My first dive into the world of diving was not just an adventure for me, but a real gift from my soulmate, an old dream came true. Thanks to CHill Diving, attentive and charming instructor Nikita, who not only explained the basics of diving during the briefing, but also shared his excellent sense of humor, making our acquaintance with the diving world unforgettable. On the first day, I had three dives, two at Racha Noi Island and one at Racha Yai Island. From the second dive, thanks to the instructor, I felt like a fish in the water and was able to enjoy a walk through the underwater world. After the first day of diving and the emotions I received, I convinced my half to dive too. Moreover, we decided to study and become certified specialists in order to continue exploring the depths of the ocean.
As a memorable addition, we received a beautiful video, which now serves as a reminder of our unforgettable adventure. Thanks to Nikita, we not only mastered new skills, but also studied, passed exams successfully and received certificates with which we will plan new dives. Many thanks to Chill Diving for their hard work.
Nikita, a personal, huge thank you from us.
See you soon.
My first dive in my life. It was just unbelievable. Nikita explained everything in as much detail as possible, showed me, and answered all the questions with a joke. When we were submerged, he constantly asked if everything was okay, if it wasn't all right, then we surfaced and he gave advice. He did everything to make you want to come back to him! And I think I'll be back)
Additionally, I took more photos and videos, very cool shots came out, just a ton of content. It is clear that he really tried to choose the angle. In general, it's just a delight, I recommend it to every tourist who comes to Tai
For many years, when we came to our beloved Phuket, we dreamed of scuba diving, but something didn't work out all the time... This year we decided. According to reviews, Nikita, a diving instructor, and his young company Chill Driving were found. We called each other, sent photos of our passports, our weight, height, and leg size, and set a diving day. The next morning, a minibus with a cheerful driver arrived to pick us up, and, gathering three more people along the way, we set off for the port in the south of the island. That's where we met our instructor Nikita. Our other fellow travelers were met by their instructors and we all boarded a special bus that took us from the shore along a long pier to the ship itself, on which we had to make this wonderful journey. There were several rules on the ship that we had to follow. First, everyone on the ship is barefoot. We took off our shoes and, together with Nikita, went on our first acquaintance with the ship. I must say right away that the whole atmosphere from the team here was very positive and friendly, we were greeted with smiles, warmly and everyone was very attentive. Breakfast, coffee, tea, and fruits were waiting for us on the ship. It took place on the lower deck - in the "dry zone", i.e. one does not go down there in wet clothes. There are also 2 quite normal toilets. Upstairs there is a large deck under a canopy, with tables and long benches. In the middle is the seafood kitchen, which was closed in the morning, and for lunch it fed us tasty and varied enough. No one will stay hungry, for sure! We walked to the island for about an hour and a half. Nikita gave us a very detailed briefing, told us about the diving equipment, the signs for communicating there, and the important rules. It was not a dry story, but a very interesting and extremely useful conversation, seasoned with humor and real-life examples. Nikita has a certain gift for presenting information not formally, but vividly and in such a way that it remains with the listener forever. We dived twice for about 30 minutes, the equipment, suits and fins are in good condition, everything was selected by our instructor according to our size. All the time we were underwater, Nikita was by our side, not taking his eyes off us, while making videos and photos with our participation for us. Guys, it wasn't scary to dive with Nikita for the first time! You feel like you have a professional around who knows exactly and thoroughly what to do in any situation. We didn't even waste time coping with our excitement and anxiety, but immediately began to enjoy the amazing bright underwater world that opened up for us! Nikita has given us such confidence and calmness! We descended gradually, enjoying and being surprised every second! We saw moray eels, flute fish, large and small barracudas, sea urchins, corals, stars of different colors, and countless schools of colorful fish flashed like glass in a kaleidoscope! There is a miracle at every step! And there's an attentive and empathetic instructor with a bell nearby to draw our stunned attention from time to time to where to go next) The second dive was a little deeper and took place after a hearty and friendly lunch. I must say that we were lucky, it was Monday and there weren't many people on the ship besides us. After the second dive, we managed to swim a little by ourselves near the ship. There is unlimited bottled water and cola on the ship, chilled, besides tea, coffee, biscuits, and fresh, beautiful fruits. The ship's crew, cheerful young guys, helped with diving equipment, launching and boarding. In summary, I want to say, friends, if you are looking for a professional, reliable instructor, do not hesitate, consider that you have already found him - this is Nikita from Chill Driving! Our diving experiences are now enough for a whole year, and we will definitely continue diving with Nikita the next time we come here! We wish Nikita the development of his company, great success in the business that he loves with all his heart and in all other businesses and projects, family happiness and all the best!!! We've already shared the excitement of this adventure with a few friends, and they're eager to follow our path too.) And I wish the same to everyone!
