Super Divers Phuket

4.9(303 reviews)

Situated directly on Patong Beach, this PADI 5-star certified scuba diving centre serves as a well-regarded base for underwater exploration in Phuket. The centre caters to a wide range of divers, from complete beginners working toward their Open Water certification to certified divers joining guided fun dives at local reef sites. Instructors are consistently praised by name in visitor reviews for their patience, clear communication, and ability to make nervous first-timers feel at ease in the water — a strong indicator of the teaching culture here. Beyond instruction, the centre handles the logistical side of dive trips with a smooth, organised approach that travellers tend to appreciate. Guided dives include attentive underwater supervision, and instructors often photograph participants during dives, sharing images afterwards. The overall atmosphere leans professional but relaxed, making it suitable for solo travellers, couples, and small groups alike. Good to know: The centre operates daily from noon to 6 PM, so morning arrivals should plan other activities before heading in. Bookings can be made through the PADI app as well as directly via the centre's website. Peak diving season in Phuket runs from November to April, when seas are calmer and visibility is at its best — advance booking during this period is strongly recommended. Those enrolling in a certification course should factor in classroom and pool time before any open-water dives take place.

I went for a fun dive with Yoyo, and I really appreciated how closely he kept an eye on me throughout the entire session. He also took several photos of me during the dive and shared them afterward, which I can keep as great memories. Communication with the shop and the instructor was easy and convenient through WhatsApp, so I never had any trouble staying in touch. Highly recommended! If I had to mention one small downside, it would be that although the booking stated that English was available, Yoyo was not very comfortable speaking English. I would have loved to hear more detailed explanations about the dive sites, so that part was a bit of a missed opportunity. However, underwater communication doesn’t rely on language, so it was not an issue at all during the dive :)

We had an amazing time learning diving with Super Divers Phuket. Sir Johan Erasmus made it super easy, fun and comfortable for us. They way he explained things to us and his conduct from the beginning of the course to end of it was very professional and friendly at the same time. We did OW and AOW together as a combo and we got a really nice deal from the dive shop. We got 12 dives and completed the courses in 5 days. The boats were top notch and provided such great food and experience that will remain with us for the lifetime. Other dive shops had a teacher to student ratio of 1:4 but we got a teacher to student ratio of 1:2 which was the best for inexperienced and intimidated folks like us. I highly recommend the Super Divers and Sir Johan for starting your diving journey.

I found Super Divers Phuket through the PADI app while looking for a day dive during my vacation in Phuket. The team was very professional and organized — everything was managed smoothly from start to finish. Big shoutout to my dive buddy and Dive Master Dena, who made me feel completely comfortable and relaxed throughout the dives. She checked on everything from the moment we got on the boat until we returned, and her calm energy made the whole experience even better. It was truly an amazing day of diving! Great job, Dena and the Super Divers team — I’ll definitely be back!

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 Through Klook or GetYourGuide

These platforms offer instant confirmation, free cancellation on most activities, and prices that are often lower than walk-up rates. 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.
