    What a wonderful day diving Phi Phi islands with Sea Bees. Its a full day trip, and I mean, full: full of great diving, experiences, friendly service, amazing staff, great underwater creatures and super yummy food. 11 hours of bliss. Firstly the boat: great, solid, beautiful, convenient, stable, huge. There are several areas and plenty of space. Secondly the diving: 60 minute dives in a unique environment, safe and fun. The highlight of the day was the encounter with the leopard shark. My guide during that dive, Tee, was a local lady very experienced and great at finding creatures, as a photographer I felt blessed. Thirly the service: the instructors on this boat are seasoned and very friendly. Nico was very accommodating with my needs. He went out of his way to secure a great experience for the 3 divers he was guiding, even posing patiently for my pictures. Thanks Nico! Everything was perfect, we had great food all through the day (I dont know about you but Im super hungry after dives 😋). The showers were great, a real advantage specially after your third dive. All in all an excellent experience, a day full of great menories, not only underwater but also during the trip, with the amazing scenery of the national park in the background. I will surely repeat.

    Wow! Best dive operation we’ve ever experienced. Such VIP treatment. Amazingly nice dive boat, great fresh made breakfast and lunch. Nice upstairs deck for eating with a nice cash bar for after diving. Top notch equipment and guides. So safe and informative. Amazing. Can’t wait to go back. Thank you Niko for a great day!

    For the Best Dive company in Phuket look no further. I had a fantastic 5 days diving with the Sea Bees. Extremely well organized with pick up from my hotel and back. The Excalibur II was a great dive boat and the food is abundant and very good. The dive deck is very spacious, everyone has their own basket and there are good showers to clean up and wash off. A special thank you to Tee who is the best organizer for dive times while on board and getting you on the right bus at the end of the day in addition to a great instructor. All the Sea Bees dive instructors were excellent, friendly and knowledgeable, special thanks to Sjon. Thanks to the entire Sea Bees team, I shall return.

    We are just back from an amazing holiday in Thailand and Sea Bees was definitely one of our great highlights of the trip! What a super organised company, from helpful communication before arriving, really great staff, hotel pick ups, top class rental equipment to the nicest dive boat in Phuket! My partner and I went diving, and the kids (8 and 11 years old) went snorkeling from the boat. Sea Bees had a snorkel guide onboard, she was really lovely and great with the kids, so we could both go diving knowing the kids were well looked after. We all had a great time on the boat. Excalibur has loads of room with a comfy sundeck, lots of seating space, freshly cooked breakfast and lunch, which was delicious, and even a bar to have a beer after diving on the way back - what more can you ask for? The dive deck was really spacious and the boat crew was always helpful with everything from filling tanks to getting everyone in and out of the water safely and making sure the kids were ok too. The kids also did a bubblemaker in Sea Bees' own resort, which is just around the corner from the dive shop. Palm Garden Resort was really lovely with a fabulous large pool, ideal for dive training as the deep part was over 3m. The same day they had an open water course in the resort but as the pool is quite large there was plenty of room for everyone. I know other training pools at dive schools but they are usually just a square pool for training in front of a shop, in and out and that's it. Here it's a different story as the resort is like an oasis with loads of palm trees and a lovely restaurant. The training day felt like a holiday! I'd highly recommend this place to anybody who is thinking of getting certified as they'll spend two days in the pool and it doesn't get more enjoyable than this place ;) All up, we had a really fantastic time, met very nice people - staff and other divers - had great dives, great training, great snorkeling - and can't wait to get back! Thanks so much Sea Bees for a great time :)

    (Translated by Google) We had fun and enjoyable dives with a professional team in pleasant diving spots. Whale shark turtle have seen countless types of fish, great corals. Certainly places to see and dive into. Thank you to the whole team who helped us (Original) Keyifli dalis noktalarinda profesyonel bir ekiple eglenceli ve keyifli dalislar yaptik.

    Just finished a 4 day dive trip with Sea Bees and it was outstanding. 15 dives in 4 days. I’m a senior(age) diver and Chris, my dive guide did a great job guiding me thru challenging currents . A very friendly, safe and well run dive shop. I highly recommend Sea Bees to anyone wanting to Dive Thailand. Thanks Chris for a wonderful experience.

    Visited SeaBees to get my Open Water Certification. Nelson was an amazing instructor. He was very patient and delivered the information in a way that you can remember it. Not only that, he explained why things were important, not just the info and move on. Everyone else there was very extremely helpful and friendly too. There are a lot of dive shops to chose from in Phuket, but SeaBees is the one to chose above all the others. They put safety where it needs to be and have very nice and maintained equipment for rentals. Add the people that work there on top of all of this and they are definitely the best, hands down.

    The best diving crew on Phuket. We had the best experience diving with these guys! Our instructor was Fon. She is such a lovely girl. Great briefings on board. She loves her job. She is passionate about diving. We booked the one day trip from Phuket to Phi Phi islands. Everything on board was great. Breakfast-lunch-dinner fruits and suits. The Excalibur is comfortable boat to travel. We rent their premium diving gear. It was in great condition which is great for diving in the Indian Ocean. Great crew!

    I and my wife dived with Sea Bees Diving at Koh Racha Noi and Racha Yai. We enjoyed the amazing underwater view and the memorable dive experience the staff brought us. It is absolutely a well-organized company that offers us punctual pick-up and deliver back, international gourmet breakfast, lunch, and afternoon tea. Their friendly and professional service impressed us a lot which promoted us to register another two more day trips with them to Koh Phi Phi Islands, Shark Point, and Anemone Reef. Every diving brings us a fabulous experience. I especially want to thank the dive-master Beam, Taew, Selina, and Num for their patience and knowledge that makes every dive safe, relaxing, and fun.

    (Translated by Google) Absolutely to be recommended, service, organization, boats, food everything just super great. When my son had problems with the pressure balance during the diving course, the boss personally organized something extra and then took the last dive himself. An exemplary team under absolutely good leadership. Thanks for the great and unforgettable days with you. (Original) Absolut zu empfehlen, Service, Organisation, Boote, Verpflegung alles einfach genial super. Als mein Sohn beim Tauchkurs Probleme mit dem Druckausgleich hatte, hat der Chef persönlich extra noch was organisiert und dann selbst den letzten Tauchgang abgenommen. Ein vorbildliches Team unter absolut guter Führung. Danke für die tollen unvergäßlichen Tage mit Euch.

    I recently completed the Open Water Diving course at Sea Bees. It was my first introduction to diving, and I was impressed at the professionalism of the company and the quality of the staff. My instructor George exuded a calm confidence and I immediately felt comfortable in the water under his instruction. Sea Bees have their own boat, so there is no fighting for position with other diving schools, and all the staff there were super friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend, particularly to those who are trying diving for the first time

    I dove with instructor/guide Daniel Kuskoy in the reef of Merlin Beach, south of Patong. One of my best dives so far. Daniel is very calm and methodical and know a lot about the local flora and fauna. A really great afternoon under the surface.

    (Translated by Google) Hi Guys, I spontaneously booked with Sea Bees at the office in Mai Khao in January 2019, was super advised and booked a day trip. The next morning, with another couple of my May Khao accommodation, I was picked up promptly by a driver in an air-conditioned van and driven to Chalong base. From there we went to the Chalong Pier where we embarked on the Sea Bees boat to get to the dive sites to Koh Phi Phi. The instruction on board is very commendable, you get all the important things explained. The boat itself is very comfortably equipped. With the supply of food and drinks, breakfast, lunch, biscuits for coffee or tea with me no wish remains open and who likes beer and other spirits for self-payment. Just before the dive, a brief briefing on the process. The guides are all perfectly trained and always on hand with advice and have a real eye on you and the equipment. Even the inexperienced divers can feel like the pros after that. You can really feel that value is placed on safety and professionalism. The dive center itself is one of the most beautiful and lovingly decorated in every detail I have ever seen. Who dives with Sea Bees, who dives in the 1st class !!! Thank you for this wonderful trip and I'm sure I'll be back in the pleasure to dive with you. Greetings Michael (Original) Hallo Leute, ich hätte im Januar 2019 spontan bei Sea Bees im Office in Mai Khao gebucht, wurde dort super beraten und eine Tagestour gebucht. Am nächsten morgen wurde ich mit einem anderem Paar von meiner Unterkunft Mai Khao pünktlich von einem Fahrer mit einem klimatisierten Van abgeholt und zur Base in Chalong gefahren. Von dort aus ging es dann weiter zum Chalong Pier wo wir dann auf das Sea Bees Boot Einschifften um zu den Tauchplätzen nach Koh Phi Phi zu gelangen. Die Einweisung an Bord ist sehr lobenswert, man bekommt alle wichtigen Sachen erklärt. Das Boot selbst ist sehr komfortabel ausgestattet. Bei der Versorgung mit Essen und Getränken, Frühstück, Mittagessen, Gebäck zum Kaffee oder Tee bleibt bei mir kein Wunsch offen und wer mag bekommt Bier und andere Spirituosen gegen Selbstzahlung. Dirkt vor dem Tauchgang noch eine kurze Einweisung zum Ablauf. Die Guides alle perfekt geschult und stehen immer mit Rat zur Seite und haben ein echtes Auge auf dich und die Ausrüstung. Selbst die unerfahrenen Taucher können sich hiernach fühlen wie die Profis. Man kann es wirklich spüren, das hier Wert auf Sicherheit und Professionalität gelegt wird. Die Tauchbase selbst ist eine der schönsten und bis ins Detail liebevoll eingerichtete die ich je gesehen habe. Wer mit Sea Bees taucht, der taucht in der 1. Klasse!!! Ich danke für diesen wunderschönen Ausflug und komme bestimmt wieder in das Vergnügen mit euch zu tauchen. Grüße Michael

    (Translated by Google) Excellent dive trip to Racha Yai in Phuket. Good equipment, very friendly and competent staff which also German speaks which is perfect for beginners as well as for us for diving. Me and my buddy had the diving instructor George who always stood by us with advice and support to the side and has accompanied us both above and under water perfectly. Would book again anytime! (Original) Hervorragender Tauchausflug nach Racha Yai in Phuket. Gute Ausrüstung, sehr freundliches und kompetentes Personal welches auch Deutsch spricht was gerade für Anfänger wie für uns perfekt zum Tauchen ist. Ich und mein Kumpel hatten den Tauchlehrer George der uns immer bestens mit Rat und Tat zur Seite stand und uns sowohl über als auch unter Wasser perfekt begleitet hat. Würde jederzeit wieder buchen!

    Excellent team to dive with. Strong focus on safety. As a former/rusty diver I was challenged in a great way to regain the important knowledge on the how-to's and what to remember to check and do before, during and after the dive.

    What a ridicules rude staff. We were picked up at the hotel and dropped off at a shabby place. The diving gear was all old and we were hurried to pick everything and leave. Our instructor didn't even introduce himself, he just rushed rushed rushed. We felt bad already starting the day. Then during the dives several safety items were not followed, it all felt unprofessional. Once back at the shop we were confronted with an invoice with surprise costs, after discussing the staff became very rude and laughed at us. All and all a very bad experience, I would not recommend to use this dive center. I won't use it again during my stay, happy to be on my way back to the hotel.

    Over 38 years of diving, I have seen a lot of operations across many countries. Sea Bees has hands down been the best I have ever experienced, a sentiment that seems to resonated with many others based on the reviews. It’s easy to fall in love with a dive shop if the weather is perfect and site happens to be lovely and populated with great fish during your dive. It’s not to say these things didn’t happen, they did. Rather, Sea Bees is great by design, from initial contact to departure from the parking lot. I had several questions before booking and had quick, friendly, and thoughtful answers that confirmed in my mind that I was making the right choice. Great directions led me to the shop (though they do offer flexible shuttle services). Once there I was welcomed in by a large, friendly, and professional team who made sure all of our needs and desires had been considered. We got a large group briefing over coffee and biscuits and then were whisked to the dive boat where my personal gear “magically” appeared all set up and ready to go. The Excalibur II deserves a lot of mention. This boat is awesome! Not only does the lower level support up to 20 simultaneous divers (maybe more), it has two more covered and enclosed levels (one a lounge, the other a bar/restaurant), plus great outdoor and covered lounging in front on comfy cushions. Rather than the sliced oranges and warm water I got used to in the Caribbean, I got to GORGE on three full and delicious meals as well as a fruit snack, plus plenty of reasonably priced beverages beyond the complimentary free and cold water. My dive master, Jenns, was great. He gave structured dive planning guidance up front that was geared to me and my dive buddy’s experience levels, not too much, not too little, just right. I saw this personal care demonstrated across the whole team so while I loved diving with Jenns I know this was not a fluke. Finally as we approached the harbor after a long and wonderful day the whole team came back together for a debrief (my first time doing this diving and so smart). If you find yourself in Phuket wondering how to spend a day or several or wanting to get certified or improve your training, check out Sea Bees, you’ll be glad you did.

    (Translated by Google) My first dive and from beginning to end everything was perfect: the family welcome of the whole team, the instruction of instructor Michael who accompanied me on the tour, the boat tour and crew, and of course the dive spot at a nearby rocky island. The coral reef was beautiful and in addition to several fish schools we have discovered many different sea creatures. Michael has been watching over me all the time. I felt totally safe and could concentrate completely on amazement and peering. Also on the dive were experienced divers who appreciated the trip as much as I did as a beginner. I can not wait to go back to Phuket and do the next dive with this great team. Many thanks for an unforgettable experience !!!! (Original) Mein erster Tauchgang und von Anfang bis Ende war alles perfekt: Das familiäre Willkommen des ganzen Teams, die Einweisung von Tauchlehrer Michael der mich auf der Tour begleitet hat, die Bootstour und Crew, und natürlich der Tauchspot an einer nahegelegenen Felseninsel. Das Korallenriff war wunderschön und neben mehreren Fischschulen haben wir viele unterschiedliche Meeresbewohner entdeckt. Michael hat die ganze Zeit auf mich aufgepasst. Ich habe mich total sicher gefühlt und konnte mich komplett aufs Staunen und Gucken konzentrieren. Mit auf dem Tauchgang waren auch erfahrene Taucher, die den Ausflug genauso sehr geschätzt haben wie ich als Anfänger. Ich kann’s kaum erwarten zurück nach Phuket zu reisen und den nächsten Tauchgang mit diesem tollen Team zu unternehmen. Vielen herzlichen Dank für ein unvergessliches Erlebnis!!!!

    We spend an awesome "Super Sunday" with Seabees, the package that includes 4 dives - the last one a night dive. Money well spend with a very very professional team. Organised, procedures well thought through and to the minute on time at drop sites. We were well looked after by Jan our guide. Advice, information and a physical hand of help available all the time. The softer touches like cookies, meals and liquid are all there. Lara from the office even made sure that my tongue in the cheek comment about losing out on my hotel breakfast bacon is replaced by perfect crispy bacon with breakfast on the boat. Thanks guys. Highly recommend.

    (Translated by Google) Extremely bureaucratic, there are better and cheaper alternatives in Phuket. (More friendly, more professional with online access to DiveSSI, less complicated) Because of an old routine procedure which has long since healed and causes no more problems at all, they insist on going to their doctor and leaving 80 eur ... (Original) Extrem bürokratisch, es gibt bessere und günstigere Alternativen in Phuket.

    Quite likely the most organised and well run dive operators I've come across in my many years of diving. From pick up at our hotel, onwards to the Excalibur, and the dives that followed, everything went on like clockwork. The ground and dive crew were constantly on hand to offer assistance, and were very friendly. A big hand to dive masters Fon Worarut and Dave for taking us to unique nooks and crannies at all dive sites, and pointing out some things that we might have easily overlooked. Their dedication and attitude in ensuring great diving experience for us was unparalleled.

    Would definitely go diving with Sea Bees again. Great staff. T was our dive guide and she was energetic and good with our group. The hot meals were great. The whole operation was seamless starting from when they picked us up at the hotel, through the equipment fitting, the dive and then back to the dock and to our hotel.

    First time scuba diving and it was amazing! The staff was so friendly and Dan, my diving instructor was great! I would recommend you take some sea sick medicine if you are prone to sea sickness because the island was quite far away. Overall amazing experience and highly recommend!!

    We booked a fun dive and discovery dive with Sea Bees and they went beyond expectations - safety and company. Our master diver was Jens and he gained our trust and confidence in the dive. He also made us comfortable. Very satisified with Sea Bees! Thank you for the fun and safe dive. Special mention to Alex for taking our photos underwater. Appreciate it.

  • 5/5 T D. 1 year ago on Google
    An exceptional team! 10/10 From the admin team managing my booking, my instructor Num, the boat guys (who were totally on top of their game) to the ladies serving delicious food and refreshments, everything was really very good. Very professional, safe, service oriented and friendly. The facilities on the boat were clean at all times, efficient and well maintained with various areas to chill out in between dives. A special thanks to Num, my instructor. I am a nervous diver who had not dived in a while and I felt very safe and comfortable with him. He ticks all the boxes of what makes a fantastic instructor - an amazing person, highly qualified and capable with a great sense of humor too. I was able to chat to some of the other instructors onboard in between dives and they all seemed very qualified with years of experience. Got a real sense of community. They are passionate about what they do and protecting the corals with zero complacency when it comes to safety of their customers. Day 1 was Refresher incl. 2 dives and Day 2 was 3 fun dives. Highly recommend Sea Bees!

    Best day trip diving experience I have ever had! The logistics and communication were flawless. Gear checkout and rental is extremely smooth and professional with the equipment clearly being well maintained and cared for (as a former military diver this is something I particularly appreciate!). The staff is helpful and personable while also very competent and professional. They made the experience very enjoyable. This includes both five leaders/instructors and the boat staff (captain, cook, deck hands, and bartenders). Food and drink were plentiful and very tasty too! Highly recommend this place!

    I was in Phuket for a couple of weeks and dived with Sea Bees. Their organization is superb. I was picked up every morning at my hotel and taken to the dive shop. There, all the equipment was ready. Since I brought most of my own, I only needed a BCD and a weight belt. I was fitted with a BCD which was put in a box together with my own equipment. Weights are provided on the boat. One instructor/divemaster is provide for up to 4 divers. The divemasters were professional, taking care of all the needs, making sure that each diver is fully equipped before the boat reaches the dive spot. During the dive, air is checked and when it is time, ascending is smooth and safety stop becomes a safety leisurely swim. Diving, with Sea Bees, becomes a real pleasure.

  • 5/5 Lise S. 3 years ago on Google
    I always recommended friends to go diving with Sea Bees, but didn’t have much time to join one of their trips myself. Until Covid. Now I’m even more enthusiastic about Sea Bees! Very professional (20 years or so in the biz), extremely friendly team and great service on board. The diving was awesome and I cannot wait to go again!

    (Translated by Google) We were as a group of 6 with Seabees around Phuket on the way. The day started a little bit uneaten in the back area of ​​the diving school, where the sunny faces of the crew took the sleep from our face and we were greeted radiantly in the diving day. After a short time together we went with the pickup to the pier where the rest of the guides and the Thai boat crew greeted us in a friendly and with a good temper. After a detailed boat briefing from our assigned (hammer deeply relaxed, but designed for safety and fun) guides then went off to sea to the dive spots. To mention it by the way, from the morning depositing to the evening docking we were supplied by the Thai crew with super delicious food. The dive sites were chosen according to the weather conditions (current, wind and wave) in favor of the guests, which again gives a plus for security! Before jumping into the warm water there was a detailed briefing of the dive site by the group guide. Seabees provides a guide for a maximum of 4 divers, for 6 we had 2 guides and there were groups where there was even a 1: 1 care - so first class service! The dive sites were very varied and the dives, which depending on the level of training max. 30 meters and designed for 60 minutes were very beautiful and very colorful :-) Even though the number of divers on the boat varied between about 20 and 50 (with guides), one had the feeling of being alone with his group in the water, as the dive guides always looked for the best undisturbed way under water. Thanks again and for finding the extraordinary representative under water! At the end of the last dive, you can enjoy a leisurely "deco-piebald" at low prices for boat trips on the return trip and end the day with a romantic sunset at sea. At the end there is a final briefing on the boat for all, where even freshly baked divers are celebrated in the diving community. At the pier for the first time the guests were brought to the base and greeted with a "nice that you're back drink". The equipment takes care of the base and boat crew (this is even brought to us at the Palm Garden Resort). Thanks again to the entire crew of the base, the boat crew and the captain for the safe ride. A special thanks to our guides Raffaela, Maren and especially George for the great time above and under water - here, by listening and watching, even an experienced instructor can catch up on one or the other plus point for their own diving instructor life! THANK YOU AND WE WILL ALSO COME WITHOUT Whale shark AGAIN :-) (Original) Wir waren als 6er Gruppe mit Seabees rund um Phuket unterwegs. Der Tag startete noch etwas unausgeschlafen im hinteren Bereich der Tauchschule, wo uns sonnige Gesichter der Crew den Schlaf aus dem Gesicht nahmen und wir strahlend in den Tauchtag begrüßt wurden. Nach kurzem beisammen warten gings mit dem Pickup weiter zum Pier wo uns der Rest der Guids sowie die thailändische Bootscrew ebenso freundlich und mit goldigem Gemüt begrüßt haben. Nach einem ausführlichen Bootsbriefing von den uns zugeteilten (hammermäßig tiefenentspannten und jedoch auf Sicherheit ausgelegten und lustigen) Guides ging es dann ab auf See zu den Tauchspots. Um es nebenbei zu erwähnen, vom morgendlichen Ablegen bis zum abendlichen Anlegen wurden wir von der thailändischen Crew mit superleckerem Essen versorgt. Die Tauchplätze wurden je nach Wetterbedingungen (Strömung, Wind und Welle) zu gunsten der Gäste gewählt, was wieder einen Pluspunkt für Sicherheit gibt! Vor dem Sprung ins warme Nass gab es ein ausführliches Briefing des Tauchplatzes vom Gruppenguide. Seabees stellt einen Guide für maximal 4 Taucher zur Verfügung, zu 6 hatten wir 2 Guides und es gab Gruppen, wo es sogar eine 1:1 Betreuung gab - also Service erster Klasse! Die Tauchplätze waren sehr abwechslungsreich und die Tauchgänge, welche je nach Ausbildungsstufe max. 30 Meter und für 60 Minuten ausgelegt waren sehr schön und ganz schön bunt :-) Auch wenn die Anzahl der Taucher am Boot zwischen ca. 20 und 50 (mit Guides) variierte, hatte man stehts das Gefühl alleine mit seiner Gruppe im Wasser zu sein, da die Tauchguides immer den besten und ungestörtesten Weg unter Wasser suchten. Nochmals vielen Dank dafür und für das finden der außergewöhnlichen Vertreter unter Wasser! Am Ende des letzten Tauchgangs kann man bei gemütlichem Zusammensitzen sein gelobts "Dekobierchen" zu für Bootsverhältnissen noch günstigen Preisen bei der Rückfahrt genießen und den Tag bei romantischen Sonnenuntergang auf See ausklingen lassen. Am Ende gibt es für alle noch ein Abschlussbriefing am Boot, bei dem sogar frisch gebackene Taucher zelebriert in die Tauchergemeinde aufgenommen werden. Am Pier angelegt weden erstmals die Gäste zur Basis gebracht und mit einem "schön das ihr wieder da seid Getränk" begrüßt. Um die Ausrüstung kümmert sich netterweise die Basis- und Bootscrew (diese wird bei uns sogar bis zum Palm Garden Resort gebracht). Vielen Dank nochmal an die gesamte Crew der Basis, der Bootscrew und den Captain für die sicher Fahrt. Ein besonderer Dank gilt unseren Guides Raffaela, Maren und vor allem George für die schöne Zeit über und unter Wasser - hier kann sich alleine durchs zuhören und -schauen auch ein erfahrender Tauchlehrer noch den ein oder anderen Pluspunkt fürs eigene Tauchlehrerleben aufschnappen! DANKE UND WIR KOMMEN auch ohne Walhai gesehen zu haben WIEDER :-)

    Incredible diving and support Team, very thorough organization and overall high quality (of rental equipment, delicious food with variety of choice x 3 times,very comfortable boat) The best organization I have experienced so far. And even though it felt like a bit too pricy at the beginning, the overall quality is totally worth it. I Was lucky to have Chris as my instructor. He really took care of me, helped with the equipment, and supported when I struggled to equalize ( all 3 times:/). He is very knowledgable about the types of fish and it was real fun to go through the books to put the name to the fish we saw 😊 I booked fun Sunday (Phi Phi islands tour) but due to low season/ small group the original plan was changed and we went to 3 dives closer (Shark Point, Anemone and Koh Doc Mai). Honestly, didn't change the experience at all and I liked to have 3 dives. The total price was fairly adjusted. Overall, can't imagine better organization, execution and the Team. Thank you for the amazing experience, Sea Bees!

    Had a flawless experience, especially with our guide, Herbert - a very genuine and helpful diving veteran, who instilled in us his own passion for the craft! Would absolutely adventure with Sea Bees again in Phuket. They've set a very high bar for their company!

    Real good diving centre. My instructor Corinne was very helpful for my course and fun dives. She knew what I like and finding things together was fun. She was patient throughout the course ! I felt very comfortable under the water. In fact I was really worried before course. Different from other diving places, nice boat to similan islands ( not speed boat). Generally all staffs were friendly as well. Definitely recommending this place. :)

    Absolutely fantastic day of diving. It had been a while since my partner and I had been diving, but our instructor Michele was very patient and ensured that we were comfortable and safe at all times. We got to see some of the fabulous reefs and dive sites that Phuket has to offer. Well appointed, clean and spacious boat, top quality equipment, fantastic food and service. Definitely would recommend, we will be back!

    I had such an amazing time diving on the Genesis live aboard. I was nervous before I arrived, being an experienced diver, but as soon as I started chatting with Chris, my instructor I felt better. He was so patient and easy going that I felt very comfortable and fell in love with diving! Couldn't of asked for a better instructor to dive with. Also the food on the boat was awesome!

    Amazing liveaboard with guides Stefan, Chris, Tom on MV Genesis. Incredible dives with manta ray sightings and almost everything marine life has to show. This time i brought my family and everyone was happy and wants to return on board as fast as possible. Thanks!

    This month, I spent a total of nine days diving with Sea Bees, both day trips from Chalong and a trip on the liveaboard Marco Polo. I am very satisfied with my experience and can absolutely recommend them. Let’s start with the day trips. My guide (Jörg) was very nice. He explained a lot, but also not too much. He helped out when needed and was aware of what I wanted when we were underwater. The boat (Excalibur) was very well equiped and the itineraries were nice. We started with breakfast on the way to the dive sites, did a dive when we arrived, got more (good) food during the surface intervals and while we were at the Phi Phi islands we stopped at the famous beach during the interval. There was enough space on the boat to relax and it was not too crowded. Briefings were good and we dove in small groups. Then the liveaboard. Dive master Maren has everything arranged very nicely and again I had a nice guide (Christian). Briefings were good and the atmosphere was great. It was my first time on a liveaboard and I am very impressed. We had to wake up quite early everyday, but this ensured that we had a lot of time during surface intervals. The dive sites (around Similan Islands and Richelieu Rock) were amazing and we saw a lot. We did four dives a day and this was great. Every dive was followed by a delicious meal.

    To the Guide: We did Racha Island, our guide was Luca. Amazing experience.. I did get anxious at first and didn’t want to let go of the rope. Luca recognized that and let me have a moment to collect myself, was smooth sailing thereafter. Thank you for the amazing experience for a first time diver. To the admin staff: the email asking for info that I received from them stated 6500THB +2000 for taxi..I did state in my email that I wanted pricing for two people. In bold letters this was the price hey gave me. NOWHERE did it state EACH. Everywhere else has prices listed for two people, or individuals. This had neither. I emailed this morning and phoned, because it was quite the shock to pay 15,000THB. when I phoned to request remediation or clarification for this issue; he laughed at me, said it was common sense, laughed again and called me a dumb Canadian. Really? REALLY? Uncalled for entirely. Based on this rude experience I will NEVER recommend Sea Bees nor will I return.

    I had a great experience with this dive company. They have their own personal boat which was amazing. It had all the things a diver needs and more. The food provided on the boat was fresh and delicious! The dive master Ricardo was wonderful and valued safety over anything which made me feel very comfortable diving since it’s been over a year since my last dive. If you want a professional and safe company to dive with in Phuket Thailand go with SeaBees Diving!

    Excellent all around experience. Was not uncomfortable with them in any way and went 2 days, 6 dives! Incredible!

    We had an amazing time! It was really beautiful water and we saw tons of sea life: sharks, eel, water snakes, puffer fish, Nemo, etc. our dive instructor, John was really great. Pauline and Thomas were a riot and a fun to hang out with also. Great people, knowledgable staff. Cannot recommend them enough.

  • 5/5 Christine W. 5 years ago on Google
    An excellent dive operation, one of the best I’ve come across in my 30 years of dive travel. I booked the day trip to Shark Point & Anemone Reef and requested a private guide so that I could go slow and take photos. My guide Maritte was amazing. The boat is very comfortable and there is plenty of space to relax between dives. I would definitely come again.

    Great first time dive in Phi Phi Islands with instructor Nina!

  • 5/5 Hubertus W. 5 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Professionally managed dive center with international staff team. The guides are very competent and knowledgeable (Nina you were great!). I always felt well informed and safe aboard the day boat. After the last dive, there is always a nice conversation between like-minded people at the boat bar - it was fun. We have already dived cheaper, but the bottom line is ok. Top is, that a guide will have a maximum of 4 guests. Should be especially for inexperienced divers a criterion. The Adamansee has not shown its best side in terms of visibility after Tropical Storm Pabuk, but of course this is force majeure. The daily boat debriefings are a matter of taste ;-). (Original) Professionell geführte Tauchbasis mit internationalem staff team. Die guides sind taucherisch absolut kompetent und ortserfahren (Nina du warst Spitze!). Ich fühlte mich stets gut informiert und sicher an Bord des Tagesboots. Nach dem letzten TG kommt an der Bootsbar auch immer ein nettes Gespräch unter Gleichgesinnten zu Stande - hat Spaß gemacht. Wir sind schon günstiger getaucht, unterm Strich aber ok. Top ist, dass auf einen Guide maximal 4 Gäste kommen. Sollte besonders für unerfahrene Taucher ein Kriterium sein. Die Adamansee hat sich nach Tropensturm Pabuk bzgl. Sichtweiten nicht von ihrer besten Seite gezeigt, aber das ist natürlich höhere Gewalt. Die täglichen Boots debriefings sind Geschmackssache ;-).

    We did a two tank trip to Shark Point and Anemone Reef. Shark point had some decent current to it so maybe not a good option for beginners. The dive operation was excellent. The whole process from hotel pick up to getting your gear and boat loading is very efficient. The boat is comfortable. The food served is quite good as well. The guide to diver ratio for our excursion was 1 guide per 2 divers. So a lot of individual attention. Our guide Fabio was fantastic, very knowledgeable, and friendly. The dives themselves were lackluster due to visibility issues stemming from the recent typhoon but that is outside anyone's control. One diver was stung by a lionfish. The response of the entire crew was organized and efficient. So they seem well equipped to handle mishaps. Definitely would recommend diving with this shop.

    My friend booked a dive for her and I via email before our trip to Thailand. In that email she specified that she wanted pricing for 2 people, and she was quoted ~6500THB for 2 dives, a guide, food/drink, and transfers from our hotel. Dive day came, and off we went. The dives, and our Guide Luca were absolutely perfect, and we received top notch service and treatment on the boat, Excalibur II. However at the end of the day, when we returned to the shop to pay, we were handed a bill for 15,000THB, more than double what she was quoted, and more than the amount of cash we were carrying. I put the charge on my Visa, just so we could get back to the hotel and double check that we hadn't misread any of the emails she had received. After rereading the emails, and confirming that we hadn't misread anything, she called Sea Bees the next morning to inquire about the gross difference. Whomever she spoke to laughed at her, called her a dumb Canadian, and laughed some more, saying it was common sense to double the price she was given. Had she not specifically asked for the price for 2 people, I might be inclined to agree with that statement, however, in this case, she requested the price for 2 people, and was given a price of ~6500THB. Due to the way she was treated on the phone, I will not be recommending Sea Bees to anyone, and I will not be using Sea Bees if and when I return to Thailand.

    Fantastic diving! Well organized. Meals and hotel pickup included. Top notch service! Had Robby for dive guide, he did amazing. No problems renting equipment, very nice gear. The entire crew at SEABEES works as a team and makes it great for the guest.
