DPM Diving Koh Phi Phi

Took a leap of faith and tried an SSI Agency for the first time and DPM Phi Phi did not disappoint! “React Right” and “Diver Stress and Rescue” courses: We took this course that was led by Alice with Tuly and Martina assisting, and it was a great experience being taught by them! Alice was professional but also shared many useful anecdotes and ways to conceptualise the various parts of the courses. Alice provided feedback constructively, while Martina and Tuly chimed in and shared their experiences where we had questions, and the three of them were stellar actors during the Open Water sessions of the course. We are glad to say that our confidence in dealing with underwater stress has improved significantly, and we are ready should an underwater emergency arise. (Fingers crossed we will never have to use what we have learnt) It was a very pleasant experience and we were tested to our personal limits within the safe boundaries of scuba diving! Also, congratulations to Tuly and Martina! Open Water Course: Simultaneously, our friends underwent the Open Water course led by Jordi, and for their first foray into scuba diving they have been very well instructed. Jordi was patient and level-headed throughout the course while providing good instruction, as we had witnessed our friends improve each dive throughout our time at Koh Phi Phi (see below). Fun Dives: Given the pleasant experience in our courses, we decided to do more fun dives with DPM, and we were brought around Phi Phi by Jordi. Jordi’s love for the marine world helped us all enjoy our dives, even our open water friends, and we were brought on a tour at a nice pace, slowing down whenever necessary. Jordi kept a tight group while allowing us time to observe the wonderful critters that he very helpfully pointed out. Jordi was extremely accommodating and when we expressed interest in particular creatures, he knew exactly where to look and bring us to! Kudos! Administration and Others: Aside from the wonderful staff named above, we would like to thank Chiara, Franc, Julia and Max (in order of our first interactions with each of you). Chiara and Julia were the first people we met at the shop, and theirpassion for marine life and love for scuba diving got us all excited after some very early flights and long transfers. They were always smiling, and prioritised service even when they werein the middle of attending to personal or work matters, and it was nice to be asked “How was the dive guys” every time we came back, as Phi Phi had so much to offer. Thank you Chiara and Julia! Franc made sure our administrative matters were resolved quickly, and addressed any concerns we had. He also catered to our requests promptly and was both friendly and professional. He was open to our suggestions and tried to accommodate our wishes as much as practicable, and he was also super nice giving us free T Shirts! Go Frank! Last but not least, i would like to give Max a shoutout as i had lost my reel on the boat. Max agreed to help me find it, even though we didn’t dive together, and had limited interactions as he was assisting other customers. I was super impressed by how far Max, and the rest of the DPM crew went to ensuring that we had a pleasant experience. Equipment, Safety, and Food: The equipment provided was clean and serviceable. Where there was even the slightest suspicion of a malfunction, the possibly faulty equipment was replaced immediately with no questions asked. A DIN adaptor was also provided upon request to my friend who brought his own regulator. There is also a washing area at the back of the shop which was more than sufficient to clean our gear. Safety was truly prioritised in DPM and they addressed all concerns professionally and with no hard feelings. The range of food options was also really impressive, and there was even ice water on board. We enjoyed the fried rice the most, but the other options were great too! Thank you all, and see you guys soon!

I had an absolutely amazing diving experience with Tuli in Koh Phi Phi. From start to finish, everything was extremely professional and well organized. The communication beforehand was clear, the equipment was in excellent condition, and the entire team made us feel safe and comfortable at all times. We dived at Koh Bida Nok and Viking Cave, and both sites were simply stunning. The underwater world was vibrant and full of life, with beautiful coral formations and plenty of marine species to discover. Tuli’s briefing was detailed and easy to understand, and underwater she guided us calmly and confidently, making the whole experience relaxed and unforgettable.

Had the best time ever! Raul and Jordi were so patients, professionals, understood our pace and in general we felt that were in good hands the entire time. Raul was so cool and chill, took very good photos, and always kept track of us to make sure we're ok. Jordi escorted my wife back to the boat when she couldn't continue her second dive, and he taught me how to make rings underwater which was awsome! We've seen turtle, sharks, flute fish, blowfish, lionfis, moray eel and many more. Thank you so much DPM for the experience, until we meet again (:
