A good place to carry out diving degree, Finnish friend at work which makes it easier Finnish hikers. I recommend everyone to visit the spot, a great beach and a good restaurant in the same place. Top-class service.

I flew over to South-East Asia with the intention of traveling around. My big Asia Tour plans changed, however, the minute I started diving. I started my open water course with Pirate Divers just after New Year's 2012 -and I got the bug. After completing my course with Alex Sharp (MSDT, owner of Technical Diving College Thailand) I continued straight... More

The team at Pirate Divers are awesome! I did a discover dive with Ali from the beach. Unfortunately I can't dive because of my sinuses, but instead of going right back to the beach and saying "oh well, it was worth a try" we stayed in the water with our gear and did some "diving" at the surface to look...

We went diving with Pirate Divers in March 2012 and were extremely satisfied. The divemaster Stephen as well as the owner Nick are extremely professional and helpful. The divesites (Sail Rock) were very nice and the beach dives easy and pleasant. The equipment is new and of high quality. I can only strongly recommend Pirate Divers.

My fiancee and I completed our PADI course with Priate Divers, we have since been diving with three different companies and neither of them have provided the same level of customer service that Priates provided. We received free photos of our first dive which was a great gift, the other companies we have been with charge a fortune for photos.... More

My girlfriend has made a review, and in response to the review the company are now not providing truthful responses. In the morning of our dive the company did not ask us to sign anything or even look at our Padi licence card. We made a booking over the phone so they also didnt look at this card in the... More

Again thank you for your response. You and your girlfriend seem to have a personal agenda against us. What you are writing are malicious lies which are not only harmful to the company which we have worked hard to maintain a very good reputation, but also to the staff who works here. The staffs who work here follow all of... More

Absolute disgrace to the PADI name! Avoid like the plague! My boyfriend and I booked a refresher course after having 18 months away from diving. We were picked up in the morning from our guest house by the boss of pirate divers (Nick) and again we mentioned us having not dived for 18 months. This was made extremely CLEAR! We... More

Hi thank you for your review. However there are some discrepancies in your review of us. When you booked with us you booked 2 fun dives, the fun dives do not include a refresher course the price of the refresher course is a bit more, and then you would have dived with another instructor in your own group to do...
