Review Body: I always wanted to try Free Diving as I wasn't really comfortable holding my breath which is mandatory when being wiped out while surfing.
I did 2 training (day trips) with them and I made so much progress. My expectations have been blown away and that's definitely because of my teacher from SSS Phuket who did an awesome job. I can't recommend them enough. Thanks guys!

Review Body: I had an absolutely incredible experience with SSS Phuket Dive! From start to finish, the team made me feel safe, comfortable, and excited about exploring the underwater world.
A special shoutout to Oliver, who went above and beyond to ensure my experience was unforgettable. He was patient, knowledgeable, and his passion for diving was contagious. He took the time to explain everything thoroughly, which helped us feel at ease in the water.
The dive itself was breathtaking, Oliver took amazing pictures and videos that captured every moment. I couldn’t have asked for a better introduction to scuba diving.
Thank you, SSS Phuket Dive, and especially Oliver, for making this such a memorable experience. Highly recommend this company to anyone, whether you’re a beginner or experienced diver.

Review Body: Our instructors were Ned and Ohn, and they took really good care of us! The four of us were all first time divers and we felt really safe with them. I was quite nervous before the dive, but Ohn calmed me down and shared stories to reassure me that there was nothing to be afraid of.
During the first dive, I couldn’t get used to breathing and panicked but Ned was very patient with me, he didn’t push me to go but tried to reassure me when i didnt want to dive. I ended up going and did surprisingly well! Once i saw the fishes, the nerves went away.
Definitely recommend this place if you’re interested in trying out scuba diving for the first time!

Review Body: My experience with SSS Phuket to get my SSI open water diving certification was incredible!! My instructor, Ned, was really supportive and extremely knowledgeable. He knew when to be tough when it came to the course material but also made me feel comfortable and safe throughout the dives. It was really fun getting to know him and hear about his adventures and experiences with diving as well. During our last dive, he took some awesome photos of us underwater & I was sooo happy to have those pictures as memories!
I would 1000% recommend Ned & SSS Phuket for the SSI Open Water Program!

Review Body: OotDy is so cool and easy to get along with. We had a delicious breakfast while en route to the island. They had plenty of coffee which was nice since you have to wake up kinda early. Clear instructions and well curated dive, would recommend going with SSS and OotDy for an amazing trip!
