Open water scuba certifiication course with beach dives

Charles is very experienced, very knowledgeable of the dive sites across Phuket , an ex serviceman from the UK he has dived all over the world and been an instructor since 2000. With tips about where to go in middle America and California, he even found a missing WW2 plane in Loch Ness and offered closure to the families of the fatal accident decades after the fact. Very generous with his knowledge, and I was lucky enough to have him as my personal instructor when others made the not bother with only one student. It’s the off season in phuket so many other instructors would wait until they could book multiple students on their dives. Now Padi open water certified, very confident, and having swum with leopard sharks, turtles, lion fish, and sighted many fish and corals I need to avoid to stay safe , I gotta say I can’t fault the training, detail, and knowledge I have is all down to the thorough and fun training of one very clever and talented Scottish fella. Completely unsteriotypically generous. (Sorry Charles had to remind you of the stingy Jock joke). Oh and special thanks to the boat crew , great food, friendly assistants, and awesome dive sites.

Charles from Kiwidivers was great with us. He made us feel comfortable and took us through all the tasks for our open water certification. He was very reliable and always felt that he was very organized and professional. His program gave us 6 sea dives and we had a great time and saw so much! I would definitely recommend Kiwidivers to my friends and family. Thanks Charles!

Booked our 2 days boat diving with Kiwidivers from UK before we got to Thailand. Booking couldn't have been easier - Charles was knowledgeable and really helpful. My daughter had to complete her open water dives for Padi Open Water certification and we completed 6 dives over 2 days in some of the most spectacular locations including Phi Phi. Charles is a very experienced and patient instructor and the organisation, kit etc was first class. I would have no hesitation in recommending Kiwidiver Centre and Charles if you are thinking about diving in Phuket....plus the diving experience is off the scale!
