Had an excellent time earlier today with South Siam Divers. Adam was my divemaster and was excellent at showing our group things like shrimp, lionfish (large), shark, and numerous other things. The first site we went to was King Cruiser (wreck dive). Loads and loads of fish and underwater life. Next was Shark Point, which should really be renamed because... More

Our experience with South Siam Divers was good overall, but there were a few things that could be improved on. We booked 4 days (3 nights) via the internet through ‘Khao Lak Liveaboards’ and Paul was very responsive, answering all our questions and we were asked all the appropriate questions regarding qualifications and what equipment we needed, etc, so we...

This was my first diving experience ever and it was amazing. The staff on the boat, such as Ti, were extremely friendly and our diving instructor, Phil, was extremely professional. The place where they took us diving was full of fish and the visibility was great. I would highly recommend this company for anyone looking to go on diving tours... More

Most of the reviews I've read seemed to be right on - the good and the bad. My boyfriend and I did the 2 day/1 night live aboard trip on the Siam 3. I guess a lot probably has to do with expectations. My bf has been diving for several years, but this was my first real diving trip aside... More

Had high expectations for the trip but overall was somewhat disappointed. Spent 3 days on SSD4 - Similan island diving was unimpressive with heaps of dead coral/few fish. The 2 dives on Richelieu rock and Koh Tachai (not 100% sure, whichever dive comes directly after Richelieu) were very good however with plenty of soft coral, etc. Overall there were few... More

SSD run many trips on a fleet of boats, so this is about a 5 night stay on SS4, a budget liveaboard, to the Similans and Richelieu Rock. There's a lot of logistics involved in getting you there (and many others) from Phuket, which was well organized. You will need to be in Phuket at least the night before due... More

Booked our day diving trip to Similan Islands departing from Karon via an agent. We've booked and paid for our gears with the agent prior to our arrival to Phuket. Went to the agent (which was another dive shop, if you want to know the name please send me a message) to try on our gears as adviced but upon... More

Overall the experience was good for budget LOB dive operator. With good food, diving and service. However, the main problems are still around since my last patronage. Cabins floors were damp but fortunately the beds were dry unlike my last visit. Rushing customers especially on your last dive just before departure. Dive guide who was assigned to us although knowledgeable... More

We had the opportunity to dive with South Siam Divers on a day dive in December 2011. The boat was clean and had good accommodations. The dive master (wish I could remember his name) was awesome. He provided good information and planning. He lead us on three great dives... Koh Dok Mai, King Cruiser wreck, and Sharks Point! All awesome... More

We had a great day with South Siam. They were very professional to deal with and book the trip. The instructor we had Phill Rogers was AWESOME! As he knew this was our first time he was great with getting us ready and ensuring we felt comfortable in the water. The boat was not the newest one at the pier... More
