Following a very active two week trecking holiday in Thailand, in August, we wanted to bolt on a week of diving for me and my daughter… Having not had experience of dive centres in Thailand, I contacted a variety of centres in southern Phuket, and happily for us, Steven responded with all the answers… He suggested what turned into an excellent itinerary, with a full breakdown of prices and discounts for low season… We were staying in a little hotel out at Nai Harn, and prompt pick-up and return was all included… Some centres did not include pick up and return - so always check… We had a great divemaster, Kob, who looked after us wonderfully, getting our gear ready well in advance of each dive and making the whole experience a pleasure… Equipment supplied was in very good working order, leaving us confident to do the deeper 30m dives… The week started with a couple of easy dives to get us into the swing of things, then into the full itinerary of what Phuket has to offer… Sea state was a bit rough at the beginning of the week, with some diveboats cancelling their trips but luckily for us we managed the whole 6 days… Visibilty was variable, OK (5-10m) to good… We experienced worse vis at Sipadan last year at this time…If I get back to Thailand for another chance to dive off Phuket, then I would not hesitate to contact Steven first… The service provided was excellent…
