My
husband
and
I
came
to
Koh
Phi
Phi
specifically
for
the
world-class
diving.
We
found
Leisure
Dive
Center,
and
we
are
so
glad
we
chose
to
dive
with
them.
Our
dive
master
was
Verné,
and
she
was
incredible!
While
my
husband
and
I
are
both
certified,
this
is
only
our
third
diving
trip,
and
our
most
recent
trip
before
this
one
was
over
two
years
ago.
As
a
result,
we
needed
to
do
a
little
refresher
before
heading
out
for
our
dives.
Verne
walked
us
through
all
the
skills
we
would
need
to
do,
and
I
noticed
what
a
patient
and
thorough
teacher
she
is.
I
imagine
she
would
be
the
perfect
person
with
whom
to
do
a
certification
course,
or
a
“discover
scuba”
dive.
She
is
so
knowledgeable,
patient,
and
communicative.
An
excellent
teacher.
After
we
got
reacquainted
with
our
skills,
we
were
off
for
our
first
dive.
On
the
boat
ride
to
the
site,
Verne
told
us
about
the
island,
her
favorite
spots,
and
she
shared
our
diving
plan
with
us.
We
really
enjoyed
our
conversations
with
her
throughout
our
trip.
The
first
dive
was
incredible.
The
visibility
was
okay
(what
I
understand
to
be
typical
for
the
low
season
in
the
area),
but
we
saw
so
many
things!
Verne
was
great
about
finding
and
pointing
out
all
of
the
amazing
wildlife.
She
was
also
super
attentive,
always
checking
in
with
us
to
make
sure
we
were
doing
well.
During
our
surface
interval
before
our
second
dive,
my
husband
and
I
decided
we
absolutely
wanted
to
dive
with
Verne
again
the
next
day
and
booked
her
on
the
spot.
The
next
dive
that
day
and
the
two
the
second
day
were
all
spectacular.
We
saw
some
amazing
schools
of
fish,
sharks,
sea
snakes,
eels,
sea
cucumbers,
and
even
a
turtle!
I
cannot
imagine
having
a
better
experience,
all
made
possible
by
our
fantastic
dive
master.
Around
the
shop,
we
also
met
Rob,
with
whom
we
didn’t
get
to
dive,
but
who
seems
like
a
really
cool
person
and
a
knowledgeable
dive
master
as
well.
I
cannot
recommend
them
enough!
