Aloha Diving™ Phuket – anything but mainstream

Aloha Diving™ Phuket – anything but mainstream

Welcome to Aloha Diving, your premier dive center nestled in the picturesque area of southern Phuket. Our family-operated dive center and PADI training facility offer a personalized experience, where you’re not just a number but a valued guest.

We’re passionate about exploring the Andaman Sea’s hidden treasures alongside you, tailored to your preferences. Our diverse range of offerings includes diving trips, scuba courses, snorkeling adventures, boat charter, yacht maintenance, and more.

At Aloha Diving, we’re committed to delivering premium quality and personalized adventures, backed by honest and conscientious guidance. Whether you’re planning your trip or on-site, count on our extensive experience and local knowledge to make your Phuket stay carefree and enjoyable. Your adventure begins here.

With uncompromising professionalism and consistent commitment we offer to our guests from all over the world incomparable, innovative premium quality scuba diving and water sports activities at the best possible price-performance ratio in Phuket.

We are dedicated to upgrading Phuket as a diving destination and to show the beauty of the Andaman Sea in its correct light.

To achieve this we consistently stick to our convictions and strategy. This means that we accommodate a limited number of participants, a maximum of 10 divers per diving excursion, on our boat which is available exclusively for our guests. This sets us apart from other diving centers without an own boat. They have to book their guests on collective boats with up to 50 places. Instead of insisting on a fixed schedule, we plan our scuba diving activities individually by focusing primarily on nature. For example, there are routes that are associated with an uncomfortably rough crossing when there are high waves. Or dive sites that are too challenging with strong currents but easy and with the best visibility on another day. This means that we take into account weather, wind, waves and tides a few days in advance and decide which dive site is best based on our experience. Further criteria that are included in the planning are variety, customer requests, diving requirements and avoiding other diving vessels at the same spot as much as possible. We specifically carry out 2 dives a day. They are extensive because there are no diving time requirements, the guided groups are small and put together according to the diving experience. Our diving trips are designed for quality, enjoyment and relaxation. So basically, we are „diving“ against mainstream in Phuket. Because usually 3 dives are offered with a tight daily schedule and little flexibility.

Thanks to many technical achievements, diving is nowadays accessible to almost everyone and just one leisure activity out of many. The more we wish that scuba diving is no longer degenerated into a consumer good, but rather that it is a deep passion connected with nature. Like the scuba diving pioneers back then, we enjoy the privilege of experiencing the mysterious and fascinating underwater world up close and adoring the enormous abundance of fish and the impressive biodiversity of the Andaman Sea over and over again. Decent with us and join us on this mission!

I did 3 dive days with Aloha and had a fantastic time on each. The staff is extremely friendly, professional, and organized. Each of the dive sites were beautiful, and the guides were very knowledgeable about local fauna. Huge shout out to Mona who was my guide all 3 days for her super fun and kind attitude, but really the whole crew was great. Highly recommend diving with Aloha!

Einfach nur WOW. Unvergessliche 3 Tage. Vielen Dank für die tolle Zeit und familäre Atmosphäre an Board. Ich kann es nur jedem empfehlen mit diesem Team raus zu fahren. Besonderen Dank an dich Günther, für das sichere Gefühl, während meiner Open Water Ausbildung. 5 Google-Sterne sind noch zu wenig. Ich komme irgendwann wieder zurück. Vielen Dank

Today was a fantastic day spent with an incredible group! We had our first dives since receiving our open water certification, and it was amazing. The dive site selection was impeccable, full of marine life and definitely not crowded.We found a highly competent and friendly team, which truly enhanced our experience. The atmosphere on the boat was warm and intimate, making it feel like we were diving with close friends.Camilla&Mike

An incredible dive experience! I got my advanced dive and nitrox certifications with Simon and the team. I always felt safe, and the Aloha team arranged 6 beautiful dives over three days. The food was wonderful, and the company was better. My favorite part was how intimate the dive boat was, unlike some of the massive factories we saw at some dive sites where divers were packed like sardines. I can’t recommend Aloha enough!

I completed my PADI open water with Aloha. Simon, our instructor, was excellent. He balanced learning and professionalism with a sense of humor throughout. The rest of the crew were also great and it was amazing to be on our own small boat with limited numbers. Thank you!

Tolles Team!Wir haben unseren Padi - Open Water Diving Kurs gemacht.Erstmal das wichtigste: es wird viel Wert auf Sicherheit gelegt, man muss vernünftig schwimmen können- das wird vorab überprüft!Tag 1 im Tauchpool war informativ und eine gute Grundlage für die darauffolgenden Tage.Tag 2 und 3 ging es raus, in unserem Fall nach Koh Racha Yai und Koh Racha Noi.Dort werden alle erlernten Fertigkeiten regelmäßig geübt, (Notaufstieg, Luftausfall unter Wasser, Tarierung etc.)An Bord befanden sich fertige und noch lernende Taucher von überall her, es herrschte ein fröhlicher Umgang und man kam gut ins Gespräch.Alles in allem eine tolle Erfahrung die wir jedem empfehlen können!Riesen Dankeschön an Gunther, Simon und Mona für diese schöne Erfahrung - wir werden definitiv weitermachen.

We did three days of diving with Aloha Diving and found that it was fantastic and a well run operation. Simon and Alice are expats from Switzerland and have been running the dive operation for 16 years in Phuket. The planned dive locations were selected to align with the tides to use any current in our favor. Simon ran the operation with the precision of a Swiss watch where we hit the water on cue to maximize the dives at each location.The dive boat was a custom conversion from a sturdy commercial fishing vessel and is nicely laid out for a comfortable dive experience. The max number of divers is limited to 12 divers in groups of four with staggered entries such that we hardly saw the other groups from our boat on each dive plan. This makes for a much nicer experience as opposed to other larger boats that disembark a legion of divers.The dive team (Simon, Alice and Mona) were very knowledgeable and keenly observant to point out all the sea life expected in the pre-dive brief as well as spotting the sea life during the dive.Everyday we had a delicious Thai lunch followed by local fresh fruit. The Thai mangoes were our favorite. They also had cold water, hot beverages and snacks onboard.The boat staff was outstanding and very helpful in sorting the gear and preparing for each dive. This was a well run operation and one that would get my highest recommendation if you are looking for a great dive experience here in Phuket. We would use Aloha diving again if we are back here to dive in the future.
