Student comments: |
Very well structured and concise course. Very well taught by Tony, no rushing or pressure.
Wonderful area for diving, lots of different exposures.
Racha Yai: Good introduction dive conditions yet with lots of life.
Phi Phi: Visibility is not so good but good fish life and exposure to currents.
Shark Point: Awareness of position important and expose to fair current.
Saw a leopard shark, cuttle fish and a lion fish ... EXCELLENT!!
Really enjoyed every moment of the course, lots of knowledge gained and passed by knowledgeable instructor.
Valuable asset PADI has in Tony - look after the young man.

Student comments: |
The course was very enjoyable. Tony was a knowledgeable instructor.
Dive sites were very diverse and we saw great marine life. Tony was fantastic in pointing out marine life to us.
I am very glad we had a day break in between diving days, as everything in 3 days would have been intense.

I learnt a lot from this course. Justin was fantastic and patient. I will recommend Dive The World to anyone wanting to dive.

Professional instructor that would not let you off easy ... Perfect! The instructor has a lot of knowledge and experience to share. They made every dive feel safe. The staff gave a good service and very professional.
Good beginner and intermediate sites. Exciting to see animals and plants.
Enjoyable.
I am coming back next year; hopefully I can get the same instructor.

No problems occurred. The instruction was good, I understood what to do.
The instructor is friendly and competent.
I've seen lots of different plants and fish but I don't know what their names are in English.
My open water course had lots of home work. I think that the amount I've paid is pretty high.

Overall I had a great experience. Justin taught us thoroughly everything we needed to know so we were comfortable and prepared. No problems-lots of fun.
We stay at Racha Yai the whole time due to the weather. At first I was a bit disappointed but each dive was different and I enjoyed myself completely. We even saw a sea turtle.
Thank you for such a fun experience. I would recommend this program to anyone.

The course was great, easy and fun. Justin made the course very enjoyable. My favorite part would have to be the sea turtle we saw. No problems, everything was great ... great.
Racha Yai we visited both time during our course and it was all lots of fun.
Thailand is awesome.

Justin is great student; we were supposed to go to Phi Phi on the last day of our training but due to bad weather we needed to go to Racha Yai instead but it was still nice.

There was no problem apart from rough sea on the way to the dive sites.
The course was clear and exact with clear instructions. I enjoyed the course very much because I understood all explanation.
Beautiful corals and colorful fish. Very beautiful underwater environment.
Only thing that not fun was the rough sea.
