoint us. 3 blacktip sharks on Phi Phi. 1 big old turtle, a ghostpipe fish, frogfish and 2 sea horse at ko dock mai.
Kim, we had a brilliant time with you all thanks.

We were a group of 5 divers with 2 of our group made their advanced course here at Paradise diving, i must say overall everything went fine, from the many pre e-mails we sent to the Management with fast response and easy guidance as to the best package for us so we could all dive together, in total we made 12 dives each on the local reefs as well as daytrips all were very good, some easy diving some with stronger conditions, excellent setup, briefing, equipment, staff & guides.

Most of the time we had the whole speedboat to ourself, Phi Phi trips with this company should NOT be missed as they make a very different shedule from all the other companies. do try it.

We stayed in the Indigo Pearl Hotel in Nai Yang, fantastic place but a bit quiet for all of us, with minimal party life going on around the area, but hey we came here to dive so all was perfect.

Great co-ordination from the management thankyou, great boat staff, Kim,Alex thanks for the course were all well happy.

I have no problems in reccomending this dive company for anything you need in Phuket.

Best wishes for the high season

The KIWI'S.....;-)

Open water course in 3 easy days in Nai Yang with paradise diving.
Local diving made it so simple and straight forward with 2 dives in the morning and back to our room for lunch..:-)
Kim, thank you for teaching us our new sport, fantasic marine life at ko waao and great instruction from you.

Look forward to our return in 4 weeks after vietnam for the Advanced course.

Thank you.

I came to stay in Nai Yang with the intention of learning diving in the tropics as to learning back in Whales where i started last year,almost completed the pool session which took me 2 weeks back home as even in the pool was very cold, i got in touch with the staff here at Paradise diving asia and 2 weeks later i arrived at my hotel that they arranged for me with airport pick up and all the trimmings, after meeting the manager David we went through my options for the course, if i had of came here in their high season i could have done all my diving direct from the beach, instead i had no option to make a full day trip on my ocean dives which by the way was very very nice, big boat,hot showers, on board bar for a drink on the way home, my pool session was with David and i learned different Techniques that i had not learned from my previous instructor which really helped me keep control when we got into the ocean (attention to detail is the key) i really didn't expect my learning to be so good. after 3 days and 4 dives i sailed through the course.... just amazing from start to finish with the staff here cant thank you enough.

You will see me here again in the high season.

Best regards

What can i say apart from Thanks for a great 3 day open water course.

Me & John had 3 days of fun with the team here in Nai Yang getting certified is why we came here and i cant complain about anything except a bit of sea sickness on the way out to the destination but considering it is monsoon season all is good.

The weather was not too bad lots of sun and very little rain which i heard is not really normal for this time of year but hey could have been worse, many thanks to david for answering ALL my e-mail for the past 3 month back and forth as i was not sure about coming this time of year, all the info i got was spot on cheers diver dave lol.

Very professional and highly educated team from start to finish all my questions about diving were answered,all my worries were put to rest, New equipment, nice office, nice people, good diving, excellent instuction. all round very very pleased with this company.

Take care x x x x x x x

WOW,WOW,WOW. After reading some of the other comments about this company i thought i would give them a try, i'm a regular visitor to phuket as i have a villa in Bang Tao beach and have been diving all my life mostly with other companies around phuket but what i reall like is the fact that you can do local diving all through the high season which is very very good. great viz, depths to suit all levels even first timers, extremely professional, new equipment but most of all diving from speed boats, fast and efficient service, The staff are well up on their stuff and even invite us for free diving to help with reef clean ups and garbage collection also a free beer after all the hard work. I have no hessitations in reccomending Paradise diving to anyone this is now the only place i will go for local easy diving and they have 2 resident turtles at a local spot. The staff also said for next year they should have a new catamaran for similan trips direct from Nai Yang beach again.. Happy Happy days..

Thankyou all.

My husband did his Advanced Open Water course with Alex at Paradise Diving and I did my Deep Dive specialty with Alex and Wolfgang, and both of us enjoyed our dives with the guys and the professional and friendly service offered by Dave in the office and Kim when getting our equipment together. The courses were also offered at very competitive rates and in effect we had one instructor for the two of us and in the case of some dives even one instructor each! We then also took Dave's advise for a one day boat trip of the south of Phuket to Racha Yai and Racha Noi (with Sea Bees Diving) with Alex as a personal guide coming with us, and that was a great experience with three dives in near perfect conditions and Alex taking lots of pictures during the dives.
Thanks to all at Paradise Diving!

A BIG BIG thanks to all the staff at Paradise diving, 3 days in Similan with their reccomendation of a very good liveaboard company Koh Bon-MANTAS!! Richielieu Rock-1 Whaleshark-3 leopard sharks and endless fish. i was on holiday for 2 weeks and wanted to go to similan as soon as i arrived but Dave told me to wait for about 4 more days till the weather cleared up a bit and im sooooo glad i did as the weather was perfect and ideal conditions to see the BIG stuff, ohhh my god what a shock seeing lots of huge Mantas playing right beside us for the 1st time in my life i almost wet myself with happyness. Thank you soooo much for an amazing holiday.

My wife and i stayed in Nai Yang beach resort for 1 week when we found a local diving center and asked for a try dive only to be told that it was not possible at the time by the thai owner because of an appointment or something, i just got the feeling they didn't really want to take us for free, anyway just beside there is another diving center called paradise diving asia with a retail shop near the beach and the main center is in the indigo pearl so we went there to ask for a try dive which we could do at 2pm the same day, Kim the instructor took us in for about 20 mins each and showed us how to clear our mask of water recover our regulator and took us for a tour around the pool (just amazing ) breathing underwater is the most un natural thing you could ever do but with his help was easy, we were the explained in full detail about our options for diving and signed up for the padi open water course this took 3 days to complete, long pool session some theory and 4 dives in the ocean, as for the diving the water was nice, clear,warm and lots of fish to see. maiking the most out of our time underwater its truely amazing to get so up close and personal with marine life of all kinds, we love our new found sport, so happy that we went here for the lessons, the staff are fantastic,easy going,proffessional, well trained. Right from the begining we both felt at ease,making our holiday a great time. After our course we went to ko waeo which is the best local place for diving which is really beautiful 2 turtles, baracuda,nemo,pufferfish and lots lots more to see.In the evening we could all sit together with all the staff and share a nice cold beer courtesy of the manager David for us passing our exam, what a way to spend your holiday.Thankyou all. We WILL return soon as there are so many more places we want to dive.

Have a fantasic season.

Best wishes

Dean & Sarah

My first time with Paradise Diving and the entire team was fantastic. Every member had superb knowledge of the sites and likely conditions making it easy to plan when to schedule our dives. They were also extremely flexible with the different levels of divers as well as accommodating those who wished to snorkel ensuring everybody was able to make the most out of the sites visited. Although I used some of my own equipment, the BCD, regs and wetsuits were all fantastic quality and well treated; after 10 years of diving this is some of the best condition I have seen. I will definitely be back.

I have known Wolfgang & Meya for 10 long and happy years since they first began and its fantastic to see them still running, its been 10 years that i return to see them in Thailand, they take care of my accomodation,diving schedule and nights out when i'm here, all i have to do is e-mail them and show up, it couldn't be more easy.
Even after all these years the local diving is excellent and i'm never left without something to do,Similan,Koh Phi Phi,Ko-Weao all still fantastic,

You really cant go wrong with these guy's.

Take care

Jnny and I had a great time diving with David and his team. Jenny was a new diver and they made her feel very comfortable on the dives. We did a couple short trips and one long day trip which was fantastic. The Paradise team made us feel very good. We are planning on returning to Phuket in a few weeks and are looking forward to diving with them again!!!

This is the 4th year running that we have come back to the Indigo Pearl to dive with paradise diving and yet once more we are never dissapointed with the outcome, local diving is still amazing 2 dives in the morning and 2 dives in the afternoon is easy because of a short travel time with thier speed boats its only 10 mins away and not 35 mins like the previous years by longtail boat, we are a family of 2 adults and our 2 children and we all made every course with David and each time we return he always takes the time out of the office to dive with us wherever we choose to go. This year we all made 16 dives over 3 weeks of our holiday and were never without some where different to go diving. They have their own trip to Koh Phi -Phi which is like nothing i have seen before we always go to different spots away from all the other dive companies and always have time to relax on a quiet beach, we would never dive with anyone else.

Looking forward to coming back again next year.

Thanks again David & Paradise diving.
