My fiancé and I were both new PADI certified divers, so when we decided to visit Phuket, Thailand we knew it would be best to go with a company that we felt comfortable with and Sub Aqua filled all our expectations. From the moment we walked into the shop we were greeted by “I’m not from Australia” Kerrie and she... More

We were picked up at the resort in Nai Harn :) The staff (Kerry, Marc), as well as DivemasteR TED, is incredibly friendly and knowledgable. On the boat was a good service and good... More

I was looking to complete my Advanced PADI course when in Karon/ Kata and found these guys to be so helpful and professional, yet fun and friendly. They knew exactly what I needed and supported me with my reading materials as well as the help/ advice and teaching during the practical skills. They went over what I wanted to achieve... More

I travelled all over the world diving and had many places with great service and even greater experience, but none compared to Sub Aqua. The moment you walk in you feel at home. They advise you on what to do, when to do it and can arrange virtually anything in diving, even if it is outside their core area. Liveaboards... More

Sub Aqua Dive Centre is located on the main road below the Hilton and were recommended to us by the Hotel. Both trips I was travelling with my mother and we are both experienced Open Water certified divers. Our... More

The staff and facilities at Sub Aqua Dive Centre are first class, I had only dived a couple of times before but could see that the equipment and attention to detail were of a high standard. The staff are friendly but quietly professional, ensuring all safety rules are made clear but also making sure you have a fun and relaxing... More

My friend and I went diving with them - 1 day boat dive where we did in total of 3 dives. The price for 3 boat dives + equipment + transfer (hotel-jetty-hotel) + foods on boat + insurance = THB4400. Their dive equipment are all in good condition and they keep low number of peoples per dive master. FYI, most... More

Sub Aqua is the most professional dive company we have come across. Kerry and Marc were fabulously helpful and knowledgeable! They limit the dive groups to a max. of 4 people which allows the instructor to point out all sorts of fun critters. If we ever find ourselves back in Phuket, there is no question we will dive with Sub... More
