The second time I book through this dive center, a dive safari to Similan and Richelieu Rock (3 days / 2 nights). I contacted /phoned Olga (the words in the name of the review primarily refer to Olga), discussed the dates of a possible release, the necessary equipment on site, and the dimensions. The issue of payment, as such, did not turn out to be an issue. Olga solved it, an advance payment was made. Always in touch. Previously, before departure, the logistics issues were brought in detail to the assembly point, then to the ship. I left the hotel at 06:30 for the gathering place. Next, take a speedboat (about an hour in time) to the ship. About 20 minutes after boarding, the instructors, a briefing and the first dive were introduced)). There are three dives on the day of arrival (one of them is a night dive). The next day - 4 dives (including Richelieu Rock). On the day of departure, there are three more dives, for a total of 11 safaris. Two dives (no longer allowed according to the rules of the reserve) at Richelieu Rock, which is nominally worth going on this safari. It's already been my fourth time and I still can't enjoy its beauty)) The conditions of arrival on the ship (I was on Sanbon 3, ("Similan Standard")), I was accommodated in a two-bed cabin, good. The food is adequate, not bad. Soda in cans of cola type is included in the price, beer - 60 baht. The team works well together, the instructors are experienced. Dive safari, a success!) I recommend it!
We were impressed by Olga's professionalism and responsibility as an instructor. She was watching us closely, and we felt completely safe.
The learning experience with Olga was simply excellent - her knowledge and professionalism combined with a friendly and patient manner of teaching made our training not only safe, but also exciting. I especially want to mention Olga's bright hat, thanks to which we did not have a chance to get lost under water :) We felt confident and ready for new challenges in the diving world.
We have received OWD certificates and are already thinking about moving to the next level - AOWD.
The diving center left us only positive impressions. We strongly recommend this diving center to anyone who is looking for a professional approach to diving and wants to get maximum pleasure and safety.
I contacted Olga from Russia. We have a non-standard situation, two adult certified divers, two teenagers, 16 and 14 years old and a child of 9 years old. Olga provided detailed information taking into account our wishes, we agreed on everything, made the payment. At the appointed time, we were picked up, taken to the dive center and from there to the boat. The bot is very good, big, convenient, the team is well prepared, always in the right place and at the right time. There were two instructors, Eduard for teenagers and Dmitry for a child. The instructors are amazing! Not only are they amazing as instructors, but they are also wonderful people. Our little one was not very well after the first dive, so Dmitry took care of her better than we could have done it ourselves! And thanks to him, she calmly went on the second (for us, the third) dive. Everything worked out for everyone, no negative emotions, only positive. We are very grateful to Olga, Eduard and Dmitry for a wonderful day! If we go diving in Phuket again - without any doubt, only with this dive center! They are not looking for good from goodness!
Thanks a lot,
You are real good fellows,
With great respect for your work
