Sail Rock Divers

I undertook the PADI Open Water course with Sail Rock Divers and had a great experience. Their staff are all very friendly and really professional. My instructor, Ryan was superb throughout: very patient with me during the section in the pool and both knowledgable and passionate about diving, which made the experience that much more rewarding. As I said, he was really professional, which meant that we got through the PADI-required skill exercises efficiently so we could enjoy as much of the diving as possible. For the first open water dives, we went out on Sail Rock’s boat in Maehaad Bay, which is a great spot to learn to dive as the water is very clear and it has a sandy floor but there are still a huge number of fish to see, so you feel that you have had a proper dive at the same time as doing the technical skills you need to obtain the PADI accreditation. The boat itself was excellent with lots of open, shaded spots to relax between dives, great food and lots of water and coffee etc. The rest of the staff on the boat were really friendly and helpful throughout. On the third day, we went to Sail Rock, which I was told was one of the best dive spots in all of Thailand and it didn’t disappoint. We finished the PADI exercises on the first dive and were then able to explore the dive site for the rest of the dive and the second dive, which was incredible as it has a multitude of different fish to see. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my experience with Sail Rock Divers and would recommend them to anyone either wanting to undertake a PADI course, or just to go on a recreational dive.

What an incredible team at Sail rock divers! I did my PADI advanced open water course with David R. as my Dive instructor, and I am more than happy with my decision. First of all, the equipment and the whole dive centre is very well maintained with the staff being very warm and welcoming. David R. is an awesome and fun dive instructor with a lot of experience, who gave me a lot of useful tips and tricks. He even speakes 4 languages fluently, making it easy for students to properly understand everything. The course itself was structured exactly to my needs, and everybody made sure that the course and all the dives were well organised. Additionally the own pool with 3meter depth was perfect for my girlfriend who took the open water course at the same time. All in all I can highly recommend this dive center if you want a safe and well organised dive/course with fun people.
