    I had the pleasure of having Amorn as my instructor. He was great and has lots of experience and humor. You're in good hands. The organisation was good as well as they provide food, drinks and transportation to your residence. The dive experience was fenomenal and I saw a lot of beautifull, colourfull sea creatures and coral. I felt like an astronaut exploring an unseen world.

    My bf and I booked a "try scuba diving" experience, and it was a lot of fun. There were one other couple and another girl on the boat that day. The couple is doing a PADI course, the girl has done this for like 50 times already so she is super experienced. This was our first time diving, so it was also super cool to talk with them about their experience. 3 coaches went with us that day: Ame, Big and Ohm. Ame is obviously the patient, wise teacher type. He is fluent in English, and is very expressive and responsible. He makes sure all details are clear. Big is the funny one. He is so energetic and happy all the time and can jump around on the boat even when it's super bumpy. It's almost like a super power. And this is a special shout out to Ohm, our life guard in the ocean. He is friendly, patient, and kind. He takes super good pictures under the water for us and carried us around the whole time. I just have 2 advice for people who want to try this for the first time: 1. Take motion sickness pills one day before or at least 1 hour before!! If you don't know if you will get seasick, think if you get carsick and if you do, you'll get seasick for sure. I didn't take pills so I threw up three times. It was embarrassing and painful... You should also google how to throw up while scuba diving btw, because it could be dangerous. 2. Take some clothes for changing because your clothes could get wet and it will be cold after the dives if you don't have dry clothes. Take an extra towel as well if you can. Otherwise have fun!!! And sorry Ohm that i threw up on you in the sea...🙈🙈🙈

    We have been staying in Ao Nang for few days and after looking around for a decent scuba diving company who offered a good quality/price ratio and expert instructors, when we came across Scuba Expert (Krabi). We were a group of 6 people and we had a wonderful day! They offered pick up from our hotel and lunch/snacks. The diving experience was amazing, we saw a lot of fishes, corals and so on! The best we was were stingrays, turtles and moraines. Both instructors (Amon and Ohm) were amazing.. very patient and expert divers! With their initial teaching, they managed to break the ice with funny jokes and positive attitude, which made us feel safer (especially for beginners like us). The food provided was local and was amazing! We did plenty of boat tours that offered food on board but nothing like this company. They also included soft drinks, fruit and vegetarian/vegan options (to be asked in advance). We would definely recommended it! :)

    I've had a chance to do a 3-dive trip with Scuba Expert Krabi this week. As an AOWD diver I appreciate the possibility to see some of the best dive sites near Ao Nang. 2 of the dives included caverns / underwater tunnels and the divemasters did an excellent job. The atmosphere on the boat was great, the equipment very good. There was plenty of food (local snacks, tasty lunch) and drinks, even an iced coffee! The divemasters were very professional. Some highlights included: lots of seahorses, stingrays, a small bamboo shark, a snake, lionfish, barracuda, sea slugs, plenty of reef fish. The caverns were very interesting too. I can 100% recommend this dive center for all kinds of dives and will be happy to dive with them again

    I like diving. Even a bad dive can be a good day. But when it’s a good dive by a good crew then it’s a great dive. Amorn and his team made it easy so I could enjoy without any hassles. And the pictures they take along the way and shared at the end of the trip were brilliant.

    The guides are very professional, very attentive to divers and nature. They know good and not crowded places with a lot of marine life. The equipment is in very good condition. The management is very flexible and ready to help in various situations.

    Wouldn't dive with anybody else out of Krabi. The guides knew the best places to go day by day and made sure everybody had a good, safe time. They met with us the day before our planned dives to fit all our gear to ensure that everything was good before we even got to the boat. The boys all had unique and fun personalities that shone through while keeping safety first. Which is what SCUBA should be all about!

    The most surreal experience with expert diving. All the staff are amazing people with a great sense of humour. Amp explained everything so clearly and taught us a lot of new skills. We did the local island dive and I recommend this. Thank you expert dive for such a great day! We hope to return soon 😁

    In 2019 my boyfriend and I did dive with P’Aum and what a great service! We really felt safe diving with her and this year we came back again but unfortunately P’Aum couldn’t dive with us, so we instead got to dive with instructor P’Amon for the first time. He’s really funny and a great instructor. I got scared after 4yrs I haven’t dived but he calmed me down the whole dive. I highly recommend Scuba expert/krabi ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Great service, great people and GREAT EXPERIENCE!!!! Thank you so much 🥰

    Just came back from a 2 tank dive. Introduced my 14 year old daughter to Scuba for the first time. They provided a wonderful first dive experience for my daughter. Great service, on time, safe, updated/well maintained equipment and well organized. I would recommend this to anyone especially if you have never tried scuba before. They will take great care of you!!

    I and my husband were non swimmers and were doing scuba for the first time with Amorn. Hes super jolly and amaZing scuba instructor (also a great photographer :) ) We had some fear in our first dive however by our second dive we were super confident. We were offered lots of fruits, drink and food during the day. Our pickup and drop was as well included in the package. Worth every penny spent for the experience they offer. Highly recommended for all the newbies who want to try scuba.

    Honestly such a great trip. I’m already advanced and we did 2 dives. Really fun crew, pick up and drop off super easy. Lots of sea life, cool cave dive too. 10/10!

    Both me and my girlfriend completed our open water PADI course with these guys, would 100% recommend. Go directly to them for the best price, they will pick you up from your hotel in Ao Nang (and surrounding areas) feed you a great lunch and provide water and snacks all day. Thanks for great training and experience guys! Especially to Amp and Armorn who spoke brilliant English and were very patient and helpful. It was lovely to be diving with people who loved their job and wanted to be there as much as you did!

    I did my Padi Open Water course with Amorn, he was a great teacher, very attentive and took very good care of me. He’s also very patient, cool and calm with a very good sense of humour. Would recommend taking diving classes with him. Would definitely ask for him again if I’m around AoNang again.

    Fantastic scuba experience with Scuba Expert! They were very accommodating, even though I booked late.I did the 3 dives in Ao Nang & it was great. The included lunch was terrific. hope I can come back & dive here again soon.

  • 5/5 GG S. 1 year ago on Google
    Very recommend for Scuba learning and day trip. High experiences from staffs, approx. 15+ yrs of Scuba diving. Staffs are friendly and take good care of divers. If you are looking for Scuba in Krabi, this place will be the best choice 👍👍

  • 5/5 SrinivasaRao CH V. 4 years ago on Google
    Wonderful and skillful team. They train to take away the fear in you and have a wonderful and unforgettful scuba diving experience. We are novice divers who don't even know swimming.

    We went to check out 4 dive centres in Krabi Ao Nang area before deciding to go with Scuba Expert. Initially we were pretty sceptical about going with them as I did not manage to get many reviews for them online, turna out they have not quite set up their Google and TripAdvisor account. We decided to go with them either way as we are a big group with mix interest from snorkeling to discovery dive to Fun dives. Their pricing is the most reasonable compare to the rest located on the main strip of Ao Nang area. Their equipment are all very good quality. Oum is the Lady Dive Master who guided us for fun dives, she arranged for a separate guide for the Discovery divers and another guide for the snorkeling group of children. All of us can go out to the sea as a family on the same boat, hv our different program on same location. Fresh fruits, drinks and snacks and provided in between dives and lunch was provided too. I hope Oum and her team in Scuba Expert will soon get more exposure and clients that they so deserve with the wonderful and professional service. They have been wonderful with children as well. My son 11 years old have totally enjoyed his discovery dive with Gale. Highly recommend to go with them.

    Me and my girlfriend went on a 3-day course on scuba diving for Open Water. The first day we trained the basics in a swiming pool. Then we had a class for about one hour. The second and third day we went on a boat trip to Phi Phi Island. We went on serval dives on different places around the island. Our instructors Toto and Oumn where the best teachers in the world! They helped and learned us everything you need to know as a beginner! The diving experience was so beautiful and we could see all kinds of fish and corals. I would recomend diving at SCUBA Expert. They even picked us up at our hotel every morning and drove us home later. The provided breakfast and lunch was also exelent! A special thanks to Toto and Oumn who made this one of the best experience during our trip in Thailand! I hope to see you soon again!

    Came here for 3 fun dives around Ao Nang. Kru Amorn took us to beautiful dive sites around local island. He took very good care of us and managed to snap some underwater shots for us as well. Very impressive experience. Should check them out if you wanna go diving when you're in Ao Nang.

    Ohm and Amon are such amazing people! We feel like we made friends here. They helped us even with hotel recommendations, tourist recommendations and food. We had the best experience diving with them. They always keep it light but at the same time make sure you learn and have a great diving experience! Cannot recommend them enough.
