I did my Open Water Diver license some days ago and was really positively surprised: Everything was super smooth, from the first contact end of November when I booked the course, until the last moments on the boat on my third day, I was accompanied by very experienced divers only and everyone was super friendly and helpful. I did my course with Leo, a young but very talented and experienced instructor from Germany. I was lucky to be alone with him and he took very well care of me and my skills. I felt always in good hands, even in stressful moments he succeeded to calm me down and to reassure me. Yann, the owner of the diving center, is also extremely helpful and reliable. Everyone is on time, and you can trust you get excellent service. If you are French, German or English speaking, you will be served at best at this place!!

  My wife and i did a discover scuba with Sawasdee Divers. Every thing was perfect! Super team! Big thanks to Caro! We felt very safe and the dives was amazing. The boat was confortable and the Thai foods very testy. I strongly recommend you Sawasdee Divers and for sure we will come back again. Thank you.

  Once I had narrowed down Krabi as my location to do my Advanced Open Water Dive certification, I set about researching the dive schools. There were a couple of dive schools located in Krabi that came with very good positive reviews and Sawasdee was one of them. I contacted them via phone and their Course Director, Yann, was extremely helpful. We quickly switched over to email as the mode of communication and I got very clear answers to all of my questions. Course material (online) was sent to me well in advance and I was all set to start my AOWD skills course. Krabi dive schools take their students/certified divers to dive spots near Phi Phi islands - this is about 2.5-3 hours one way from Krabi. Now you would wonder why one would do this instead of staying at Phi Phi Island itself! I asked myself that before I booked Krabi and I was clear that I wanted a stay experience that was quieter than Phi Phi islands and had more to offer - Krabi was just that. On Day 1, I also realized that these long boat rides each way was just perfect for me - it gave me a lot of time to rest and reflect - on dives and life! My dive instructor, Hugo Gerard, is someone I would describe as a gentle giant! Hugely experienced, Hugo was extremely patient with me and despite me messing up several times on the skills, he would walk me through each step in detail repeatedly. All the time, he would share his own experiences while he was learning skills himself. In my search & recovery session, I messed real bad and he knew I was upset - he was gracious to give me a strong hug back on the boat and tell me to keep my chin up and practice. My last dive with him was just an incredible experience with Hugo trying hard to spot a leopard shark that he knew was in the area and I dont know which made smile more - actually spotting the leopard shark at close range or seeing Hugo 'fist-pump' on spotting it! He's a good man and I am glad I learned under him. Sawasdee's other instructors, Amanda, Julien, Caro, etc were all great people too and made the whole experience wonderful for me. Great care with equipment, prep, etc was just good to see. The other good thing about Krabi was how the dive schools worked together to give students and divers a good experience - when needed they would share resources like the boat, etc - it was a overall a nicely and professionally run island operation. Anyways, I left Krabi with fond memories and great instructors in Sawasdee Divers!

  This place was great. I searched for the closest diving center closest to my hotel and this place showed up. I went in the day before and they helped me book a diving trip without any trouble. The person was very knowledge about diving. On the day off the dive, my dive master Amanda was very helpful to both myself and my the other diver. She went over the whole dive plan with both of us and even helped us setup our gears. If I had more time here in Krabi, I would definitely get my Advanced Open Water through them.

  If I could rate more than 5 stars I would! 2 amazing dives in Phi Phi with so much diversity, the spots that were chosen to dive at weren't crowded which made the experience ever better. Best food I've had on any boat, friendly boat staff and dive masters. The owner even picked us up outside of their regular range (for a little extra $ which was completely understandable) because we couldn't get a cab that early in the morning. Clean boat and nice equipment, really cannot do it better! If I could dive again with this company I would do it again in a heartbeat!!
