“An experience that should not be missed on any trip through Phuket! Easy Air conditioned transfer from hotels, a seamless meet up & boat ride out to the island, and best of all, an incredible experience once you’re there! Oody my guide felt more like a friend than an instructor, but gave clear direct instructions. I was terrified going in, but loved scuba diving because Oody provided such great direction! The pics & videos of the beautiful dive were worth it. Could not possibly recommend more!”

“The snorkeling was okay. I think we were there at a higher tide so it wasn’t ideal. The best part was the swimming near the beach. The water was the most beautiful, clear blue that I have ever seen and since I had my own snorkel, I was able to snorkel near the rocks on the beach. It was amazing!”
