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.

I cannot recommend Paradise Diving (now known as Sea Bees) enough!!! I was very nervous as I hadn’t done a dive in years, but Tiin was so kind and caring and quickly put me at ease so that I was underwater in no time. She is a complete professional and really knows what’s she’s doing, and she knows how to make your experience fun and interesting. It’s clear she’s passionate about what she does and that passion is contagious. The boat crew were so lovely and really took care of us the whole time. I did 2 dives and my friend snorkelled, and we were both amazed at all the beautiful sea life we saw. If, like me, you haven’t dived in a while and are nervous about it then book a tour through Sea Bees. Even if you’re not nervous, book a tour through them! You will have the most incredible experience and be looked after so well! I walked away on such a high! A huge thank you to the entire Sea Bees team.

Due to our extremly good experiences in the past years we decided to come back to Paradise Diving Asia.
Again Tiin and Micha and the whole Team showed their professionalism when it comes to organizing dive trips or the dives itself.
We were positively impressed, that they explored new divesites they are now frequently travelling to which gave us new impressions of submarine live.
We could see a lot of nudies, turtles and shrimp residing in their home reefs.
Again their professional way to help newbies to become a scubadiver touched our heart. Experienced divers will get their satisfaction as well.
So we booked two tours with them. One to Kho Pipi another as liveaboard to the similan island.
Due to their perfect handling of gear logistics we only had to jump in a taxi in the morning and found our personal kits already set up on the dive boats which brought us to the offshore divespot.
Again it was a wonderful experience and we are thankfull that we could enjoy this great diving vacation with them.
Kudos to the whole team for the impressive effort they are taking on every day to make the stay with them a safe and enjoyable experience !

We booked a 2-dive trip with Sea Bees Diving/Paradise Diving at the JW Marriott Hotel in Phuket. This diving school is by far the most professional diving school, I have been to!!!From the timely pick-up from the hotel, the friendly welcome of the owners, to the top top quality diving equipment, everything was just perfect. We went with a small group of divers and snorkelers to two different dive sites.
My instructor Gaston was the perfect buddy, to do my first dives after Covid. He was extremely empathetic, motivating and took the time to do some refresher excercises to make me feel safe after such a long time without diving.
The dive sites Stone Coral and Koh Weo were amazing and we were able to see the colorful underwater world with beautiful intact corals and many different species of fish.
After going diving in other locations in Thailand, I can truly say that this diving school deserves a 5*+ rating. Thank you for making me feel safe in every moment and for being so professional and sympathetic! Hope to be back, soon!

We had no prior diving experience. We wholeheartedly recommend this diving school to anybody wanting to pick up the sport or anybody seeking to go on a dive at one of the beautiful reefs in the Nai Yang area.
The diving school is run by a German couple who take pride in teaching and high safety standards. In a part of the world where the equipment isn’t always in the best shape, we were especially grateful to spend time on learning how to check that the equipment is safe.
Tiin is a great teacher and made sure that the course participants could learn at their own speed.
Really highly recommend. Go diving with this awesome dive school. 5/5

Great diving center, super nice people, amazing experience.
I did 2 separate diving days. The first just off the coast, half-day, 20 min boat ride, great coral dives and a happy smile by lunch time. The second day it was a very full day at the Similan islands, in a larger group of the SeeBees (of which Paradise Diving is part of), to those amazing islands for 3 dives, 45 min drive and a couple of hours on the boat. There was time to meet fellow divers, eat, relax under the sun and then down for the business of diving, which was just surreal.
Special thanks to Michael who didn't get on the boat but steers the diving center communication and everything else like a proper sea captain ;)

I have been a regular on Paradise Diving for many years and I always love the experiences and service.
Everything is perfectly organized from the first contact to the last diving session. The owners Tiin and Micha are not only incredibly friendly and accommodating, but also extremely experienced and competent. Her passion for diving is infectious and reflected in every detail.
A special highlight is the individual support. The dive groups are small and professionally managed so that even beginners feel comfortable at all times. The entire team responds to personal wishes and creates a family atmosphere that makes every dive a special experience. Here you're not just a number with fins.
I can fully recommend Paradise Diving. Thank you for your warmth and professionalism – you make every dive a highlight!

Very good and professional diving center on Nai Yang Beach.
The equipment and planning of the diving procedures leave nothing to be desired. Snorkeling with a guide or the dives always offer something special and unforgettable.
The team on site is super and fulfills all wishes.
I'm already looking forward to the next time

This was one of my best experiences ever! I learned diving at Paradise Diving Base and from the first contact until the end it was just perfect! The owner Tiin & Micha are great hosts, the trainer and dive guards as well.
All in all it was not only diving, every evening we went out for dinner at the beach together.
I will definitely come back and can highly recommend the Paradise Diving for beginners as well as for advanced diver.

Wonderful people, fantastic experience. An absolute must. Based in Northern Phuket near the airport. The most friendly and welcoming of people, Tiin and her husband could not have more accomodating, engaging and friendly. My husband and I had an amazing experience. They took us on a 20 min speedboat ride, did a mornings snorkelling, was shown some of the most beautiful sea life ever, and I ALMOST overcame my fear of Jellyfish. Almost. And all at a very reasonable price, too! If you're planning a Scuba diving or snorkeling experience on your holidays, please use these guys. Just brilliant.

Hi, I apologize for my silly query. Me and my wife don't know how to swim. Can we still join in your half day dive trip from naiyang?
Written 21 February 2019
Dear Hemant,
No worry, no question is silly. To be safe under and on the water it is indeed important that you can swim. It will also make the whole experience much better. If you like to discover this wonderful and hidden world please learn how to swim, it is really worth it !
Hope to see you one day back in paradise

Dear Michael/everyone, we are looking for a good place to snorkel around this time. First time in Phuket and we see there are a lot of waves now... any tips. Are Similian islands recommendable for snorkeling now?
Written 28 July 2018
Dear Dagmar,
Great to welcome you in our little bit windy paradise. During the west wind season (or low season) we have a lot of waves and low visibility on the west side of Phuket. Therefore we cannot go out to our lovely snorkeling spots near Nai Yang. The similan islands share the same fate and are closed until November. But....we do of course go out to the protected bays of Racha Noi (Tuesday) and Racha Yai (Wednesday), where you can snorkel in protected bays over lots of coral and fish. Best to come into our shop tomorrow and we can tell you more about your options ! See you soon, Michael

Hi there, my husband and I are staying at the Pullman resort in Nai Thon beach and are looking to get certified in diving. We've completed our classroom training with a confined dive in a pool at home through a PADI Dive shop. We are looking to finish our 4 open water dives there on April 24th & 25th. Would you be able to offer an open water dive course that PADI would recognize? Also what is the charge for two days of diving? Thanks!

Do you organize snorkelling day around Similan ilands for families with childrens ?
Written 13 February 2017
Dear Audrey,
we do have a boat to the similans daily. This boat can also take children. But this boat is not specialized on snorkeling. We do visit two spots on which you can also snorkel but we will not enter the beach. The advantage is that you will get a spacy boat with a climatized lounge area, fresh kitchen and big sundeck and do not need to be cramped in with 80 chinese on a speed boat.

Hi there, is this Dive shop certified with Padi open water courses?
Written 28 January 2017
Hello Taryn,
we do PADI courses and SSI. Both organizations are the biggest in the world and well known. Also both accept each others certifications due to the reason that both together founded an organization that approves dive certifications!
But SSI is cheaper, because you do not have to pay extra for the online learning!
If you have any further questions please let us know!
Thanks a lot!
Cheers,
