Review Body: What a wonderful day diving Phi Phi islands with Sea Bees. Its a full day trip, and I mean, full: full of great diving, experiences, friendly service, amazing staff, great underwater creatures and super yummy food. 11 hours of bliss. Firstly the boat: great, solid, beautiful, convenient, stable, huge. There are several areas and plenty of space. Secondly the diving: 60 minute dives in a unique environment, safe and fun. The highlight of the day was the encounter with the leopard shark. My guide during that dive, Tee, was a local lady very experienced and great at finding creatures, as a photographer I felt blessed. Thirly the service: the instructors on this boat are seasoned and very friendly. Nico was very accommodating with my needs. He went out of his way to secure a great experience for the 3 divers he was guiding, even posing patiently for my pictures. Thanks Nico! Everything was perfect, we had great food all through the day (I dont know about you but Im super hungry after dives 😋). The showers were great, a real advantage specially after your third dive. All in all an excellent experience, a day full of great menories, not only underwater but also during the trip, with the amazing scenery of the national park in the background. I will surely repeat.

Review Body: I was in Phuket for a couple of weeks and dived with Sea Bees. Their organization is superb. I was picked up every morning at my hotel and taken to the dive shop. There, all the equipment was ready. Since I brought most of my own, I only needed a BCD and a weight belt. I was fitted with a BCD which was put in a box together with my own equipment. Weights are provided on the boat. One instructor/divemaster is provide for up to 4 divers. The divemasters were professional, taking care of all the needs, making sure that each diver is fully equipped before the boat reaches the dive spot. During the dive, air is checked and when it is time, ascending is smooth and safety stop becomes a safety leisurely swim. Diving, with Sea Bees, becomes a real pleasure.

Review Body: Today was a wonderful day for a dive with Sea Bees Diving. Thank you again for the professional organization and fantastic time on and especially under the water. Our instructor George was giving us first an overdue refresher with the equipment setup. Later also the needed guiding and navigation under water. Thanks for that professionalism. Our food was really amazing on the boat - compliments to the chef! One thing that I wanted to mention is, if you are planning to take pictures under water, bring your own equipment with you. Seems not all instructors are equipped with cameras - I forgot to ask beforehand or missed it on the website. Besides that, a very nice and solid 5 star experience. Thanks to everyone for the great time and safe dive.

Review Body: For the Best Dive company in Phuket look no further. I had a fantastic 5 days diving with the Sea Bees. Extremely well organized with pick up from my hotel and back. The Excalibur II was a great dive boat and the food is abundant and very good. The dive deck is very spacious, everyone has their own basket and there are good showers to clean up and wash off. A special thank you to Tee who is the best organizer for dive times while on board and getting you on the right bus at the end of the day in addition to a great instructor. All the Sea Bees dive instructors were excellent, friendly and knowledgeable, special thanks to Sjon. Thanks to the entire Sea Bees team, I shall return.
