Lonely Planet review for Phuket Scuba Club

This ecologically sensitive outfitter has a shop here and another on Karon. It can arrange day trips to Racha Yai and Racha Noi Shark Point et al, as well as live aboards to the Similan Islands, and it’s the only shop in the area to offer two beach dives from Hat Karon daily (11am and 3pm). The visibility isn’t as magical as more distant reefs, but there are interesting fish around, plus it’s close, so you’ll be able to slip underwater and be back with the family in no time.

    michalreed recommends this,

    I contacted Chantal, part owner of Phuket Scuba Club and a TripAdvisor travel expert, about non-dive related questions. Not only did she provide me with local contact numbers that I couldn’t find on the internet, when I arrived, even though I was not diving, she and Kevin graciously included me in the club, inviting me to join them for both Christmas and New Year’s dinners. Aptly named, the scuba “club” provides more than diving services. Though I came to Phuket for the weather and a personal retreat, the most memorable part was the generosity I experienced from Chantal and Kevin. They have a gift for creating community that transcends the diving experience as they embrace an eclectic group of people of a variety of ages. They hosted the best meals I had in Thailand, inviting all who had dived along with long time friends; the mix provided lively conversation. Having been in the area for 18 years, they were able to provide background into the evolving development of the area and a wonderful analysis of current conditions. They suggested non-diving activities for me and provided me with contacts. At a time when so many of the tourists are Russian, it was especially nice to be provided with an enclave of English speaking locals and travelers. I got the rest I so needed, yet never felt socially isolated, thanks to the gracious warmth of Chantal and Kevin.

    The scuba staff was enthusiastic about their work and seemed conscientious and informed. Those who dove, from families to experienced divers, raved about The Phuket Scuba club providing a fantastic experience. Many come repeatedly to dive with the club. Next time I want them to design a diving trip for me!
