PADI Discover Scuba Diving Experience Full Day Trip

I've dived Koh Ha and HDHM many times and with many of the shops on Koh Lanta. Scubafish is the best on several fronts. 1) Since they leave from as far South, they spend less time getting to the dive areas, which means that a 3rd dive is offered, which most other shops don't offer. 2) The staff is experienced and professional: I've dived with them several times and usually the same staff is present, which means that the staff that they are intimately familiar with the locations. 3) Roman, their underwater photographer takes really good pictures 4) There is plenty of space on the boat and the food is good. Also, if interested they go to Koh Rock, which is worth a trip (saw a whale shark there).

I decided to go to Scubafish for my Discover Scuba Diving experience after reading a positive review on a travel blog. My experience lived up to that review and more, as I had a great first diving experience which has made me hungry for more. :D When I first went to the shop to ask for info the staff there were extremely kind and helpful in answering all my questions about diving for the first time. What I really appreciated at Scubafish was how the DSD experience is arranged: on the first day you go to the swimming pool with your instructor - there you are acquainted with the basics of scuba diving (e.g. the various parts the diving gear is composed of, how to breathe underwater, how to clean your mask etc.) - and on the next one you go out at sea for the real diving. I liked this because you're not taken to the sea straight away and thus have time to slowly figure out how everything works, which is why I decided to book here. So, the first day I got introduced to my instructor, Vera, who took me to the swimming pool and then through the three dives I did on the next day. A special mention goes to her: she was super relaxed, kind and happy to answer my questions and doubts even when they were not strictly part of the DSD experience. Then on the second day we went to Koh Haa and did three dives there (two are part of the package, the third one is up to you to purchase): saw a lot of fish and the underwater fauna and had an amazing time, so much so that I'm seriously considering going back to Scubafish for my Open Water certificate. Also, pick-up service from and to your hotel is provided, as well as food and drinks for the whole day, so you really don’t need to worry about a thing. In a nutshell: I’m glad I came here, I had a great time and I recommend it!

We did 3 amazing trips with Scubafish - one snorkelling to Koh Haa, one Discover Scuba to Koh Haa and a dive trip to Koh Rok. The instructors are amazing and gave my children (12 and 10) lots of confidence as this was their first dive. Louise, the snorkelling guide, was fantastic and pointed out lots of exciting things to my youngest (7) who thoroughly enjoyed the snorkelling at both locations. Very friendly staff, lovely day out on the boat and catering is great too. The Liquidlense photographers are great too - we bought their underwater photos on each trip - amazing quality.
