Incredible Phuket Scuba Diving Adventure

This was an amazing all-day scuba diving experience in Phuket! We did three separate dives, each reaching depths of about 10 meters (around 33 feet). No scuba certification is required, which makes it perfect for beginners. I had a personal instructor named Gop, who guided me through each dive with patience and professionalism. The underwater world was absolutely stunning — crystal-clear visibility, vibrant coral, and tons of sea life. They also offer underwater photos and videos for 1500 THB, which is totally worth it to capture the experience. Breakfast and lunch are included, and both were surprisingly good for a boat trip. Be sure to bring some extra cash to tip the crew, as they work hard to make sure everyone has a safe and memorable time. Overall, an unforgettable diving adventure — highly recommend!

Operator response

Thank you for the fantastic 5-star review! We are thrilled your VGA VACATION Phuket Scuba Diving trip was an unforgettable adventure! It's wonderful that instructor Gop guided you with such patience for your PADI Discover Scuba Dive at Racha Noi & Yai. We're glad you loved the stunning underwater world, the included meals, and the photos/videos! No certification is required for this tour, and your high recommendation is the best compliment.

Memory of a lifetime

Brilliant from start to finish. We were picked up from our hotel promptly and taken to the pier. Here we were greeted by the staff and given tea/coffee/fruit. Once suited in our wetsuits, we went on a ride to Maiton Island. The journey was bumpy but fun! The island itself was untouched and pristine. Once there we were given a careful demonstration by Mr Che who was kind, funny and patient. Myself and my Husband were looked after by him once in the water and he made our honeymoon unforgettable. Being able to see sealife and coral upclose was an amazing experience and we felt totally safe the entire time. Thank you to all the instructors for an amazing time! When we are back in Phuket, we will definitely book again!

Unforgettable dive!!!

This was hands down the best scuba experience I’ve had. The divers were so skilled, and the support for those who don’t swim was exceptional—everyone was encouraged and felt comfortable. The coral reefs were vibrant, teeming with life, and the underwater photos and videos were spectacular! On top of all that, the price was incredibly fair, especially with such a small group on a private island. Worth every penny!

5 Stars++ You Will Not Regret Diving With These Guys

Fantastic experience. It was our first time to scuba dive and saw that a small group scuba diving in Phuket was available so without hesitation, we booked. We did the Discover Scuba Dive which had 2 dives each. They are super well organized and everything went smoothly from hotel pick up to teaching us use of equipment to learning underwater skills. They were able to help us adapt to the depth. Pressure equalization was tough for the first 10min but after that, we understood how to do it correctly. We were able to dive 10-11 meter that day. The instructors Bobbie and Chang bestow confidence in us and always made sure were are ok both in water and boat. We saw their sea turtle friend, apparently it is rare for people's first diving to see such majestic creature. I would definitely join Chang for a dive again. Been to on many tours this holiday but, this is the best service, memory and genuine interpersonal connection I've received,

Best day EVER!

Superb day in crystal clear waters with an amazing variety of fish and live coral. Very experienced and well organized scuba masters and crew who really knows these waters and focus on safety. Chang has great English, is friendly and accommodating....with plenty of water and great snacks! In Phuket we will only use this company from now on...they were fantastic. (Caution, if you get easily seasick this might not be the best event for you.) No long waits or crowds. Highly recommend!

Highly Recommended- Must do in Phuket

I went on the phuket 3 micro khai island tour and was super happy with their service and found that they also offered the Scuba diving maithon Private Island. I chose the Snorkelling because they were also able to provide belts and weights for me to dive deeper. Excellent service from VGA VACATION. Super small group only 6 of us that day! Daeng was super friendly and the team was very professional providing personal service.
