Aussie Divers Phuket

5.0(1,216 reviews)

Based in Rawai on Phuket's southern coast, Aussie Divers Phuket is a well-established diving operation offering everything from Open Water certification courses to multi-day fun dive packages. Owner Darren Gaspari runs a hands-on operation with a reputation for attentive service at every stage, from initial enquiry through to the final dive. The Rawai location provides ready access to southern Phuket dive sites, with the team managing equipment, logistics, and site selection based on conditions and diver experience levels.

Visitors consistently describe a smooth, professional atmosphere with strong attention to detail throughout. The operation caters equally to complete beginners working through certification and experienced divers joining recreational boat trips. Equipment and facilities receive positive mentions across the board, and the team is particularly noted for responsiveness during the pre-trip planning stage — including for travellers booking from overseas well in advance of their arrival.

AUSSIE DIVERS PHUKET I had an absolutely outstanding experience with Aussie Divers Phuket in September 2025. From the very beginning, owner Darren Gaspari runs a first-class operation — professional, organised, and clearly passionate about diving. My instructor, Guy Allen, was exceptional. Calm, knowledgeable, and incredibly thorough, he made every dive feel safe, relaxed, and enjoyable. His briefings were clear, his guidance underwater was reassuring, and his professionalism really stood out. We dived at the spectacular Phi Phi Islands as well as Racha Noi and Racha Yai, among others — each site offering fantastic visibility, vibrant marine life, and unforgettable underwater scenery. The entire crew was brilliant — friendly, attentive, and safety-focused — and the food on board was fantastic as well, which made the whole day even more enjoyable between dives. Thank you to all the crew and personnel. This is a top-tier dive operation in every respect. I’m already looking forward to coming back in September 2026! Highly recommend to anyone diving in Phuket, don’t go past Aussie Divers! 🌊🐠👌✌️🙏

We had an absolutely fantastic time diving with Aussie Divers Phuket and can’t recommend them highly enough. We spent a total of seven days on the boat and felt incredibly well taken care of from start to finish. Our main guide, Moody, is one of the best dive guides we’ve ever had – highly professional, extremely knowledgeable, and a genuinely warm and friendly person. His understanding of the local dive sites and marine life made every dive special. With around 130 dives logged, we can honestly say he stands out as exceptional. The dives themselves were breathtaking: huge schools of fish, turtles, blacktip sharks, and incredible biodiversity, especially around Phi Phi. The entire crew was professional, friendly, and fun to be around, and the food on board was outstanding – honestly far too good for a dive boat! An unforgettable experience overall. We will definitely dive with Aussie Divers again if we return to Phuket.

I did the open water course at Aussie Divers Phuket a few days ago plus an extra day of fun dives. They made the whole experience from booking to completion simple & hassle free. The equipment and facilities were really good & the whole process ran like clockwork. Special shout out to my instructor Chris who was excellent - very patient, kind, fun & knowledgeable to put my mind at rest & ensure I completed the course & enjoyed the diving. Would highly recommend! Thanks guys - Grace

Koh Yao Noi sits in the middle of Phang Nga Bay, thirty to forty-five minutes by boat from either Phuket or Krabi, yet it feels a decade removed from both — a quiet Muslim fishing island of rice paddies, rubber plantations, water-buffalo pastures, and east-coast viewpoints looking onto the.

Tips for Visiting Activities & Tours

Vet Elephant Sanctuaries

Only visit sanctuaries that prohibit riding, use no chains or bullhooks, and let elephants roam freely. Elephant Nature Park in Chiang Mai set the standard. If a place offers painting shows or circus tricks, walk away.

Book Popular Activities Online

Booking platforms like GetYourGuide give you instant confirmation and, on many activities, free cancellation — and you can read recent reviews before committing. Compare with local agencies for multi-day trips where negotiation might save more.

Do Outdoor Activities in the Morning

Heat and humidity peak from noon to 3 PM. Schedule jungle treks, cycling tours, and outdoor cooking classes for early morning. Water activities are more flexible since you're in and out of the sea.
