They picked us up at the hotel on time and took us to the pier safely!! After that, the best crew will provide you with the best time! There are about three types of drinks on the boat, so you can rest assured! The sea on both Racha Island and Coral Island is so beautiful that it is soothing. I heard that there are sea urchins on Coral Island, but there were none, just fine sand😄🥰

really great experience, our tour guides were very knowledgeable and helpful. Tour guides took videos and photos where we couldn’t. We will be back to try the buggy’s!

It was great that the tour was conducted in a small group, reducing waiting time and the round-trip time. The guides were friendly and tried to fill the diving time to the best of their ability. However, it was a pity that they stopped at one point and went twice.

I was still worried about safety before departure. When we arrived at the destination, the coach put on the safety rope for us and was always there to supervise and assist. It felt professional and we could play with confidence. Recommended

We had a great day! Everything was super organized, from food to transportation. We went scuba diving with my husband and the most wonderful instructor Pai! We learned a lot from him and thanks to him we had a wonderful day! Thank you for everything and I recommend him with all my heart! We also have the moments filmed and photographed by him and his colleague! 🙏

This was not my first dive but it was for my family. The service was incredible with a full buffet style breakfast, then lunch after the first dive, followed by snacks after the second then more cold thai snacks after the third dive (unlimited soft drinks, water and hot bevs). Our instructors were also amazing, made us feel comfortable and safe at all times. We had two instructors for our group of 3 and took us around to see some amazing coral spots.
