On January 8 and 12, I had great joy and pleasure diving with Alexander Zaitsev's team, I was ready for feedback. The Zaitsev team employs real professionals, masters of their craft, who are in love with diving, while being careful, sensitive and attentive to their clients, interested in the most positive emotions from diving, the equipment is clearly sized and excellent quality, as comfortable as possible, incredible beauty underwater, even for the sophisticated viewer, for those who believe that the red Sea is the limit of beauty, in Phuket I realized that it was not at all, the Andaman Sea amazed me with its variety of corals and fish, the nature of the Racha Islands pleasantly complements a trip to the depths of the sea, the most beautiful bay of Camera conquered my heart. I sincerely wish the Zaitsev team prosperity and that there will be no shortage of customers! You are the best!!! ❤❤❤🤙
January 14th is a great reason to dive with my husband and enjoy the underwater world of Thailand (we remembered the truth about the holiday upon our return).
Maxim was with us, a wonderful instructor! Before that, we had only been diving with English-speaking guides, but here we are happy, communicating in Russian, and fully understanding each other. Calmness underwater and complete trust (Max, really, thank you very much, I never panicked)! The first experience of exploring a ship underwater🫶 and may my turtle still be ahead, but not this time😃 is an excuse to dive with you more. Special thanks for organizing the trip itself: the food was delicious and varied, the ship and crew were excellent. I want to go on a Similan with Max next time.
❗️‼️‼️‼️❗️
Be sure to book a shoot! The memories won't just be in my head.
I really enjoyed diving with the Zaytsev team!
Everything was wonderful: the manager's consultations on VKontakte (WhatsApp), the transfer, the instructor, the ship, and the dive sites.
I'll start in order and tell you in detail in order to dispel doubts from doubters.
I went diving on 04/09/2025.
I'll start by communicating with the manager: I wrote in Vkontakte and received an answer almost immediately.
I had a lot of questions about the organization and I also wanted to try the Open water diver Padi certification course.
The manager read my messages very carefully and replied to them in detail. Thank you very much for that again!
In the end, I chose the usual sightseeing diving, and I knew in advance that I would go on a 3-day dive. 😎
My hotel has a very steep climb, and the manager warned the day before that the transfer would not be able to stop by, and that's cool.: it's attention to detail)
In the end, I didn't get lost)
Transfer:
The mini-van arrived on time, there were already 2 people, they picked me and another family up from a nearby hotel. Then we quickly got to the pier, where the instructors were already waiting for us. 👍
No delays, no additional expectations 😎
Instructor Ivan worked with me and another diver, and there is a post about him here: https://vk.com/wall-133331786_1773
He escorted us to a tuk-tuk (the pier is huge and tuk-tuks are delivered from the parking lot to the ship) 👌
Then we were put on a ship 🙂
What can I tell you about him: a good, solid, clean ship and a friendly crew 👍
I was lucky, the beginning of April is already the end of the high season, so there were about 10-14 divers on the boat, 5-6 instructors (2 from the Zaysev team) and escorts.
I didn't count it exactly, I wrote it approximately, but it was very comfortable and free. 👍
What else can I add about the ship:
1. Breakfast was after departure, delicious, varied, super 👍
2. After the first dive, lunch is also delicious and varied
3. After the second dive, snacks, fruits and ice cream
4. After the third dive, French fries and nuggets
In short: the food is delicious, timely, and ready for slaughter)
Lemonade and cola in unlimited quantities) beer for money, but whoever drinks beer doesn't give away, it makes sense)
As for diving:
To begin with, Ivan told us in detail about dive sites, animals, legal restrictions (fines for petting animals) and safety.
The diver with me had an owd padi certificate that he had received a long time ago, and I told Ivan that I wanted to study, so Ivan showed me the equipment and let me assemble the equipment ourselves, which is great!
On each dive, Ivan filmed us with an action camera 👍
I specified in advance how much it costs, so there were no unnecessary questions. 👌
The first and second dives were 100% with live fauna (I hope I put it correctly), that is, corals, fish, octopus and stingray were seen 😍
Both dives were in bays near Racha Noi 🙂
The third dive was near Racha Yai, where there were man-made objects: a flooded ship, technical things for coral growth, a motorcycle, etc. There was also a live fauna at the end 👌
What else can I add: before the first dive, Ivan gave us a chance to practice with basic techniques so that no one messed up in the process or about an emergency situation.
All in all: I am very satisfied!
I had a good day, felt the service provided, ate delicious food, and had a pleasant conversation with the guys around me and my instructor.
And most importantly: I completed three amazing dives!!!
I recommend this dive center to everyone! 👍👍👍
