Waren im Dezember 19 dort und hatten einen wunderbaren Tauchausflug.

Szenari O.

Schon zum zweiten Mal war ich bei Aloha Diving mit an Board. Hier überzeugt einfach die Qualität, die dem Kunden geboten wird. Anstatt auf überfüllte Tauchbooten wird in kleinen Gruppen getaucht. Anstatt Massenabfertigung bekommt man individuelle Betreuung geboten. Die Crew und die Tauchlehrer*innen sind allesamt hochkompetent und stehen mit Rat und Tat zur Seite. Hier stimmt auch das Zwischenmenschliche. Aloha Diving unternimmt zwei Dives pro Tag - andere Unternehmen bieten drei an. Die Länge der Tauchgänge; der Fakt, dass das Boot jeweils praktisch alleine an den Tauchplätzen ist und die Kenntnis über die Tauchplätze kompensieren das jedoch mehr als übermässig.

Ich habe mich bei Aloha Diving für ein Schnuppertauchen angemeldet - und nun Lust auf mehr!Die Kommunikation mit Alice und Simon verlief stets reibungslos, auf Anfragen wurde prompt reagiert. Die Abholung am Hotel funktionierte wunderbar, die Betreuung auf dem Boot und im Wasser war astrein!Nochmals vielen Dank an euch!

Frode H.

Hyggelige, rolige og kunnskapsrike folk. Til tross for motorhavari på deres båt dagen før, var det ordnet med ny båt og dagen ble gjennomført på en bra måte. På selve dykkene var det god kunnskap til området, og her var det heller ingen tidsbegrensning. Dykket varte så lenge du hadde luft. Mine varte 64 og 76 minutter. De har også begrensinger på hvor mange som deltar på turene, slik at man ikke risikerer å stå i kø eller trokke på hverandre. Glatt 5 av 5.

Did the SSI Divemaster course with Alice and Simon from Aloha Diving. Daily boat feels like family with small groups. Help from boat crew is perfect and lunch food was amazing.They also do extended range and nitrox diving. We saw a lot of diving areas around Phuket. Nice and easy to go diving with them from Chalong Peer by boat. The organization of payment is easy and the team is well oganized. The boat is very clean and has sundeck on top.We saw a lot of dive sites around Phuket. King Cruiser wreck and shark points are one of the best I every saw.

Robert

Best dive centre I ever encountered! Highly recommend it.

Aloha is a very pleasant and experienced diving company. We did a one day dive trip and had a wonderful day. We had checked the reviews in advance and it was all correct: We were with a small group of only 7 (which is unique for diving companies in this area we learned); we went to dive spots on times no-one else was diving there and we felt very secure and well taken care of by the crew. Alice is very friendly and enthusiastic, during the dives she was in control gave us a very safe feeling and she showed us a lot (small) sealife. The good thing of Aloha is that they choose their dive spots on the day itself after checking the sea conditions, to make sure we don't have too much current or a crowded spot. (Our favourite of the day was the King Cruiser wreck with multiple schools of hundreds fish!). Also all equipment we rented (suit, fins, mask) were all in top condition and lunch was delicious. The boat itself is spacious enough for about 12 people, with an upperdeck to relax. So all in all a great experience and would definitely go again with Aloha when we are back in Phuket!

Caitlin L.

We had an excellent experience with Aloha! Our 12 year old son did his open water course, I joined him in the pool for my refresher, and then my husband joined us for two days of boat dives. Vicki was a wonderful instructor, patient and encouraging with our son which really helped him gain confidence and all the skills he needed. Aloha doesn't limit dives by time, so our first dive at a beautiful coral reef (6-8 meters mostly) was 50 minutes- lots of time to get skills done and explore. The private, smaller boat was definitely a perk. We went to a couple dive sites that the standard big boats, shared by most companies, don't go to and it was nice to have a small group. My husband usually gets motion sickness but the boat was definitely big enough to prevent that from being an issue. Food was great, they were accommodating of a request for vegan food, and the top deck (shaded) was ideal for enjoying the boat time. We'll be recommending Aloha to our friends in Chiang Mai!

Alexander H.

Simon and Alice were amazing. From the first contact until the last good bye. They were very friendly and gave us a lot of tipps beside our dives. Fhe experience on their boat and diving was very good. The size of people on the boat and during the dives were small and not growed like on other boats. They were really taking care of you and make you feel comfy.We would def. dive again with them when we are back in phuket.

Erwin J.

A perfect boutique dive schoolThe target of the owners: To provide you with an excellent day of diving! They did more than that. Max 12 divers, no more than 4 divers per guide, no limit on dive time, just on air and 0 deco-time, great lunch and excellent service on the boat.On top of that, I had several fantastic dive where we saw a beautiful underwater world with specials species like a seahorse, leopard shark, turtle's etc etc. Make sure you visit King Cruiser Wreck.

Marcin D.

We have spent awesome four days with AlohaDiving Center Team .All was perfect .Dive spots which Simon had checked before our arrival were not crowded and almost every time we were alone .Alice and Simon as divmasters were brilliant .They have showed us many underwater creatures. Scuba diving with them was very safe , they always respect rules.The crew members were very pleasant and helpful.The food which was served on board tasted very good, every day we have had something new .I strongly recommend this diving center and if I come back on Phuket, I’ll do scuba diving with Simon and his crew.

Daniela Z.

I was beautiful 3 days of diving with Aloha Diving, individual approach, no mega boat with 50 divers, excellent selection of divesites and great food. I recommend !!!

Franck D.

Entreprise très sympathique et jovial , aucune prise de tête , les gens ici sont là pour s’éclater de leur passion , la plongée Le DUO accompagné de Marc fonctionne à merveille , si je reviens à phuket je sais avec qui j’irais plonger !!Des millions de bises et à bientôt j’espère Carine et Franck

Daniel P.

Super Tauchlehrer bin froh, dass ich bei euch gelandet bin. Kleine Tauchgruppen, meist 1 zu 1 Betreuung. Und was am wichtigsten ist ein eigenes Boot was das ganze viel entspannter macht und keine Massenabfertigung wie bei anderen Booten. Auch die Ausrüstung war ausgezeichnet.

Osborne M.

I had a fantastic time diving with Aloha. Alice and Simon own and run the company on their own small boat so it felt like a much more hands on and personal experience than I imagine some other operators offer. We had 2 dives, one in the morning and afternoon with a delicious Thai lunch in between. I can't recommend them highly enough and will definitely return next time I'm in Phuket.

Hubert K.

Probably one of the best dive centres we have ever encountered, highly recommend! Professional and very knowledgeable guides gave us a true vip experience. We were diving for 4 days in small groups, very spacious boat compared to your usual dive boats, excellent food, helpfull staff, just to name a few. Absolute winner for me was choosing divesites according to the number of boats heading in which direction. Avoiding the crowd and adjusting to weather conditions gave both drivers and snorkelers best experience possible.Thank you Simon and thank you Aloha Diving.

Durch Zufall sind wir über Google Maps auf Aloha Diving gestoßen und waren über die 5,0 Sterne bei 186 Bewertungen überrascht. Wir wollten ursprünglich zu den Similan Islands haben uns dann aber zu einer Schnorcheltour nach Ko Raya überzeugen lassen. Uns war es wichtig die Touristenmassen an den typischen Hotspots auszulassen bzw. zu meiden. Das hat in der kleinen Gruppe wunderbar funktioniert. Das Team von Aloha Diving ist unglaublich lieb und freundlich und auch unser kleiner Sohn (5) hatte einen wundervollen Tag beim Schorcheln mit jede Menge Fischen und anderen Korallenbewohnern.Die Verpflegung auf dem Schiff war hervorragend! Wir können nun nachvollziehen, wie ein derart guter Bewertungsschnitt bei Google Maps erreicht werden kann.Wer nicht die typischen 08/15 Touren mit Massenabfertigung sucht, sondern ein exklusives und trotzdem bezahlbares Erlebnis auf dem Wasser sucht ist hier genau richtig! Am besten auf der Website nach der Telefonnummer oder E-Mail-Adresse suchen und Kontakt aufnehmen.Wir wünschen dem Team von Aloha Diving alles Gute und weiterhin viele wundervolle und erfolgreiche Jahre in Thailand!

Roger Z.

I had an amazing experience with Aloha. Simon, Alice and Tony were very friendly and professional. The pacing of the day was relaxed and there were no time limits so it was good for a novice diver like me (my first dive was 70 min). The boat is small so you can pick the instructors' brains and learn a ton from them.

Antuan m

There are so many schools out there, but there is only one that has the flexibility to choose the BEST place for that day and for the course you are doing...and only a few people on the boat not hundreds..100% professionals

danny D.

Great diving school. Earned my open water license here, and got to see some nice places. Ook Nederlandstalige les mogelijk!

Felix H.

Alice und Simon sind zwei ultra nette Tauchlehrer, ich hatte in der kleinen Gruppe sehr viel Spaß, Sie haben tolle Tauchplätze ausgewählt und sind super auf alle Fragen eingegangen. Ich kann Aloha Diving in Phuket wärmstens empfehlen:)

Keith S.

Hadn't been diving for over 10 years and needed to get some practice before joining a liveaboard in Khao Lak. Aloha Diving was the perfect choice as they are able to cater for smaller groups, have their own boat, and go the extra mile to ensure that you have a great diving experience. For example, to extend the group dive time, Alice shared her tank with me on every dive. She also took some brilliant underwater photographs which were made available for free. The food on the boat was also great. Enjoyed the first day trip so much that I booked a second trip for the next day! I can highly recommend this professional dive outfit and will definitely be using Aloha again in the future.

Tanur B.

Aloha diving gave us an unforgettable experience. They were super accommodating for our group honeymoon helping to facilitate our group of 17 all within a week’s notice. Divers got to experience amazing diving and snorkelers got to enjoy as well. We all could convene back on the boat. There was plenty of time built in for rest and play in the sea. The owners have built a remarkable operation and it was lovely to meet them and chat about their story and to see how invested and thoughtful they are about this working. Wish Aloha diving all the best. And highly recommend for a group travel experience in Phuket.

Kai W.

Aloha Diving accommodated our large group of 17 divers and snorkelers for a private boat trip. The scuba diving sites were world class and an amazing experience! Aloha staff were super friendly and flexible with our plans. Would recommend!

Katrin M.

I sent an email a couple of weeks before I was to arrive in Phuket and got a prompt and lovely response that answered all my questions.For my first excursion I was picked up at my accomodation and taken to the pier, where the boat was waiting. We got a tour of the boat first and could then relax while we were driving towards our diving spot. Alice and Simon are very knowledgeable and have great personalities. The day was very personal and the group little, so I felt very safe and taken good care of - also the equipment is in excellent condition.After our first dive, lunch was served, which was so good, I had to be careful not to eat too much.We returned around 4pm and were taken home again.I enjoyed it so much, that I booked another excursion two days later and did my Nitrox + Deep Diver Specialty.Thanks Alice and Simon, I will be back ;)

Tato L.

I went for fun diving and had a very nice time. Alice and Simon do a wonderful job here, the whole experience was flawless. Be aware that most schools/shops in Phuket don't own a boat, they will book you with a dive operator and off you go with other 50-70 divers. This is NOT the case with Aloha Diving, they own a pristine boat with gear in excellent conditions and small groups. This is a highly recommended owner run business that take excellent care of their customers.

We enjoyed this amazing scuba diving trip. This company uses smaller boats, almost felt like a private trip comparing to other boats which had around 50 people on them. Our diving instructor Simon was professional and helpful.

Beat D.

Best service, small groups, relaxed diving

Frank S.

Mein erster Tauchurlaub in Asien überhaupt fand jetzt im November 2019 statt. Weil Aloha ein eigenes Boot hat, auf dem sie nicht mehr als 12 Leute mitnehmen, fiel meine Wahl auf diese Basis. Ein Glückstreffer!!! Alice und Simon sind toll, nett und vor Allem perfekte Guides. Die briefings sind 120%ig. Jedes Detail wird erklärt, mögliche Besonderheiten klar gemacht. Die Tauchgänge sind super ruhig und insbesondere Alice mit ihren scharfen Augen findet auch die unscheinbarste Nacktschnecke oder kleinste Tanzgarnele und zeigt sie einem. Das Boot ist in Top Zustand, kein Luxusdampfer aber gross genug für 12 und gemütlich. Die Crew ist aufmerksam und immer zur Stelle, wenn grade mal irgendwas vergessen wurde. Long kocht lecker und frisches Obst gibt es als Nachtisch. Ich kann Aloha allerwärmstens empfehlen. Wer nicht in 50er Gruppen Blasen zählen will oder im Blaugrünen auf 25m herumdümpeln, für den ist Aloha der heiße Tipp!

Marco S.

Super Team! Klein und Familiär, kleine Gruppen. Einfach klasse!

flavio K.

Ich hatte eine super Zeit mit dem Team. Das Boot ist super die perfekte Grösse um sich wohl zu fühlen. Wir wurden rundum verwöhnt und auch das Essen war spitze. Genau das was man sich unter einem Perfekten Tauchausflug vorstellen kann.

James B.

Absolutely amazing experience with aloha diving . 4 of us did the try diving. Marc the dive master did everything he could to make sure we had the best time. He was really patient and catered to the different abilities in our group brilliantly. The food on the boat was really tasty and fresh, and everyone on board was super friendly. If I could give more than 5 stars I would!

Marco F.

Durch die guten Bewertungen und der Empfehlung eines Freundes habe ich 3 Tauchausflüge mit je zwei Tauchgängen gemacht. Simon und sein Team haben uns sehr gut beraten und uns an sehr schöne Tauchplätze geführt. Die Tage waren mit kleinen Gruppen und sehr guter Verpflegung, entspannen und eindrucksvoll. Aloha Diving empfehle ich wärmstens weiter und werde natürlich das nächste Mal wieder mit ihnen tauchen. Gruss Marco

holdener S.

Ich durfte bei Simon mein Open Water Zertifikat machen, man kann nur sagen es ist perfekt Gute beratund auf Deutsch (Schweizerdeutsch) und Englisch. Simon erklärt die Schritte sauber und verständlich wodurch ich die Prüfung auch auf anhieb geschafft habe. Danach Konnten wir noch 6 weitere Tauchgänge mit ihm durchführen. Zum Boot, ein gemütliches Tauchboot mit frischer Verpflegung an Board, welches Täglich gekocht wird. Die Ausrüstung ist neuwertig und in einem Top Zustand. Ich kann das Aloha Diving in Phuket nur wärmstens jedem empfehlen, wer eine gemütliche Atmosphäre mit wenig Personen und guter Beratung schätzt ist dort bestens aufgehoben. Gerne kommen wir nächstes Jahr zurück um noch weitere tolle Plätze in Phuket mit euch zu erkunden.Gruss Sven

Aloha, Respect to the guides, especially Alice (our guide above and underwater). Everything was arranged perfectly and we had so much fun on the boat and even more underwater. We went to the Racha island and did 3 dives. First we learned the basic stuff on board and then began to dive. Alice was really nice and patient with us. She did her job great and made us feel like real divers at the end. She also showed us many wonderful fish, clams and we even so one big stingray and an octapus. She is also super good at taking pictures so we got some wonderful pictures of us underwater ( see yourself ). Just amazing - not a single bad word about the trip. The transport is not an issue, you also get breakfast, lunch and snacks after diving. It was truly our the highlight of our 2 weeks trip and we definately want to do more diving after this. Have fun,Jakob and Liis

István B.

Aloha is a great diving center around Phuket. They are professional well equiped and knowledgeable about diving. Great equipment and clean boat with good food and well prepared and organized tours. We even got a lift from the center, would have been possible from the hotel as well. They are both very good instructors and made the diving fun, I can only recommend the school. - 5 stars

Janet S.

The diving was amazing. Alice, Simon and the Crew are doing a wonderful job. The Boat is nice with a great sun deck. The groups are small, that makes everything very comfortable. I did my advanced adventure certification with them. If you are looking for a good diving experience, you definitely should take the opportunity to go with them.

Pheel Z

Great experience with Aloha diving, nice time with a really professional and friendly crew. To recommend !

François-Xavier D.

I had an amazing time diving with Aloha Diving. The staff was very professionnal and careful, the equipment was good nad the diving spots we went to were not overcrowded. Thank you Alice and her team as well as Günther for this wonderful experience.

Nous avons eu la chance de réaliser un baptême de plongée avec Aloha diving. Tout était parfait. Un chauffeur est venu nous chercher à notre appartement pour nous conduire au port.Notre instructeur parlait parfaitement le français. Un autre instructeur s'occupait uniquement de notre fils de 12 ans. Lui aussi parlait très bien le français. Un 3e instructeur était présent pour les 2 autres personnes du groupe.Le bateau était très confortable et les mets servis très qualitatifs.Nous avons pu plonger 2 fois. Notre instructeur (belge) s'est adapté à notre rythme. Nous avons pu voir des fonds marins extraordinaires avec une grande variété de poissons et coraux. Notre fils a même aperçu une tortue. La rigueur, le professionnalisme, mais aussi la gentillesse de l'équipe et de l'équipage nous ont fait passer une journée inoubliable !!Un grand merci...très sincèrement.Catie

Florian A.

Ich bin total begeistert von diesem Team! Der ganze Tag hat so viel Spaß gemacht und behalte diesen in guten Erinnerungen! :)

As a foreigner in Thailand wanting to scuba dive and 10 years out of practice, I was pretty overwhelmed by the amount of options available. Prices were drastically different among locations, with hostels adding credence to certain outlets simply by virtue of including an advertisement for them. I heard of Aloha diving by way of complete accident- I was told at a bar that the patron knew Alice, so they called her up, and afterward we proceeded to chat. She was extraordinarily kind and honest. She told us that for maybe ten or twenty dollars less we could go to another diving outfit, find our own way to the boat, possibly get lunch, dive with fifty other people, and go to one or two sites. Our experience was completely different. We were picked up at our hostel and driven to the boat they owned, given a sumptuous breakfast with tea and coffee along with a refresher lesson on diving essentials, and then taken to the first diving spot. It was a very personal dive as there were only two other people on board alongside me and my friend, so we had a great deal of attention and care. We were subsequently served lunch and proceeded to the second dive site which was also an amazing experience. I have nothing but respect for Aloha and recommend it to everyone!

Elise C.

We're older and have physical limitations. We did a "try diving" adventure with Simon and crew. They enabled us from the start. We had help donning our gear, getting in and out of the water, and a really informative instruction. We dove once in the morning, had a wonderful lunch, dove in the afternoon. The one on one attention and small group size was perfect. I highly recommend any diver or snorkeler to dive with these guys. We will get certified at some point. Amazing and superb! trip with Aloha Diving was superb

Sudipta B.

What a lifetime experience. A big thanks to Simon and Alice for introducing us to a new world. We are really spellbound. Simon and Alice, you guys are excellent teacher. We would definitely like to join you again for our 2nd dive. A special thanks from my daughter Aishani to introducing her to the underwater world. Finally big thanks to Gunther for sharing his experience and guidance. Thanks to the whole Aloha Team.We are highly recommending Aloha Diving for the enthusiastic people.From,Sudipta BhowmikPrajnaparamita Das BairagyaAishani Bhowmik

ng siau H.

Definitely a 5 star experience!!! Alice and Simon are so kind! From the beginning meeting Simon with the group, i feel welcome and comfortable all the time. Alice as my dive instructor, she really give me a very clear briefing and help me review some basic knowledge! When we are going to decending from the surface, she keep her decending speed same as me, which i never been experience this before any fun dive. They own their private boat, so they can brought us to private dive site which no one there!!! this is what i didnt expect, a private and rich creature dive site! I feel so lucky to find them and choosing them. If you are reading this, believe me, CHOOSE THEM!!

Christoph V.

Meine Frau und ich haben im September mit Aloha Diving eine Tauch-/Schnorchelausfahrt gemacht. Alice und Simon gehen total auf die Wünsche der Kunden ein und schauen, dass jeder auf seine Kosten kommt, dabei wird die Sicherheit nie aus den Augen gelassen. Alle an Bord waren sehr freundlich und professionell, weswegen wir die Tauchbase absolut weiterempfehlen können!Auch die Tauchgruppen & Größe der Gesamtgruppe ist im Vergleich zu anderen Tauchbases in der Gegend viel kleiner, es aus meiner Sicht noch viel angenehmer und individueller macht. 5 Sterne =)

Joseph T.

WORTH IT! DO NOT MISS OUT!In Phuket diving is an industry - as a result divers are traded like a commodity sold on massive boats not operated by the people selling you the diving experience. Not so with Simon and Alice - they have decided to be different and invest heavily in offering something unique, special and worth the price. They have really professionally restored their boat and it's the best diving boat I have been on. Food was plentiful and great, dive was professionally and passionately run and we got free photos too. Definitely book here.

Roya K.

Fantastic dive centre. Alice and Simon went above and beyond to make this diving experience the best we've ever had. Couldn't have asked for more. Would highly recommend.

Britnee P.

I feel so lucky that I wound up booking with Aloha! The experience was incredible. I felt well looked after, not ever rushed, and like I was hanging out with friends on their boat rather than a commercial dive experience. Highly, highly recommend!!

Felix F.

Es ist so unglaublich. Wir hatten die einmalige Gelegenheit, an der ersten offiziellen Tauchreise mit Alohas neuem Boot teilzunehmen. Was für ein Unterschied zu den Massentauchausflügen auf den herkömmlichen Schiffen in der Vergangenheit.Dies gibt nicht nur die volle Flexibilität für einzigartige Tauchgänge, sondern hat und auch das Gefühl gegeben, in einer grossen Familie aufgenommen zu sein. Mit anderen Worten, wir konnten Alice und Simon 100% auf ihre einzigartige, ruhige, lustige, freundliche, professionelle und sichere Art und Weise genießen.Wir waren in Höhlen, Wracks und machten Strömungstauchgänge. ... und ja, wir haben auch Seepferdchen gefunden.Entgegen dem, was zu Hause gesagt wurde, haben wir eine fischreiche, wunderbar bunte Unterwasserwelt gesehen. Wir waren überrascht von den schönen Orten rund um Phuket, die uns natürlich umso mehr begeisterten.Sicher auch wegen Alices Auswahl an Tauchplätzen.Vielen Dank an Alice und Simon ... und die liebenswürdige lokale Bootsbesatzung für diese wundervollen Tage.Wir haben jetzt beschlossen, jedes Jahr zu kommen.

Sven M.

Top Basis, absolute Profis, Preis / Leistung i.O. Jederzeit zu Empfehlen. MfG Bäck

We're a family of seasoned divers, and this is our first time in Thailand. My expectations were contained, because I thought this beautiful country is not exactly world class in terms of diving. I was WRONG!Alice, the lovely lady who runs the shop, has this uncanny gift to turn almost every dive into something unique. Seahorse for example: I see one every 300 dives, and this is my second. Assuming 50 USD for one dive, that's a 15000 USD value! She also set up a drag race between me and a black tip reef shark; I crossed the finishing line in P2, not bad for a human :).All in all, these guys have my warmest recommendation. Heil Switzerland!

Mohammad A.

It was an extremely great experience, cery organized dive center, and they do care about their customers perfectly. Their diving gear is excellent and organized, much better than orher companies in terms of details and type of gear they are providing. Also, they know the area verry well which is really needed to be safe and to see the most out of the diving sites.

Yong Quan T.

I returned to Aloha after having dived with them a few years prior and had another amazing experience with them. Alice is an amazing dive master who would gladly tailor the dive to your skill level and take beautiful photos underwater.

carolina S.

Wir haben von meiner Schwester die Adresse von Aloha Diving erhalten. Unsere kleine Gruppe hat sich für einen Schnuppertauch-/ Schnorchelausflug entschieden und es hat sich wirklich 100% gelohnt. Alice und Marc haben uns perfekt betreut. Unsere Kids waren begeistert nach ihren zwei Tauchgängen und auch wir haben unsere Schnorchelgänge genossen. Wir können Aloha Diving nur weiter empfehlen. Sehr professionell alles erklärt! Sehr gerne wieder.

Margit S.

Meine Mutter und ich hatten im März dieses Jahres zwei tolle Ausflüge mit dem Team von Aloha Diving. Sehr kleine Gruppe, individuelle Betreuung, fachlich absolut top und super freundlich! Können wir nur weiter empfehlen :)

Julien A.

Very nice, serious and knowledgeable people.

Josip B.

Simon war ein super Tauchlehrer, mir wurde alles klar und verständlich erklärt. Fühlte mich immer sicher während den Tauchgängen.

Antonino Emanuele B.

Wir haben insgesamt drei Tage mit Aloha diving verbracht. Es hat Riesen Spaß gemacht und die Eigentümer sind uns von Anfang an entgegen gekommen. Simon war sehr freundlich bei der Beratung und hat uns alle Infos die wir brauchten gegeben. Alice hat uns vor Ort betreut und sich um das organisatorische gekümmert. Mark der Tauchlehrer der uns auf dem Boot und Unterwasser begleitet hat zeigte sich auch sehr bemüht und professionell. Einfach nur weiter so :) Kann man nur empfehlen.

Jörg W.

Ich habe mein Advanced Open Water hier gemacht und kann Aloha Diving nur empfehlen.Alice und Simon vermitteln einen Sicherheit und sind für alle fragen offen. Ich habe mich sehr wohl gefühlt, bei allen meinen Tauchgängen und werde bestimmt wieder mit ihnen tauchen gehen

Job K.

Sind durch Zufall auf die Basis gestoßen und es war ein echter Glücksgriff. Alle waren super freundlich die Organisation war top und die Ausrüstung in sehr gutem Zustand. Sehr schön Tauchgänge auch wenn das Basis eigene Boot leider in der Werft lag. Super gerne wieder.

1ste keer duiken voor mijn vriendin (open water course). Instructeur is zeer rustig en behulpzaam. Legt altijd alles zorgvuldig uit en forceert je nooit. Echt een prachtige ervaring. Zeker aan te raden!!! Wij komen zeker terug!!

Thomas R.

Ana J.

Everyone said go to Thailand and do the diving and that's exactly what we did. My husband booked an Open Water Course with Aloha Diving and he was so exited and I had my doubts if I can do this or not. As expected my husband did alright and did almost everything from first try and I struggled with few skills. I have to say without Simon, our instructor I wouldn't be able to do it. He was so patient and chilled, controlling the situation at all times, and helping me to overcome my fears at my own paste. I would definitely recommend Aloha Diving for all underwater activities no matter which diving level you are and Simon as the best instructor for all girls out there who are overthinkers and have doubts about venturing into open waters. Thank you Aloha Diving and Simon, keep in touch!

Romana M.

Dies ist die erste Rezension die ich jemals schreibe, aber die ist mir ein Anliegen. Alice und Simon machen ihren Job PERFEKT!!!! 100 Punkte in jedem Bereich. Ich haben den Open Water Kurse bei Ihnen gemacht.Die Abwicklung vom Erstkontakt: Alle meine Fragen PROMPT, PROFESSIONELL und super FREUNDLICH beantwortet, obwohl ich meine Planung extrem kurzfristig angelegt hatte. Ich wurde super beraten bei der Auswahl des Hotels, das haben die beiden ebenfalls gleich organisiert und ich wurde vor Ort herzlich empfangen.Marc, ist der perfekte Tauchlehrer, geduldig und super professionell.Das Tauschboot ist SPITZE. Bequem, sauber, alles an Bord ist TOP ORGANISIERT, die Crew immer freundlich. Die Abholung vom Hotel hat jeden Tag super geklappt. Die Tauschgänge mit Marc, Alice und Simon waren einfach genial.Ich habe mich so perfekt aufgehoben und herzlich angenommen gefühlt, als wäre ich bei Freunden angekommen.Diese beiden lieben Ihren Job und jeder der seine Tauschausbildung bei Ihnen macht oder Tauchgänge mit diesem Team unternimmt hat die perfekte Wahl getroffen.Vielen DANK nochmals für diese tolle Erfahrung und das perfekte Rundherum!!!!

Trescalini

Fantastic experience, couldn't recommend more. Three of us signed up for the Open Water Diver course, 2 beach dives and 2 boat dives. We were lucky to have a super relaxed instructor and another trainee instructor to ourselves, which particularly helped ease me when I had a mini panic attack on first entry in the beach dive. The equipment seemed state of the art, from the deep container pool at the training centre to the wetsuits, regulators, diving computers etc. And we got amazing photos in the mix! Seriously above and beyond what other diving centers appear to offer, and a really high bar to beat for our future dives!

K F.

Absolutely the best drive center to book. Great company, great boat and great crew. Only the best dive spots. Highly recomend.

Jason L.

Awesome experience turning into aquaman

joanna F.

We spent perfect time with Aloha. Organization was perfect, safety on highest level, respect for nature and all in friendly, relaxed atmosphere. If you want to avoid crowds, mess typical for Phuket - go to boutique dive center Aloha.I can recommend Aloha for all who want to start underwater adventure and as well for all certified divers. For people who are looking for courses Aloha is probably best option on Phuket. Their training experience and intimate atmospere are guarranty for best results. Regarding experienced divers that great advantge is that divers are in small groups according their skills. We are certified and we had each dive over 70 minutes. Alice and Simon who are owners of Aloha, share not only beauty of underwater but also brings Thai culture closer, advise best local accomodation or dining. Technical skills and courtesy of Simon saved my dives. In his tiny free time he fixed my private broken equipment. Aloha is unique in scale of Thailand and maybe even worldwide. Exceptional involvemet and big hearts. Thank you for beautiful time together!We miss you and looking forward to be back!

Jörg video L.

Danke an Alice und Simon für diesen tollen TAUCHURLAUB. Super Kommunikation vorab mit vielen Infos. SEHR freundliche Begrüßung am PIER und grossartige Betreuung an Bord.Besser geht nicht.Auf ein baldiges Wiedersehen.

TOPIhr seid einfach klasse, weiter so.Im April den OWD dort gemacht, letzte Woche kurzfristig vorbeigeschaut und wir hatten echt geile Tauchgänge zusammen.Vielen Dank dafür.Es lohnt sich, für Anfänger, welche die nur reinschnuppern möchten und alle Diver ob jung oder alt.Der kleine geile Kahn gibt zudem ein ganz besonderes familäres feeling welches ich persönlich sehr schätze.Im Vergleich zum massenbusiness sonst in chalong eine wahre Oase der Entspannung. Es steht einfach das tauchen und der Spaß daran im Vordergrund.Liebe GrüßeFrank

I just did 2 day trips with Aloha Diving and it was simply perfect. Thank you! To be more precise: The communication with Alice and Simon (owner of Aloha Diving) prior to the dives was easy and both were very responsive. During the day trips, which they do in corporation with another company, everything was well organized, they have good rental equipment and most important safety matters for them! To conclude: I can highly recommend Aloha Diving.

Vivian L.

I had such a blast! Sweet people especially Alice and Chock! Thanks to them, I had one of the most life changing experiences I've ever had. I came to my dream place to dive and honestly, it was better than expected!

Ich habe bei Aloha meinen Open Water Tauchschein gemacht. Die beste Entscheidung, die ich treffen konnte! Deutschsprachige, sehr kompetente Tauchlehrer und eine entspannte, familiäre Atmosphäre:)Für alle zu empfehlen, die den großen, überfüllten Tauchbooten aus dem Weg gehen wollen...Danke Simon&Alice!

Hervorragendes Erlebnis, freundliches Team und hammer locations.

Amazing diving in Phuket! Small group, no more than 15 people. Simon had great communication and very responsive from first point of contact. Many personal touches in customer service. As I was diving solo and was fairly new, I was assigned a dive master, Marc, to dive one on one with. Mark was very patient and educational along the way. I highly recommend this group. They are more concerned with enjoying the dive and customer service rather than overcrowding and rushing through to maximize their earning potential. They also were conscious of my vegetarian diet and were able to accommodate when the included lunch was served. They will not disappoint!

Good company and nice owners. Great fun tank, I wanna try course here.

First time to Phuket and decided to do my open water course. There are so many diving schools in Phuket and spoilt for choice but very glad I had chosen Aloha! My instructor was Marc. He is a very experienced, patient and knowledgeable instructor who gave me a lot of diving tips and assurance and always ensured safety first. Even though it was a course with exams involved, it didn't feel stressful and instead it was a relaxing and leisure experience for me. I knew I was in good hands. Thank you Marc, Alice and Simon for the warm hospitality and laughter on board. No regret spending a bulk of my holiday on diving as it was the highlight and most enjoyable activity of my trip. Beautiful dive sites, fun and friendly crews and fellow divers. Will definitely be back for fun dives in the future! Thank you for the beautifully taken pictures too! Great to have them as my memories. Happy to return home as a certified Open Water Diver with Aloha and the journey of the beautiful underwater begins!

Found this place on Travel + Leisure magazine. What was supposed to be a three day course turned into 6 and I cancelled my other plans just to keep diving with Simon and Alice. These two have a real passion for diving, and you can feel it with the detail and care they take to ensure your dive experience is top notch in every way. Patient, kind, understanding, reassuring, challenging, yet encouraging, and very hospitable. If you’re learning to dive, brushing up, or just want a great guide these are your people. Small intimate boat, great crew, excellent experience all around. I would give it a million stars if I could!

Ich war mit meinen beiden Söhnen auf der Suche nach einer Tauchstation „vor Ort“. Rein zufällig haben wir „Aloha Diving“ auf Ra Wai gesehen und uns dort erkundigt. Der erste Kontakt mit Alice war sofort sehr persönlich und familiär. All unsere Wünsche (nur jeden zweiten Tag eine Tauchfahrt; Transport vom Hotel zum Tauchboot und retour; Rabatt bei drei Personen) wurden sofort erfüllt.Jeden Morgen wurden wir vom Hotel in Nai Harn zum Hafen in Chalong abgeholt, wo bereits das Tauchboot auf uns wartete. Es gehört „Klaus“, der bereits über 40 Jahre in Thailand lebt und mit seinen 78 Jahren noch täglich (ohne Anzug!) taucht. Das Boot ist relativ klein – wir waren maximal 20 Personen (incl. Crew) an Bord. Ich fand das sehr angenehm, da dadurch eine persönliche Atmosphäre herrschte, die sich dadurch auszeichnete, dass jeder jeden kannte und auch in Kontakt kam (auf Deutsch oder auf Englisch). Wir wurden alle Tauchgänge (!) vom gleichen Guide - Simon - begleitet und die Tauchgruppe änderte sich die ganze Zeit über nicht. Neue Taucher*innen wurden von anderen Guides geführt. Diese Kontinuität hat mir sehr gefallen.Nach unserer letzten Tauchfahrt übernahmen Alice und Simon unser Equipment, wuschen es auf der Tauchbasis in Ra Wai aus, stellten es in den Trockenraum, um uns unsere getrockneten und gewaschenen Anzüge am darauffolgenden Abend zum Hotel zu liefern. Was will man mehr?Summa summarum waren wir äußerst zufrieden. Sollten wir noch einmal nach Thailand kommen, würden wir uns wieder bei „Aloha Diving“ anmelden.

Maren P.

We just had two dives with aloha diving but these were just amazing. The team was great, professional and relaxed. Comfortable boat and just a small sized group. We loved that there was no fixed schedule so the divespots could be choosen spontaneous.And we saw a whaleshark!!!

Graf D.

Simons Betreuung während des Rebreather-Kurses, den Aurelio und ich machten, ist excellent! Auch bei der anschliessenden 2-Tages-Safari in den Südosten von Phuket achtete Simon auf unsere Sicherheit und Handgriffe vor, während und nach dem Tauchgang. Alice's Humor und Können beim Schnuppertauchen für Glenn ist vollkommen gelungen, Glenn hat den Tauchvirus!Danke Euch beiden!

Peter H.

Die TauchgängeIch genoss perfekte Dives, mit der zuverlässigsten und kompetentesten Tauchpartnerin, die ich jemals hatte:• Höhlentauchen • Wracktauchen • Motorrad "fahren"• Kleine Fische • Grosse Fische • Tolle Unterwasser-FaunaDie Fotos wurden übrigens alle von Alice geschossen – irgendwie hat sie einfach ein Händchen für tolle Shots – und für Tauch-Wiedereinsteiger wie mich!Die Tauchbasis• Aloha Divers Phuket (Rawai) ist die Top-Dive-Base in Thailand.• Perfektes, neuwertiges Equipment• Die Tauchlehrer sind wahre Profis - die besten und verantwortungsvollsten, die ich weltweit kennengelernt habe.• Die jeweiligen Tauchtiefen waren 19.5 und 25 Meter – also immer im absolut sicheren Bereich.• Egal über wie viel Taucherfahrung du verfügst: Solltest du das Privileg haben, mit Alice zu tauchen, nimm alle Tipps und Anweisungen von Alice ernst und verhalte dich entsprechend. Sie ist ein Top-Lead/Guide und zeigt dir die Andamanensee, unter welchen Bedingungen auch immer, von der schönsten Seite.Ganz herzlichen Dank Alice! Es war einfach nur genial! Bin jederzeit dein Wing …Pitsch

When I am visiting Phuket I always end up diving with Aloha in Rawai because the company provides me with quality diving in a relaxed way. They understand that not everybody wants to be on the big boats, crammed with tourists, visiting the busy dive spots. Our last trip was on board the Poseidon. This boat can easily fit 15 to 20 divers but we were only a small group which was fantastic. We had all the time and space for laid-back diving and guess what? We discovered a new boat wreck! I definitely recommend this trip. Next I will be taking the 3 day trip to Phi Phi. I cant wait! 😊

Wir hatten nur einmal das Vergnügen mit Alpha Diving zu tauchen.Ich muss sagen, alles war super.Zuerst waren wir am dem Tauchshop Nähe Rawei Beach. Dort haben sich Simon und Alice sehr viel Zeit genommen und uns alles erklärt bevor wir den Tauchtag buchten. Auch haben sie uns Hinweise das am King Cruiser je nach Tag die Sicht gut oder auch sehr schlecht sein kann. Aber wir hatten sehr viel Glück. Nur sehr leichte Strömung und Sicht von der Oberfläche zum Wrack. Das Wrack selbst ist sehr schön bewachsen mit sehr vielen Fischschwärmen und hatten einen sehr schönen Tauchgang dort.Der zweite Tauchgang an Stark Point war am Anfang durchwachsen, dann aber beim Auftauchen ein riesiger Schwarm von Yellow Snaper. Am dritten Tauchgang am Koh Doc Mai hat uns Simon empfohlen nicht wie alle vom Tauchboot östlich der Insel zu tauchen sondern diese westlich zu umrunden. Wir haben hier sehr viel gesehen. Baracuda Schwarm, Lionfische, Steinfische usw.Der ganze Tag war super, da wir auch keinen Wellengang hatten. Auch muss ich Simon sehr loben, rundum Betreuung, exakte Einweisung vor jeden Tauchgang mit Fotos und unter Wasser viel gefunden für Fotos und Videos.Leider war das eigene Tauchboot für maximal 15 Taucher momentan auf Trockendog, da müssten wir auf ein großes Boot ausweichen. Aber trotz voll ausgebucht war immer Platz vorhanden, und das Essen an Bord war sehr gut und die Crew war immer sehr bemüht.Ich kann Aloha Diving 100% weiter empfehlen. Ich weiß wovon ich spreche da ich schon seit 33 Jahren tauche und schon vieles erlebt habe.Harry

Amir G.

Wir haben ein Schnuppertauchen gebucht, es war wirklich toll. Es hat alles perfekt funktioniert, weniger bürokratisch als die Konkurrenz und beim Preis war echt alles dabei. Tauchlehrer war richtig kompetent und freundlich. Wer in phuket tauchen möchte, den kann ich aloha diving nur empfehlen.

××× danke, danke, danke ×××+ Danke für den tollen Tauchunterricht+ Danke dafür das Euer Lerngegenstand immer passgenau zu meiner Erfahrung war.+ Danke für die angenehme Lernatmosphäre + Danke für die vielen Hilfestellungen und dass nie eine Frage zu viel war.Aloha Diving mit Simon und Alice ist absolut und uneingeschränkt zu Empfehlen. Von der ersten Minute an bestand eine "WOHLFÜHLATMOSPHÄRE" Durch Simons Anleitungen und Organisation (insbesondere auf dem Tauchboot) fühlte ich mich immer "einen Schritt voraus und niemals allein gelassen.Die Betreuung von Alice ging ebenfalls weit über das was man erwartet hinaus. Nochmals danke hierfür an Euch 🤗👍👍👍Note: 1+ 😃

Arne Z.

Ich habe meinen AOWD an zwei Tage bei Alice und Simon absolviert. Beide Tage waren perfekt organisiert, von der Abholung bis zum Ablauf auf dem Tauchboot.Die Ausrüstung war 1A in Schuss und die Betreuung durch Simon als Tauchlehrer war professionell und routiniert.Jederzeit wieder, vielen Dank für zwei wunderbare Tauchtage!!!

Simon B.

Amazing place, Instructor and experience! A definite address if you are looking to learn how to dive or are already an experienced diver. Alice was very patient, friendly, knowledgeable and downright lovely to dive with. 100% recommendation for diving in Phuket.

Had an awesome dive course with Aloha Diving. I was there, to pursue 4 SSI speciality courses and it went out really very well. These guys are very proffesional and they do know their job. Simon is a very great dive instructor and is calm, composed and very supportive. He made my dives a memorable experience.

pascal W.

We’ve never thought that diving would be that amazing. We were glad to make this experience at Aloha diving. They were very professional and explained to us everything very well which makes us feel save under water. Also their tank is very beautiful! We’ve had an amazing trip and diving tour as well. We’ve learned a lot! If we ever go back to Pukhet we definitely come back visit them!

Désirée H.

Alice und Simon beraten kompetent, sind um das Wohl ihrer Kunden besorgt und setzen alles daran, das Taucherlebnis auf Phuket unvergesslich zu machen. Wir werden wiederkommen!

Ich durfte von Mitte Dezember 17 bis Mitte Januar 18 mit dem Aloha Team 5 grossartige Wochen verbringen.... In dieser Zeit konnte ich die SSI Kurse Wreck Diving, Science of Diving und Dive Guide besuchen und abschliessen, sowie einige wunderbare Fun Dives geniessen. Aloha Diving besitzt eine tolle Infrastruktur und ein geniales Team!!! Vielen herzlichen Dank! Alice, Simon, Marc und NathanWenn es die Gesundheit und Zeit erlaubt, werde ich gerne zurückkommen.Liebe Grüsse Guido

Rudolf M.

Bedanke mich an das Aloha Team für die tollen Tagesausflüge, es war alles super hat mich gefreut das gesamte Aloha Team kennengelernt zu haben. Ich hab 5 mal den Tagesausflug mitgemacht und es war immer alles war top organisiert.Danke für die schöne Zeit.Ich hoffe es war nicht mein letzter besuch bei euch.LG Rudi.

Lena B.

Wir haben einen Schnuppertauchkurs gebucht, der 3 Tauchgänge beinhaltete. Das Boot war nicht überfüllt, die Tauchlehrer waren super und die gestellte Ausrüstung war ebenfalls top. Wir hatten einen tollen Tag und ganz tolle Bilder erhalten. Wenn wir wieder in Phuket sind, kommen wir auf jeden Fall wieder. Nur zu empfehlen.

Nico

Excellent service, literally booked everything the evening before the actual dive. Very professional and friendly service!

Jonas R.

Wir haben den Open Water Diver bei Aloha Diving gemacht und es war einfach klasse :-)Wir haben es im Voraus gebucht und alles andere wurde wirklich toll organisiert.Unser Tauchlehrer war ebenfalls klasse und hat gut auf uns aufgepasst. Auch wenn etwas mal nicht auf Anhieb geklappt hat, war er immer geduldig und verständnisvoll.Es hat uns sehr viel Spass gemacht bei euch den Kurs gemacht zu haben ;-)Wir können Aloha Diving nur weiter empfehlen.

Gerhard S.

Aloha Diving ist eine gut geführte kleinere aber besondere Tauchbasis im Herzen von Rawaii im Süden von Phuket. Meiner Meinung nach eine der besten Basen, da auf individuelle Wünsche eingegangen wird, Sonderfahrten organisiert werden und auch besonderer Wert darauf gelegt wird, das der Gast auch etwas neues betauchen kann. Es ist nicht immer einfach jedem gerecht zu werden aber Alice und Simon machen mit ihrem Profesionellen Service alles zu einem Relaxten Erlebnis. Mit Simon hat man auch immer die Möglichkeit Rebreather tauchen zu können, was ich jedem nur empfehlen kann, beim nächsten mal mache ich die Umschulung 8-)Habe 24 wunderbare Tauchgänge mit euch absolviert, davon waren einige wirklich aussergewöhnlichIch kann also jedem der nicht nur die Standards in Phuketsumgebung betauchen möchte Aloha Diving ehrlich ans Herz legen.

Maxim G.

It was a lovely trip! The boat was big with all essentials included: toilets/shower, breakfast, lunch, fruits. Instructors were professional and nice people to talk with.P.S.: hey Simon, that was a nice talk about technical diving!

Zac B.

Aloha Diving is awesome. My girlfriend and I emailed Simon months before our trip about taking an open water diver course. Simon promptly responded to our email (as he does with any email or message you may send him) with all the information we needed to get started plus set us up for some online learning. Once we arrived in Phuket, Simon picked us up from where we were staying and we began the class room portion of the course. Simon is an incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and efficient teacher. By the time it was time to start diving Simon had answered all of our questions and we felt very prepared. On the diving days Simon and his staff were prompt with pick up, briefed us on each location and the skills we needed to perform there, and overall ensured we got the most out of every dive by giving us tips and pointing out many different types of sea life. Simon also sent us a file full of pictures he took of us on each dive which is an added plus. I really do not believe we could have had a better experience. Simon and his team are the best and i would recommend them to anyone.

Swiz led professional but really personal diving school. Great instructor to pupil ratio. Would go there again.

Christine W.

Fabulous people. Well looked after. I felt like a true VIP. Thanks guys.

Karol K.

Aloha diving made it possible!We had a great time with amazing dives and met wonderful peoples. The service you get is just on top of the top. Transferring you like a VIP from your hotel to the boat and back...all you need to do is to slip in your gear and jump in the water....just awesome! Also during the boat ride where enough food and drinks for all to keep everyone happy. Briefing and De-briefing was good and easy understandable for all and made the dives even more enjoyable. They also look after your diving skills to make sure you got the best dives for your comfort level. Alice and the team did great and we would go diving with them any time any place again! Companys like Aloha diving became rare. Where peoples get treated like individual personalities and taken the way they are. We really appreciate that personal touch!

Katy F.

We traveled to Phuket in June 2017 with a focus on spending the majority of our time diving. We went with Alice from Aloha diving and are so very pleased we did! This is a great small company it was just my husband and I and Alice. From our transport to and from the hotel, to the high quality equipment, local knowledge, safety and experience it was simply outstanding.We had booked 2 days diving with 3 dives per day and on the final dive I was so impressed we booked another day and ended up having 9 dives in total with Alice and Aloha Ocean Adventures.Having our Open Water dive certificate but not many dives under our weight belts having a professional instructor / guide who put our safety first was so very important to me and Alice and Aloha Ocean Adventures did not disappoint.Alice met us at the marina and brought us onto the shared large diving boat, she had an excellent working relationship with the crew and boat leader who were very helpful and knowledgeable. Alice explained everything to us, since it had been over a year since we dived, Alice walked us through our equipment by the end of the first dive we were handling, using and setting up our equipment like pros. Before each dive Alice would sit with us on the boat and go through the dive site, our plan for the dive and the marine life we were likely to experience. Her professionalism and love for diving made for some amazing dives! Her guidance and education has taken us from being novice divers up to the next level - she has invigorated our love of diving again.I am already planning another dive trip to Phuket and certainly be using Aloha Ocean Adventures again. Highly recommend.

Arid H.

My wife and I booked for two days diving (6 dives) with Aloha. It was so good we added a third day's worth of diving. We dived with one of the owners, Alice and met the other owner Simon. They were great - transfers from our resort were seamless. The dives were wonderful and Alice not only provided great guidance while diving by spotting and pointing out the various forms of aquatic life but also provided great company in between dives. As a bonus she also provided us with photos from all of our dives for free rather than at a price (as is the usual custom among tourism operators.Aloha's diving equipment was in excellent condition and the dive boat which they used was spacious and comfortable. I'd thoroughly recommend Aloha Ocean Adventures to anyone interested in diving around Phuket and we'll be diving with next next year when we return to Thailand.

Miles B.

Went to Phuket for our anniversary, my wife has been wanting to try scuba diving as long as I can remember. I was nervous at first to jump right in without any training or prior knowledge, but our Aloha Guide, Simon, was an incredible instructor who kept us calm, well-informed, and allowed us to have 3 amazing dives! By the third dive, I felt like a pro already!We tried the "Try Scuba Diving" full day trip with 3 dives, and it was everything we hoped for - easy transportation, great service, delicious food, beautiful views and incredible diving. Would absolutely come back and scuba-dive again with Aloha!

Daria P.

This was absolutely amazing! My first diving experience was with Alice and she is a super-caring, experienced and lovely teacher. I was very scared to try diving for the first time, but with Alice everything went well and super smooth. She explained everything perfectly, she was by my side every moment, at the same time giving enough freedom to feel the real diving experience. Alice took great pictures and, unlike many other diving centers, Aloha Ocean Adventures don't charge an additional fee for the pictures. Alice is easy to get along with, she knows all the best spots and can find a right approach to any person. The boat is super comfortable, food is delicious, staff is helping and caring. I had one of the brightest experiences in my life and I highly recommend this diving center. This is a great example of people, who love what they do and know exactly how to make you love it as well.

I've had a great experience with Aloha Diving. It was my first time diving and I did a 2 day Scuba Diving course. Alice was a very competent and extremly nice instructor. I felt very safe at all times and learned a lot in those 2 days. It definetly made me want to continue to dive and if I'm ever again on Phuket, I will revist Aloha Diving.

A. K.

Ich habe über Aloha Diving zwei Tagestouren in Phuket gebucht (King Cruiser, Shark Point/Anemone Reef, Koh Doc Mai und Racha Noi).Die Betreuung und Organisation waren super. Am ersten Tag hatte ich einen Guide für mich alleine, am zweiten Tag waren wir zu zweit.Insgesamt 2 tolle Tage :-)

J S.

I strongly recommend Aloha Diving when looking for a reliable diving company. We went for a try scubadive last december and had a great time with Simon. He is patient, very professional and especially passionate about what he does. It was the first time for us and we felt comfortable during the whole trip. We did 3 dives in different sites around the Racha islands. We loved it!!!

Wow! I wanted to scuba dive do an open water diver course since many years but never really had the chance. As I traveled to Phuket/Thailand I was looking for excellent diving schools and soon found Aloha Diving based in Rawai. Although I was based in Karon this was no problem as Aloha Diving will picks you up nearly everywhere in Phuket. Ok, so I gave it a chance and must honestly say that my expectations were excelled by far. Simon —one of the two founders— gave me the perfect introduction into the theory and practice of Open Water Diving and made sure that I felt completely comfortable and secure at all times. After preparing my theory via app and with Simon's help I took the test and made it easily on the first try. Now to the practical part: Starting in a very nice and exclusive pool (day 1) we stepped up the game the next day and went for 3 dives. Before entering the ocean (what a view) I was a little afraid I'd feel a little unwell as I never tried diving before (only snorkeling), but man was I wrong. I can say absolutely the same for day 3, which was even better (and another 3 dives, which is more than other diving schools give you) as I felt even more secure and understood the before learned better. I saw some amazing underwater life, we even dove through a small shipwreck. And now I am a diver!!! If you ever come to Phuket and want to give diving a try I highly recommend you check out Aloha Diving and do a beginner's course. I don't have any comparison to other schools but with this experience I don't need one. 6 stars :) I'll be back for more!

Fabian R.

Just awesome! I recommend diving with Alice and Simon unreservedly!

A very good diving experience for beginners. Well organized. Diving teacher friendly, competent and sympathetic. Lots to see below sea level.

Patrick F.

Our experience with Aloha Diving was excellent!Our day trip to Racha Island began with Alice and Simon collecting us from our hotel to be taken to the port. Throughout the experience, Alice and Simon kept us informed with everything that was going on which allowed the experience to be very easy going. As a first time diver and a weak swimmer, I was made to feel very comfortable as I was guided throughout every step of the day. As for the diving experience itself, words cannot describe how amazing it was. I will definitely be diving again in the near future and it most certainly will be with Aloha Diving!

Rafael E.

Booked online the 3 days Open Water Diver Course. Got a prompt response, good detailed information, very flexible peole in trerms of scheduling.

A real 5 star divingschool at low prices.Rafael E.Captain Qatar Airways

Hatten leider nur einen Tag und 3 TG mit Alice, waren aber völlig begeistert: Antworten per Mail meist innerhalb einer Stunde, vorab alles wichtige geklärt, einfache Online-Anzahlung und gute Infos für den Tauchtag gegeben. Am Tag der TG war vom Shuttle ab dem Hotel angefangen, bis zur Organisation an Bord alles perfekt. Wir waren nur zu zweit in der Gruppe, Alice hat uns super gebrieft und neben den ganzen Tierchen, die sie uns gezeigt hat, schöne Fotos von uns unter Wasser gemacht. Alles super entspannt, auf jeden Fall zu empfehlen. Aloha und ganz liebe Grüße aus München Andy und Patrick

Alice is very nice!!! 这是一个德国人开的潜店，店主很细心，因为我是新人，她带着我，会额外的照顾我，要感谢一下她！

Sandra S.

Dies ist die erste Bewertung, die wir nach einem Urlaub schreiben. Nicht, weil wir vorher nie gefragt wurden, sondern weil das Team es wirklich verdient hat.Wir hatten 4 super Tauchtage. Sie sind nach ihren eigenen Möglichkeiten felxibel und versuchen alle Wünsche zu erfüllen. Die Ausrüstung ist in einem Top Zustand und man bekommt hier einen Tauchcomputer ohne Aufpreis zum Tauchgang dazu. Die beiden haben ein Auge für das Leben unter Wasser und finden auch die kleinsten Tierchen, die es Wert sind bestaunt zu werden. Zum Bespiel Baby-Garnelen - die hätten wir niemals im Leben gefunden :DZu den Tauchgänge wurde auch immer eine Kamera mitgenommen und es sind so super Erinnerungsfotos für uns entstanden.Auch geben die Beiden gerne Tipps was man so im Umkreis noch machen kann, wo man essen kann und wie man von A nach B kommt.Beim nächstens Besuch in Thailand werden wir auch jedenfall wieder vorbeischauen.Gruß Sandra + Alex

Claudia J.

Erst ein mal ein riesengroßes DANKESCHÖN!!! Es war eine super tolle Zeit mit euch. Dank Simon habe ich jetzt meinen OWD und meinen Deep Diver absolviert! Er stahlst eine Ruhe aus , wo man als Schüler und Taucher ein sehr sicheres Gefühl bekommt!!! Auch die Tagestouren die wir vor Ort gebucht haben, waren super organisiert .Ihr seid ein super Team!!!! Macht weiter so ☺☺☺☺

Eine kleine Dive Boutique am Rande Rawais (etwa 20min Laufweg bis Rawai Beach) fernab von Trubel und Massentourismus. Ein kleines aber sehr kompetetes Team, bestehend aus den erfahrenen Tauchlehrern Simon und Alice, nimmt einen in Empfang um unauftringlich und unkompliziert Termine für Fundives, Kurse (SSI, bis XR) oder auch Schnuppertauchen zu vereinbaren. Wer den Ausflug scheut wird von Alice und/oder Simon im Hotel für Terminvereinbarung und Papierkram besucht. Unkompliziert und nett. Jeden Tag werden verschiedenste Tauchplätze angeboten (hier kommt es natürlich auch darauf an ob die Boote die genutzt werden genug Kapazität haben), auch Liveaboards stehen zur Verfügung. Simon ist zudem - falls dies von Interesse sein sollte - der einzige Kreislaufgeräte-Instuktor in Thailand und hierin ein Meister seines Fachs! Die Ausrüstung ist sehr neu und gepflegt, das Office und der Empfangsbereich sehr liebevoll gestaltet!Gerne stehen Simon und Alice auch in Fragen vorab zur Verfügung! Ich habe mich hier bestens aufgehoben gefühlt, alles ist mit Bedacht bestens organisiert und gewartet, und als Zuckerstückchen hat man bei den Tauchgängen fast so etwas wie einen privaten Guide da hier keine Massenabfertigung stattfindet.Weiter so!!! - ich komme wieder!

Waleri B.

Das Schnuppertauchen war sehr professionell organisiert und wurde erstklassig durch Simon begleitet.Ich und meine Tochter waren mehr als begeistert!Sehr gerne wieder!

I had been wanting to try scuba diving for many years but hadn't really had the chance before. Now in phuket, although I had not planned it, I decided to give it a try and was referred to Simon from aloha diving. He came to meet me personally and was very friendly and keen to explain every diferent option in detail. Then, after thinking for a day, I decided to go for the "Try scuba diving boat" trip. I must say it's been one of the best decisions I have ever made when it comes to touristic activities. I really enjoyed every bit of it. Everything was just great, the trip included 3 dives at different locations, good buffet breakfast and lunch, coffee and tea and afternoon snacks. I must say that Simon was always very professional and patient towards a novice diver like me, always giving clear instructions and showing a big commitment to safety and customer service. To begin with, it was himself who picked us up from the hotel lobby to go to the pier. The boat was also very nice and clean, and the crew was very friendly and helpful. My wife also joined us for a cheaper price as she did not dive, however she enjoyed the day on the boat and went for some snorkeling at the diving locations. At the end of the day, I felt sorry that I had not planned this before coming to Thailand, otherwise I would've gone straight for the 3 day course Simon offered me without thinking twice. My wife was also very pleased with the experience and the service provided that she said she would definitely try it on a next holiday. Thank you very much to Simon and aloha diving for an amazing experience. God bless :)

Salman I.

Great experience for a first dive with no swimming experience. Had a wonderful moment with Aloha. A personalised one to one diving instructions given by Simon. Overall attitude to work and customer service was perfect. Friendly, excellent communication thru email, calm behaviour at the time of diving and providing instruction to novice divers, and a very dedicated and sincere attitude to his work. If anyone wants to have a first diving experience in Phuket, I would recommend everyone to choose Aloha. It was a best experience of my time in Phuket.

Zaly P.

I did a full day trip with Simon to the Phi Phi Islands with 3 dives. Simon was very professional and kept an extra eye out for me that hadn't dived for a while, everything was really smooth from transportation from the Hotel to Phi Phi and back. And even if the weather could have been better it was 3 good dives and we saw some Black Tip Reef Sharks which is allways cool. Thank you Simon and Aloha Diving, I can for sure recommend you guys to people diving in Thailand

Dario

My wife and I completed our SSI Open Water Scuba certification while in Phuket with Aloha. We had a phonomenal experience. Simon was very prompt and organized when arranging payment, course materials, and pick-up times. Additionally, he was able to accommodate us with very short notice (the evening before the start of the course). Our first day was spent at a clean and well maintained pool, with a delicious lunch provided. Simon was clear and patient when instructing us. The second day we had three dives off the beautiful island Racha Noi and Racha Yai. This was a great "all inclusive" experience with breakfast, lunch, and post-dive pancakes included! We not only learned how to dive, but we got to see beautiful coral and fish while doing it! The third day was another great "all inclusive" day with three dives off the islands outside of Phuket. Thank you Simon & Alice, we had a fantastic time!

Joren

Had a great time diving in Phuket with Aloha diving! Very personal dive guides, in a small group. Very relaxed atmosphere, both on the boat as well as in the water. Would definetely recommend! Did three dives, and saw beautiful corals, fish, snails, and even a sea snake!

Alex K.

Всэех супер, классный гид. Мне очень понравилось.

Darien H.

I had a great experience with Aloha Diving! I am a 'rookie' diver and my instructor Simon was very knowledgeable and attentive throughout the process. I felt very safe and comfortable with his instructions. I would highly recommend this company to anyone regardless of their diving experience.

Nathan S.

Super experience and personal approach. Alice and simon are the perfect company for a first try scuba dive. Would very very recommend this for anybody who wants to see the beautiful sealife around phuket. Clear and fast communication through email. We were a group of 3 guys and had a great day with Aloha! Nathan , Kief anf Stef

Emelie S.

Had an amazing time with Simon and the other people at the boat! First time and loved every second. Can highly recommend this company. Serious and fun and we were well taken care of!

Wir (Paar) hatten vor wenigen Tagen einen traumhaften Tauchausflug mit Simon von Aloha Ocean Adventures.Für uns beide war es das erste Mal, sprich wir waren blutige Anfänger, aber das stellte nie ein Problem dar. Im Gegenteil, es lief alles super und wir fühlten uns von Anfang an sehr gut aufgehoben! Von der Abholung im Hotel, bis hin zur Fahrt zum Tauchgebiet etc lief alles super. Die Tauchausrüstung ist wie nagelneu und da Simon mit einer super Kamera ausgestattet ist, sind traumhafte Unterwasseraufnahmen entstanden.Gerne hätten wir noch den Tauchschein gemacht, aber gegen Endes des Urlaubes war es dann doch zu knapp. Wir holen es das nächste Mal nach :)

We had a great first experience diving with Aloha Ocean Adventure. Alice & Simon explained us everything very well, with patience and pedagogy. We felt safe and in good hands. We highly recommend every one who want to do diving in Phuket to contact them. Moreover, they are very well located (only 10 min drive from the harbour) and next to the nicest beaches and area of the island. We did 3 dives around Ko Phi Phi island (the best one was in anemone rift). It was a full day on a big diving boat (from 7am to 7pm) that you share with other groups. The boat is very confortable with a lot of space for everyone (we did’t feel cramped). Breakfast, lunch, fruits, pancakes, the and coffee were included. Overall a great experience.

Wir hatten am vergangenen Samstag einen unvergesslichen Tag, unser erstes Taucherlebnis. Ein rundum gut organisierter Tag. Simon, du bist Spitze. Danke für deine Geduld und die gute Betreuung. Wir blutigen Anfänger fühlten uns bestens aufgehoben. Dank auch an Danny und Manny. Liebe Grüße Iris und Dirk

Made the Open Water Diver Course and it was fantastic. Learning how to dive was a lot of fun (in the pool and the sea even more). Familiar Atmosphere the whole 3 days.Definetly would recommend diving with Aloha Ocean Adventures!
