Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Best Scuba we ever did. Had the chance to be with an excellent Dive master Named Yuri. Good briefing before the dives and he took care of our equipments before every dives.

In the water, The visibility was about 30 meters which we Never experienced before. The boat was very comfy compared to other places in Thailand. Very warm water also which was different from a lot of other dives we did elsewhere in the world.

Had the chance to see sharks, rays, turtles and thousands of fish.

Felt very well organised and very safe and I would Dive with them again anytime.

Also, excellent costumer service before and after the dive.

I wanted to do a discover scuba diving course as a senior citizen before it is too late. And wow! I had a wonderful experience from the booking to the dive!
Everything is well thought out and organized. Every staff member was friendly and professional. On the day of the dive I met my diving instructor Gary. He explained everything in detail and took extra time, so that even for me, who is little slow, it was easy to understand. And what even surprised me more was that I was unable to break his unwavering enthusiasm with my stubborn negativity! Where many others would have faltered and throw in the towel, Gary mustered amazing courage in the face of a cynical old man and... overcame. Flabbergasting!
Good fortune on your journey, and
Rocc on!

Excellent dive team - they know exactly where the best fish are.
Very smooth process - very professional.
Didn't need to once clear the mask - the equipment and personnel are that good (divers would understand).
My dive instructor - Telly promised me sharks - and that's the first thing we saw and several of them. Very helpful and guides well. I had the most up-close adventure with a sea turtle - Telly sure knew where his fish are !

Lastly - the photos taken by Andressa are a true lifetime memory - sharing a couple here.

All in all - great experience. Would definitely recommend going for this team - whether you're a novice or a professional.

As someone who doesn't know how to swim but love being in the waters i was really tempted to go scuba diving. Thank god i stumbled upon Barakuda, they assured me i'll be safe in their discover scuba plan. Simon my instructor was really patient and skilled. All thanks to him, i was freely observing the sea. What a wonderful world down there. Andressa, the photographer took some really amazing pictures and i got to share the experience with friends and family. Totally worth it. Thanks for making me discover scuba 🤿💕🌻

We had a fantastic time at this place! Despite our different levels of experience, the staff warmly welcomed and professionally managed us—special thanks to Telly for guiding me through the PADI open water and advanced courses day by day. Throughout the courses, I experienced countless unforgettable moments, including mesmerising interactions with sharks, turtles, and various marine life. The wreck diving was also fantastic.🙌

If there is one place that completely changed the way I dive, it would be Barakuda Scuba. As a new Open Water Diver, I've had the profile of being a nervous diver, trouble descending and my buoyancy was lacking. Keegan, who is a Master Instructor, took me in for a confined water session to address these skillsets and I was blown away! By the end of this session, I've felt confident with my gear, I am now properly weighted, and I can frog kick and use my breath to move around without touching corals. Best of all, my mind is absolutely zen when entering into the ocean thanks to this session.

I've signed up for 2 fun dives for the next day with Tat, and really enjoyed the experience in the ocean thanks to her amazing briefing and guiding!

The entire vibe of the ship of divers and crew was warm, demonstrated passion and safety to the highest standards for scuba diving. From now on, I am only selecting IDC 5-star dive centers such as Barakuda.

Don't look any further, this is a dive center that knows that they're doing, many thanks and gratitude! I look forward to diving here again when I come back to Phi Phi Islands!
