Thanks to Danny, Oui and Iain for their patience, knowledge and skill in organising our family dive day to Racha Yai. Danny took some underwater snaps to help us remember the first time out whole family has scuba dived together. We would certainly recommend these folks to anyone wanting to enjoy a day on and under the water. More

I started exchanging mails with Iain about a month before we arrived in Phuket. He was very patient with all the questions (many about the town and not the dive) and answered promptly. He was very encouraging and even got a friend of mine, who cannot swim, to test the waters. Iain even came over to our hotel a day... More

We did our PADI open water diver course with Iain, Oui and Danny from Sharkey Scuba. Having one instructor for just the 2 of us was really good and even though I was quite nervous about diving they were so friendly and professional that I could completely trust them. Not only were they great dive instructors with good quality equpiment... More

I found out about Sharkey Scuba by researching TripAdvisor reviews and am so glad I decided to book my Open Water Diver certification through them! From the time I sent the first inquiry email, Iain and Oui (the owners/dive instructors) were very responsive and professional. The whole experience was just wonderful - I especially appreciated the one on one instruction.... More

We completed our confined water dives in the US and went to Phuket to do our open water dives and complete our certification. Oui and Dan picked us up at our hotel, took us to Sharkey's, gave us a complete review of the dives and were clear every step of the way. They are extremely professional yet *amazingly* friendly. There... More

My boyfriend and I went scuba diving for the first time in December. Iain and Oui could not have been more friendly and helpful. Had a great time and was so surprised at how much we could see even though we were only a few metres under water! The itinerary was (approx): 8.30 - picked up from hotel to pier,... More

It was our first time diving. So we did the Discover Scuba Diving with Lain and Oui - and it was just perfect! They are both really good teachers and explain you in a patient and professional way the basics about diving, so that you feel well prepared for your first dive. We did our two dives together with Oui... More

I found Sharkey Scuba on Trip Advisor and did not know what to expect when I made contact. What I found was two amazing and dedicated people in Iain and Oui who helped me plan out my dive trips, were more than happy to meet me before hand over a lovely dinner with other divers, and generally provided an exceptional...
