Customer Reviews - Klaus-Stefan

Review from Klaus-Stefan, who is diving with Sea Fun's day trip now than 3 years ...

"Hallo Ingo, das Boot ist fabelhaft, wirklich. Aus meiner Sicht seid Ihr in Phuket nach wie vor konkurrenzlos gut! 

Boris ist immer noch ein grandioser Teamleader. Und meine Tauchgänge mit Pae waren wieder ein tolles Erlebnis. Also ich war rundum zufrieden!

Beste Grüße und alles Gute 

Klaus-Stefan"

Customer Reviews - Tommaso

Copy of a review posted on Scuba Board

Hi to everyone! Just a quick review of a dive centre:
Sea Fun Divers, in Patong, Phuket, Thailand.

I am not a very experienced diver (amateur - 39 dives in 4 years), with Advanced Open Water Diver certificate and Nitrox, Deep, Wreck specilaizations.

I don't have enough experience to review the technical ability of the dive guides but I want to say how great my experience with this Dive Centre was:
- Equipment: middle of the range and very new & clean - everyone gets their own, new, mouth piece.
- Dive Guides Pea and Boris: they seem to be able to find ANYTHING under water!! They let everyone get on with their own pre dive preparations and checks but, when less experienced divers make mistakes, they correct them. Under water we enjoyed the same liberty with the same non intrusive safety spervision and we were always pointed out all the points of interest.
- Boat: clean, new, w/ on board compressor, A/C, breakfast & lunch included and free drinks/coffee/snaks all day. Very, very comfortable to dive from, and return to, with hot water shower! Nice experience.
- Nick (owner) is very flexible to accommodate any requirement. Just ask...
- Prices are slightly higher than other local dive centres but the quality is much higher - therefore the value for money is good.
- In short, very clean, new, safe and enjoyable dive centre.
HIGHLY recommended. The best in Asia as far as my experience goes (admittedly not much)!

Smiles!

The Reef at Kata Beach

Kata Beach Diving

At the North end of Kata Beach there is reef which can be seen breaking the surface at low tied. It is shallow, large and well worth exploring either with a mask & snorkel or, as I prefer, with scuba equipment. Even if you have never dived before. In high season (November to April), this is a perfect spot to do a PADI Discover Scuba Diver course.

The reef itself is mainly hard corals such as Lobed pore coral, brain corals and bush corals. Some soft corals can also be found along with Sea Anemones populated with Skunk Anemone fish.

Kata Reef always seems to come up with something on every dive which makes it so interesting. Just last week in one dive I found: cuttlefish, razor fish, ornate ghost pipe fish and bent stick pipefish. Juvenile, adolescent and fully grown oriental sweetlips and regular schools of Forster's Barracuda circulate slowly above. Huge schools of catfish, sea horses and harlequin shrimp have all been seen on the reef on other occasions.

Qualified or not, it is always best to dive with a guide or instructor to be kept safe from potential dangers but also to see the best things down there. Contact us here at Sea Fun Divers and we can arrange this and any dive equipment for you.

Once you get dropped at the beach, get yourself kitted up leaving your mask, snorkel and fins to carry. Don't forget to arrange your pick up time, then do your buddy checks and walk straight across the beach from the ramp directly info the sea. Walk in until about waist deep and then put your mask and fins on. Look straight out to sea. You will see a white buoy 150 – 200 meters out. Lay on your back and take a casual swim out to the buoy. Once there catch your breath if you need to and then descend down the line. For safety take a Divers Buoy with you as there can be some boat and jet-ski traffic. Once down on the bottom, about 2 meters deep, head North Westerly. In a couple of minutes you will pick up the reef and, I suggest, follow it out deeper keeping the reef on your right and the sand underneath you.

I usually follow the reef out for about 30 minutes, or until I have used about 75 – 80 bar of air, and then come back in over the top of the reef. At high tied your maximum depth will be no more than 9 meters so you can do really long dives here if you wish.

Customer Reviews - Vassili

Happy Vassili enjoyed diving in Similan Islands on board MV South Siam IV and our day trip boat.  


"Good Day

 Sorry for late response, I had long business trip to Latvia, Germany and Lithuania. I have really enjoyed my diving with Sea Fun Divers. 

Vassili in Similan
I choose about three months between different dive centers and glad to say that my choice was absolutely right.  I’m not able to comment liveaboard trip to Similans because that was my first safari adventure. 

Except one thing : it was great! Pleasant craft, trained crew, friendly divers team, helpful guide, great atmosphere onboard. I have got positive shot in my heart. As for daily trip that was organized and performed at highest level I met during last 10 years. 

To say honestly most of dive centers I are doing money with newborn divers. That is much easier and more profitable then to try to satisfy advanced divers. 

Sea Fun Divers targeted to make enjoyable each dive for everyone. That was much appreciated. Thank you very much for diving! 

Best regards, 

Vassili"
