Where our Phuket Dive Center is located
Our Phuket dive center is located in Rawai Beach / Nai Harn, in the very south of Phuket Island. The quiet area, away from mass tourism Patong, Karon and Kata, have still largely retained their original charm. Near by there are several idyllic beaches like Nai Harn, Ao Sane and Yanui with good snorkeling. Our attractive house reef is located at Yanui Beach. We are often seen there while diving both by day and night.
Popular Highlights: The Promtep Cape is just around the corner and is a popular view point for breathtaking sunsets. There are many charming guesthouses, hotels, bars and restaurants in the region with free Wi-Fi available. Of course there is no lack of 7/11 supermarkets and Thai massages. Tailors are also well represented, producing tailored clothes for a reasonable price. At Rawai Beach (which is not convenient for swimming) local fishermen offer their daily catch on a small fish market. If required the food will be freshly cooked in a restaurant right opposite. Another “highlight” and point of interest is Phuket’s Big Buddha, just 10 km away. Of course we have a few more insider tips, we would like to share with our guests personally!
Getting around: Access to transport makes life and holidays here very comfortable and helps you to explore the countless attractions of the island. Motorbikes can be easily rented and are cheap (THB 200 to THB 350 per day). Inside information in vacationing on Phuket you find in the Travel + Leisure blog post: A Guide to Vacationing in Phuket
Accommodation: We are always pleased to assist our guests in finding suitable accommodation in the Rawai / Nai Harn Beach districts. There is wide range of accommodation available from low cost B&Bs to 5 star Hotels and beach-side Jungle resorts – and just about everything else in between!!
Transfer from your Phuket Dive Resort for Scuba Diving: All daily boat diving trips start from Chalong Pier, which is reachable within 10 minutes from our dive Centre. The transfer is free of charge from Rawai Beach and Nai Harn district.

How to find us
Regardless of where you spend your holiday on Phuket island, Aloha Diving is your most convenient and accessible dive center. We can serve you wherever you are in Phuket. Free transfer service for all diving activities from Rawai, Nai Harn, Kata, Kata Noi and Karon. Transfers form other areas are on request with a small surcharge.
From the Airport / Chalong
Go towards Phuket Town, pass the Heroin monument, go straight, pass Thalang, go straight, pass Boat Lagoon (on your left) at the next traffic lights you turn right. ON the corner you see a huge Toyota dealer. From here on its all the way straight towards Rawai until you reach the circle in Chalong. There are only 2 round a-bouts coming from the airport.
At the Chalong Circle go towards Rawai Beach / Promthep Cape (from the Airport 3rd exit). Drive all the way until you see a sign that mentions “dead-end”. You have to turn right there. On the righthand corner you will see a “bakery” called Flints-one. Keep on driving straight and just follow the road. You will see on your left “restaurant Nikita’s” on your right a 7-Eleven shop, keep on going to the next traffic light (We Cafe) with the Rawai Palm Beach Resort in front of you at the end of the beach. Turn right and follow the road over the hill. When you see the yellow house with the Aloha Diving logo on the right side you reached the destination.
From Kata / Karon / Patong
When you enter Soi Sayuan go direction Rawai Beach. Before you turn right to Nai Harn Beach you can find on the lefthand side “Aroy Corner restaurant”. You turn left at the traffic lights. Follow this road until you reach the yellow house. We are on the left side. If you reach the next traffic lights you have already gone too far. Contact us if you are stuck +66979243483. We can come and find you.
Public Transport
A new coast-line public transportation between Phuket Airport and Rawai Beach was launched in early 2018.
You can catch the bus to Rawai Beach at the following locations: Kata Night Plaza, Karon Circle, Patong Provincial Electrical Authority (PEA), Kamala Big C Super market, Kamala Phuket Fantasea, Surin Beach or Bang Tao Beach. You will pass by our Dive Center. The bus stop is at Nonthasak Marine (Rawai Beach). We are a 15 minute walk away at the other end of the beach. The bus operates between 6am and 9pm.

Testimonials
Here’s what our happy divers had to say about our services:
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.

(Translated by Google) I did my Stress and Rescue and Divemaster course at Aloha Diving, all in all I was on the boat practically every day for 3 weeks.It was a great time, I learned a lot and was able to improve my skills through the competent tips from Simon and Alice.I also got to know the many different dive sites around Phuket very well.We did two dives a day, mostly at different dive sites, my favorites include Sharkpoint and Kings Cruser.There are a maximum of 12 people on board, so the team can respond specifically to individual needs and are clearly one step ahead of the competition.The Aloha Diving Team as well as the boat crew are super, very friendly and always have an open ear for the concerns of the customers.I would recommend the diving school to anyone who wants to learn diving, can expand or who just wants to go diving for fun.(Original)Ich habe bei Aloha Diving meinen Stress and Rescue und den Divemasterkurs absolviert, alles in allem war ich 3 Wochen praktisch jeden Tag auf dem Boot.Es war eine super Zeit, ich habe sehr viel dazugelernt und konnte mein Können durch die kompetenten Tipps von Simon und Alice verbessern. Dazu habe ich die vielen verschiedenen Tauchplätze rund um Phuket sehr gut kennengelernt. Pro Tag machten wir zwei Tauchgänge meist an verschiedenen Tauchplätzen, zu meinen Favoriten gehören Sharkpoint und Kings Cruser. Es sind maximal 12 Personen an Board, somit kann das Team spezifisch auf die einzelnen Bedürfnisse eingehen und sind der Konkurrenz eindeutig eine Nasenlänge voraus. Das Aloha Diving Team wie auch die Bootscrew sind super, sehr freundlich und haben immer ein offenes Ohr für die anliegen der Kunden.Ich würde die Tauchschule jedem weiter empfehlen der Tauchen lernen will, sein können erweitern oder der einfach nur zum Spass tauchen gehen will.

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!
Ida S.
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.

(Translated by Google) We have booked a private boat tour with trial diving. Everything perfect from start to finish. Even our unusual meal request (vegan, gluten-free) was fulfilled without any problems.During the dive we felt very safe and well looked after.The first time diving in the open sea was very special.We could also visit two deserted beaches at our own request.We still dream of puffer fish, starfish and rays.A thousand thanks for the great care and the unforgettable day. The booking and the contact were also great.(Original)Wir haben eine private Bootstour mit Schnuppertauchen gebucht. Von Anfang bis Ende alles perfekt. Selbst unser ausgefallener Essenswunsch (Vegan, Glutenfrei) wurde einwandfrei ohne wenn und aber erfüllt. Während des Tauchgangs haben wir uns sehr sicher und gut betreut gefühlt.Das erste mal Tauchen im offenen Meer war etwas ganz Besonderes.Zwei menschenleere Strände konnten wir auf eigenen Wunsch auch besuchen.Wir träumen immer noch von Kugelfischen, Seesternen und Rochen.Tausend Dank für die großartige Betreuung und den unvergesslichen Tag. Auch die Buchung und der Kontakt waren super.

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.

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 !!!

I experienced a 3days diving with aloha Diving and I was completely satisfied. friendly staff, excellent lunch, personal approach, prepared equipment and beautiful dives. I absolutly recommend.
Daniela Z.
(Translated by Google) Super instructor is glad that I ended up with you. Small diving groups, mostly 1 to 1 supervision. And what is most important is having your own boat, which makes the whole thing a lot more relaxed and not mass-produced like other boats. The equipment was also excellent.(Original)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.
Daniel P.
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.
Osborne M.
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.

(Translated by Google) A great diving school. Nice crew and very competent diving instructors. It was a lot of fun(Original)Eine super Tauchschule. Nette Crew und sehr kompetente Tauchlehrer. Hat sehr viel Spaß gemacht.👍🏻

(Translated by Google) That is pure Swissness, perfection and passion in its purest form.I cannot imagine diving on a higher and friendlier level.Aloha Diving has its own boat, no daily towing of equipment etc. as everything is already on the boat.The number of participants is limited to max. 4-6 guests / trip. Whether you are a diver or a companion (for these, the dinghy is used separately for snorkeling, always accompanied by a crew member). You always have enough space to move enough or to retreat.It was my first time in Phuket for two weeks and the 6 days with Aloha Diving with Alice and Simon were clearly the nicest 👌🏻😊👏🏻.January 17th, 2020_Daniel G._Zürich(Original)Das ist ‚Swissness‘ pur, Perfektion und Leidenschaft in Reinkultur.Ich kann mir Tauchen auf höherem und freundlicheren Niveau nicht vorstellen.Aloha Diving verfügt über ein eigenes Boot, keine tägliche Schlepperei von Material etc. da sich alles schon auch dem Boot befindet.Die Anzahl der Teilnehmer ist beschränkt auf max. 4-6 Gäste/Trip. Ob Taucher oder Begleiter (für diese wird jeweils separat zum Schnorcheln mit dem Beiboot gefahren, immer in Begleitung eines Crewmitgliedes). Man hat immer genügend Platz um sich genug bewegen oder sich zurück zuziehen zu können.Ich war jetzt das erste Mal in Phuket für zwei Wochen und die 6 Tage bei Aloha Diving mit Alice und Simon waren klar die schönsten 👌🏻😊👏🏻.17.01.2020_Daniel G._Zürich

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

(Translated by Google) Alice and Simon are two extremely nice diving instructors, I had a lot of fun in the small group, they selected great dive sites and responded well to all questions. I highly recommend Aloha Diving in Phuket :)(Original)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:)
Felix H.
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.
Keith S.
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.
Tanur B.
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!
Kai W.
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 ;)
Katrin M.
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.
Tato L.
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.
Eva Z.
Best service, small groups, relaxed diving
Beat D.
(Translated by Google) Just beautiful! Nice boat, nice diving, nice comfortable, nice and in good hands felt, nice delicious food, all around only to be recommended. Come back to Rawai for Aloha.Aloha's ability to be flexible with their own boat and be able to respond to the conditions is just fun because you do not have too many divers at the same place. It is a great crew with appropriate knowledge of diving, the conditions and the diving area.Keep it up and good air.(Original)Einfach nur schön! Schönes Boot, schönes tauchen, schön gemütlich, schön und gut aufgehoben gefühlt, schön leckeres Essen, rundum nur zu empfehlen. Komme gerne wieder nach Rawai zu Aloha. Die Möglichkeit die Aloha durch das eigene Boot hat flexibel zu sein und auf die Gegebenheiten reagieren zu können machen einfach nur Spaß da man so nicht mit allzu vielen Tauchern am gleichen Platz ist. Es ist eine tolle Crew mit entsprechenden Kenntnissen vom Tauchen, den Verhältnissen und dem Tauchrevier. Weiter so und immer gut Luft.
Dirk H.
(Translated by Google) I had a great time with the team. The boat is great the perfect size to feel good. We were completely spoiled and the food was great. Exactly what you can imagine under a perfect diving trip.(Original)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.
flavio K.
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!
James B.
(Translated by Google) Due to the good reviews and the recommendation of a friend, I made 3 diving trips with two dives. Simon and his team gave us very good advice and guided us to very nice dive sites. The days were with small groups and very good food, relaxing and impressive. I highly recommend Aloha Diving and of course I will dive with them again next time.Greetings Marco(Original)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
Marco F.
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

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

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.

(Translated by Google) Diving in a family environment instead of mass processingIn Phuket, it is not uncommon for divers to be mass-barred. One is booked by the diving schools with many other divers on a boat and then drives with some other boats to the "classic" dive spots. Aloha Diving offers, in contrast to most diving schools, a very informal environment. It is really individually tailored to the individual guests. Aloha has its own boat, is thus much more flexible, and goes to dive spots where you are mostly completely alone (but above all, individually on the wishes received). Between the dives a delicious lunch is cooked.It was an absolute top experience. My girlfriend and I completed the Advanced Adventurer course and learned a lot. We had the great pleasure of always diving with Alice as a couple. Other divers had their own guide. Everything was very professional content. Between the dives we got the theory taught.Alice is a very positive person and burns for the sport. Even after thousands of dives, the enthusiasm is unbroken. This enthusiasm is on. Simply great !! Alice also had a camera with us to take pictures of us. These were then shared via Dropbox (no extra charge). There are great pictures created!Conclusion: absolute recommendation! I hope we have the pleasure again next year. Thanks for this great week!(Original)Tauchen in einem familiären Umfeld statt Massenabfertigung In Phuket ist es nicht unüblich, dass Taucher in Massen abgefertigt werden. Man wird von den Tauchschulen mit vielen anderen Tauchern auf ein Boot gebucht und fährt dann mit einigen anderen Booten zu den "klassischen" Tauchspots. Aloha Diving bietet im Gegensatz zu den meisten Tauchschulen eine sehr familiäres Umfeld an. Es wird wirklich individuell auf die einzelnen Gäste eingegangen. Aloha hat ein eigenes Boot, ist somit viel flexibler, und fährt zu Tauchspots bei denen man meistens komplett alleine ist (hier wird aber vor allem auch individuell auf die Wünsche eingegangen). Zwischen den Tauchgängen wird ein leckeres Mittagessen gekocht. Es war eine absolute Top Erfahrung. Meine Freundin und ich haben den "Advanced Adventurer Kurs" absolviert und sehr viel gelernt. Wir hatten das große Vergnügen immer zu zweit mit Alice zu tauchen. Andere Taucher hatten ihren eigenen Guide. Inhaltlich lief alles hochprofessionell ab. Zwischen den Tauchgängen haben wir die Theorie vermittelt bekommen. Alice ist ein sehr positiver Mensch und brennt für den Sport. Selbst nach Tausenden von Tauchgängen ist die Begeisterung ungebrochen. Diese Begeisterung steckt an. Einfach Top!! Alice hatte auch mal eine Kamera dabei, um Fotos von uns zu machen. Diese wurden dann über Dropbox geteilt (ohne Aufpreis). Dabei sind super Bilder entstanden! Fazit: Absolute Empfehlung! Ich hoffe wir haben nächstes Jahr wieder das Vergnügen. Danke für diese tolle Woche!

(Translated by Google) We had the chance to do a dive with Aloha diving. Everything was perfect.A driver picked us up at our apartment and drove us to the harbor.Our instructor spoke perfect French. Another instructor looked after only our 12 year old son. He also spoke French very well. A third instructor was present for the other 2 people in the group.The boat was very comfortable and the food served very qualitative.We were able to dive 2 times. Our instructor (Belgian) adapted to our rhythm. We could see extraordinary seabed with a wide variety of fish and corals.

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

(Translated by Google) We were lucky enough to experience 2 wonderful diving days with Alice and Simon from the diving school Aloha Diving 10 days ago. My wife was a bit unsure as the recent dives had not gone so well, but Alice made her the best dives. With a lot of peace a lot of experience and knowledge was conveyed. The boat is very clean and well maintained. The Crow peak. Great Versorgungs.Kein mass tourism. Thank you very much and best regards. Through you we rethink our vacation planning. Maybe we'll meet again next year.(Original)Wir hatten das Glück 2 Wunderbare Tauchtage mit Alice und Simon von der Tauchschule Aloha Diving zu erleben vor 10 Tagen. Meine Frau war etwas unsicher, da die letzten Tauchgänge nicht so gut gelaufen waren, aber durch Alice waren es Ihre schönsten Tauchgänge. Mit sehr viel Ruhe wurde viel Erfahrung und Wissen vermittelt. Das Boot ist sehr sauber und gepflegt. Die Crow Spitze. Tolle Versorgung.Kein Massentourismus. Ganz lieben Dank und liebe Grüße. Durch Euch überdenken wir unsere Urlaubsplanung. Vielleicht sehen wir uns naechstes Jahr wieder.

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!

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

(Translated by Google) I did not know for a long time which provider I should dive in Phuket. Actually I wanted it as cheap as possible - but now I am immensely glad that I found Aloha!Thanks to the lovely recommendation of a friend, I came across Aloha Diving and got to know the team directly. Apart from the fact that Alice and Simon are wonderful people to spend a whole day on the boat with, their diving center is just fantastic.We did not have much experience and were therefore reintroduced in great detail and care. There were two breathtaking dives with a lot of excitement and wonder and to compensate for a great lunch and relaxed good mood on the boat. I felt really good all the time and was able to get the most out of the trip.Every time I decide to dive here, I recommend to those who are undecided, to prefer the great experience over the few Euros that are saved at the cheap diving schools.Thanks for all Aloha!(Original)Ich wusste lange nicht bei welchem Anbieter ich in Phuket tauchen soll. Eigentlich wollte ich es so billig wie möglich - jetzt bin ich aber unendlich froh, dass ich Aloha gefunden habe!Dank der lieben Empfehlung einer Freundin bin ich auf Aloha Diving gestoßen und habe das Team direkt kennen lernen dürfen. Abgesehen davon, dass Alice und Simon ganz wundervolle Leute sind, mit denen man gerne einen ganzen Tag auf dem Boot verbringt, ist ihr Tauch-Center einfach fantastisch.Wir hatten nicht allzu viel Erfahrung und wurden deshalb sehr ausführlich und sorgsam wieder eingeführt. Es waren zwei atemberaubende Tauchgänge mit viel Aufregung und Staunen und zum Ausgleich einem tollen Mittagessen und entspannter guter Laune auf dem Boot. Ich habe mich die ganze Zeit richtig wohl gefühlt und konnte so das Meiste aus dem Trip rausholen.Ich würde mich jedes mal wieder entscheiden hier zu tauchen und empfehle allen Unentschlossenen, die tolle Erfahrung den paar Euros vorzuziehen, die man bei den Billig-Tauchschulen spart.Danke für Alles Aloha!

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

(Translated by Google) My wife and I did a diving / snorkeling trip in September with Aloha Diving. Alice and Simon are totally focused on the needs of customers and look that everyone gets their money, while the safety is never out of sight. All on board were very friendly and professional, so we absolutely recommend the diving center!Also the diving groups and size of the whole group is much smaller in comparison to other diving bases in the area, it makes in my view still much more pleasant and individual. 5 stars =)(Original)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 =)

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.

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.

(Translated by Google) It is so incredible. We had the unique opportunity to participate in the first official dive trip with Aloha's new boat. What a difference to the mass diving trips on the traditional ships in the past.Not only does this give you full flexibility for unique dives, it also gives you the feeling of being part of a big family. In other words, we were able to enjoy Alice and Simon 100% in their unique, quiet, fun, friendly, professional and safe ways.We were in caves, wrecks and made drift dives. ... and yes, we also found seahorses.Contrary to what was said at home, we have seen a fish-rich, wonderfully colorful underwater world. We were surprised by the beautiful places around Phuket, which of course made us even more enthusiastic.Certainly also because of Alice's selection of dive sites.Thanks a lot to Alice and Simon ... and the lovely local boat crew for these wonderful days.We have now decided to come every year.(Original)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.

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!

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.

Lovely again.(Original)Wir haben von meiner Schwester die Adresse von Aloha Diving erhalten.

Aloha Diving is absolutely a top notch dive shop in Phuket combining Swiss hospitality with outmost professionalism and attention to customer’s needs. I had a pleasure of having a truly boutique and private diving experience with Alice off Phi Phi Islands in early July 2019. Everything, from booking on a very short notice only 2 days in advance to saying goodbye on a pier at the end of the dive day, was a 5-star experience. If you’re looking to avoid a conveyer style, tourists overcrowded Phuket’s dive shops and want to have a customized client-centric, safe & enjoyable diving experience, then Aloha Diving is that place!

(Translated by Google) We spent a total of three days with Aloha diving. It was great fun and the owners came to us from the beginning. Simon was very friendly with the advice and gave us all the information we needed. Alice took care of us on site and took care of the organizational. Mark the instructor who accompanied us on the boat and underwater was also very helpful and professional. Just keep it up :) Can only be recommended.(Original)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.

(Translated by Google) Update from March 30, 2019:What should I capitalize dear people ..The 5th visit to the two with Aloha and you arrive and just know, here you are right.A wonderful day of diving to Koh Racha Yai and Noi with 3 dives. Just come and enjoy THE TRUE DIVE ADVENTURE! You will like it. Thanks to Mark for the great day! :)-----------------Update 2nd November 2018:Today in German .. The fourth visit to Aloha Diving in Rawai on Phuket and again 5-star service! Despite relatively new, adverse circumstances by various large boat owners who try to bleed the smaller dive schools and wanted to attract strong in the price, Aloha can not get on and off now with much cozier boats and two deluxe dives in the sea. The boats are a little smaller, total number of people limited to 15, which makes it frankly much more pleasant and still enough space on board. Food as always great, the crew fantastic and what the Oberhammer is, the diving time is unlimited. The first of two dives was 70 minutes !!! The second about 60. Everything without stress, without hectic, every as long as he has air. This is taken care of. Not like on the big boats where you are constantly rushed. Alice made a great effort, everything in the smallest detail clarified and looked after wonderfully to me. Were a group of 2. What should one say more? Also Simon was as always with word and deed aside. One thing is for sure, Simon and Alice will see me every time I visit. Thank you for this beautiful, very fish-rich day and your exceptional, excellent service! Aloha and see you soon again!Richard___________________Update 27th March 2018:Third visit and stay at Aloha Diving Every time you're with them, you feel very familiar and close to them. First time for me to meet Alice, the wonderful lady in the office with Simon, who told me everything about my next possibilities in diving and adviced me perfectly. Had a great trip again to another spot for me. Phi Phi and Sharkpoint what a wonderful time, perfect conditions underwater and so on the boat. My instructor Tony was very helpful, experienced and open minded. Thanks to you too Tony! Last but not least, Simon, thanks for your good and safe organization!Guys, you're really great, thanks again and hope to dive with you soon!Best regards & AlohaRichard__________________ Update 20th Oct 2017:Decided one day before in the afternoon to join this great adventure again and had another very cool and exciting diving trip. Different locations than yesterday, same great boat, same great and nice crew (always very helpful), same perfect instructor as yesterday and a lot of other fishes (also a shark), reefs and so a wreck but times bigger than yesterday. It's a great tour guys from Aloha Diving! Thanks again for these amazing two days!Best regards!-----------------------------------Fun Diving with Aloha Diving on 19th Oct 2017 I was driving by the way to Rawai, looking for a diving company in Phuket and saw Aloha Diving. Simon (Part CEO / very nice and experienced) I just wanted to know about Fun Dives and the Open Water Course because I made my Open Water 4 weeks ago on Koh Tao. Decided to practice with Dives was a good decision. Klaus, my personal Instructor (very competent and experienced too) I heard about the region, I saw the beautiful fishes and a highlight dived through an old wreck. It was a perfect day, perfect conditions, perfect team, perfect boat with all inclusive. Fantastic breakfast, lunch, afternoon cakes and drinks for free.A very big thank you to Simon and Klaus! Hope to see you guys again Guys! It was a pleasure for me!(Original)Update vom 30. März 2019: Was soll ich noch groß schreiben liebe Leute..Der 5. BESUCH bei den Beiden mit Aloha und du kommst an und weißt einfach, hier bist du richtig. Ein wunderbarer Tauchtag nach Koh Racha Yai und Noi mit 3 Tauchgängen. Kommt einfach und genießt DAS WAHRE TAUCHABENTEUER! Es wird euch gefallen. Danke an Mark für den tollen Tag! :) -----------------Update 2nd November 2018: Heute mal auf Deutsch..Der vierte Besuch bei Aloha Diving in Rawai auf Phuket und mal wieder 5-Sterne Service! Trotz relativ neuer, widriger Umstände durch verschiedene große Bootbesitzer, die versuchen die kleineren Tauchschulen ausbluten zu lassen und kräftig im Preis anziehen wollten, lässt sich Aloha nicht kleinkriegen und sticht jetzt mit wesentlich gemütlicheren Booten und zwei Deluxe Tauchgängen in See. Die Boote sind etwas kleiner, Personenanzahl insgesamt auf 15 begrenzt, was es ehrlich gesagt wesentlich angenehmer macht und trotzdem genug Platz an Bord ist. Verpflegung wie immer super, die Crew fantastisch und was der Oberhammer ist, die Tauchzeit ist unbegrenzt. Der erste von zwei Tauchgängen war 70 Minuten!!! Der zweite ca. 60. Alles ohne Stress, ohne Hektik, jeder solange er Luft hat. Dafür wird gesorgt. Nicht wie auf den großen Booten wo man ständig gehetzt wird. Alice hat sich super viel Mühe gegeben, alles bis ins kleinste Detail er- und geklärt und sich wunderbar um mich gekümmert. Waren eine Gruppe von 2. Was soll man mehr sagen? Auch Simon stand wie immer mit Rat und Tat zur Seite. Eines ist sicher, Simon und Alice werden mich jedes Mal wiedersehen, wenn ich vor Ort bin. Danke euch für diesen schönen, sehr fischreichen Tag und euren außergewöhnlich, exzellenten Service! Aloha und bis bald wieder hoffentlich!Richard___________________Update 27th March 2018: Third visit and stay at Aloha Diving and amazing again like all the time before!

(Translated by Google) One Day Trip to Phi Phi Iceland, just a dream!Three dives were possible thanks to the good organization of Simon & the team. At Aloha Diving I felt immediately good hands. It is very important to safety, without dive computer is not in the water (with the equipment incl.). The not I knew from KohTao been that way. In addition, Simon has made great pictures for us, so I could concentrate entirely on diving and enjoying the dive, without disturbing camera in hand. Thank you, I recommend you to continue!(Original)One Day Trip auf die PhiPhi Island, einfach ein Traum! Drei Tauchgänge waren dank der Guten Organisation von Simon & dem Team möglich. Bei Aloha Diving habe ich mich sofort gut aufgehoben gefühlt. Es wird großen Wert auf Sicherheit gelegt, ohne Tauchcomputer gehts nicht ins Wasser (bei der Ausrüstung incl.) . Das kannte ich von KohTao bisher so nicht. Außerdem hat Simon für uns tolle Bilder gemacht, so konnte ich mich ganz auf das Tauchen und das genießen des Tauchgangs konzentrieren, ohne störende Kamera in der Hand. Vielen Dank, ich empfehle Euch gerne weiter!

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!

Alice and Simon supported us, including our 13 year old daughter, in successfully completing our SSI OWD Dive Course, Nitrox Course and many more questions, and made recommendations beyond the diving course. Thanks for the nice days!(Original)Absolut Empfehlenswert!!!Wer Wert auf überschaubare Tauchkurse/Tauchgänge legt und ggf. nicht NUR Tauchen möchte, sondern dies mit einer angenehmen Bootstour verbinden möchte und mit sehr netten, zuverlässigen und erfahrenen Guides einen oder mehrere erlebnisreiche Tage haben möchte, ist hier an der richtigen Adresse.

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 some amazing photos in the mix! They seriously went above and beyond, and set a really high bar to beat for our future dives!

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!

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!

(Translated by Google) A very, very good diving school! It is very familial and personal (around 10 people). The boat is a perfect size and the crew is very nice including the dive guides. For food is taken care of and vegans you get extra vegan food. We would go diving with Aloha Diving and go snorkeling! We had a great day and look forward to a next time!(Original)Eine sehr, sehr gute Tauchschule! Es ist sehr Familiäre und persönlich (um 10 Leute).

(Translated by Google) On a total of 4 days I had the great pleasure to go diving with Simon. It was a very relaxed atmosphere on a not crowded boat. I am glad to have chosen Aloha Diving to avoid the following things:- Mass processing during diving- strict schedules- strict tour requirementWhen Aloha Diving one reacts spontaneously to the weather and utilization of a dive site, where to go. This makes it an unforgettable experience!Thanks to the team!(Original)An insgesamt 4 Tagen hatte ich die große Freude, gemeinsam mit Simon tauchen zu gehen. Es war eine sehr entspannte Atmosphäre auf einem nicht überfüllten Boot. Ich bin froh, mich für Aloha Diving entschieden zu haben, um folgenden Dingen aus dem Weg zu gehen: - Massenabfertigung beim Tauchen- strikte Zeitpläne- strkte TourenvorgabeBei Aloha Diving reagiert man spontan nach Wetter und Auslastung eines Tauchplatzes, wohin man fährt. Dies macht es zu einem unvergessenem Erlebnis!Danke ans Team!

(Translated by Google) After a 2 week holiday with the family, which should take place halfway with the family and sightseeing, should be spent on the other half with diving.Before vacation I have already looked roughly, what there were for diving centers near our hotel and with top reviews you also found Aloha diving.Arrived in Phuket - Nai Harn, we also went over to Alice and Simon.Despite the fact that we were very spontaneous for diving at Aloha Diving, we were greeted warmly and it was at our request that we would like to go diving every second day immediately.Also the wish that I and my brother wanted to do the Deep Diving course was fulfilled immediately.The transport of our diving baggage and ours to the port was managed by Alice and Simon. The dives with Alice and Simon were just great, from the dive sites to detailed briefings and of course the dives themselves!Simon, who led the course of my brother and me, can only be praised, super training that was super fun!The boat with which Aloha Diving works together to do the 2 Dives a day has always been friendly and helpful. There was at any time for the physical well taken care of, whether fruit snacks, lunch and of course drinks (water, soft drinks or the Dekobierchen for the return to the port)Finally, our diving equipment was allowed to dry in Aloha Diving in the drying room, so it did not have to get wet in the plane to Germany.Conclusion:I will definitely come back and book with Alice and Simon my dive trips in Phuket, because everything is just right (yes, the price)!(Original)Nach einem 2 Wöchigen Urlaub mit der Familie, der zur Hälfte mit der Familie und sightseeing stattfinden sollte, sollte zur anderen Hälfte mit tauchen verbracht werden.Vor Urlaubsantritt habe ich schon mal grob geschaut, was es für Tauchbasen in der nähe unseres Hotels gab und mit Top Bewertungen fand man auch Aloha Diving.Angekommen in Phuket - Nai Harn sind wir bei Alice und Simon auch vorbei gegangen. Trotz dessen das wir sehr spontan zum Tauchen bei Aloha Diving waren, wurden wir super herzlich empfangen und es wurde auf unseren Wunsch das wir gerne jeden 2ten Tag tauchen gehen wollten sofort eingegangen.Auch der Wunsch das ich und mein Bruder gerne den Specalty Kurs Deep Diving dabei machen wollten, wurde sofort dabei erfüllt.Der Transport von unserem Tauchgepäck und unsereins zum Hafen wurde von Alice und Simon super gemanagt.Die Tauchgänge mit Alice und Simon waren einfach Spitze, von den Tauchplätzen über ausführliche Briefings und natürlich die Tauchgänge an sich!Simon der den Kurs von meinem Bruder und mir geleitet hat, kann man nur loben, super Ausbildung die mega Spaß gemacht hat!Das Schiffchen mit dem Aloha Diving zusammen arbeitet, um die 2 Dives am Tag zu machen, war auch immer freundlich und hilfsbereit. Dort war zu jederzeit für das leibliche wohl gesorgt, ob Fruchtsnacks, Mittagessen und natürlich auch Getränke (Wasser, Softdrinks oder auch das Dekobierchen für die Rückfahrt zum Hafen)Zum Schluss durften unsere Tauchausrüstung noch bei Aloha Diving im Trockenraum trocknen, damit es nicht nass in den Flieger nach Deutschland musste.Fazit:Ich werde definitiv wiederkommen und bei Alice und Simon meine Tauchausflüge in Phuket buchen, da dort einfach alles stimmt (Jaaa auch der Preis)!!

(Translated by Google) I was with my two sons in search of a diving station "on site". By coincidence we saw "Aloha Diving" on Ra Wai and inquired there. The first contact with Alice was immediately very personal and familiar. All our requests (only a second day a dive trip, transport from the hotel to the dive boat and back, discount for three people) were fulfilled immediately. Every morning we were picked up from the hotel in Nai Harn to the port in Chalong, where the dive boat was already waiting for us. It belongs to "Klaus", who already lives in Thailand for over 40 years and dives with his 78 years still daily (without suit!). The boat is relatively small - we were a maximum of 20 people (including crew) on board. I found that very enjoyable, as it created a personal atmosphere, which was characterized by the fact that everyone knew each other and also came in contact (in German or in English). We were all dives (!) Accompanied by the same guide - Simon - and the diving group did not change the whole time. New divers were led by other guides. I really liked this continuity. After our last dive, Alice and Simon took our equipment, washed it out at the Ra Wai dive center, put it in the drying room to deliver our dried and washed suits to the hotel the following evening. What more do you want?All in all, we were extremely satisfied. If we come to Thailand again, we would sign up again at "Aloha Diving".(Original)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.

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!!!

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! 😊

(Translated by Google) We only once had the pleasure to dive with Alpha Diving.I have to say, everything was great.First we were at the dive shop near Rawei Beach. There Simon and Alice took a lot of time and explained everything to us before we booked the diving day. Also, they have us hints that the King Cruiser depending on the day the view can be good or very bad.But we were very lucky. Only very slight current and visibility from the surface to the wreck. The wreck itself is beautifully overgrown with many schools of fish and had a very nice dive there.The second dive at Stark Point was mixed in the beginning, but then a huge swarm of yellow snappers emerged.On the third dive on Koh Doc Mai Simon advised us not to dive like all of the dive boat east of the island but to circumnavigate it to the west. We have seen a lot here. Baracuda swarm, lionfish, stonefish etc. The whole day was great, as we had no waves.Also, I have to praise Simon very much, all around care, exact instruction before each dive with photos and under water much found for photos and videos.Unfortunately, the own dive boat for a maximum of 15 divers at the moment was dry, so we would have to dodge a large boat. But despite fully booked space was always available, and the food on board was very good and the crew was always very hard.I can recommend Aloha Diving 100%.I know what I'm talking about since I've been diving for 33 years and have experienced a lot.Harry(Original)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

(Translated by Google) It was absolutely amazing!I am here for the second time this year with the two great people Simon and Alice. You can just feel good with them. They make a huge effort to make the holiday and the dives as an unforgettable experience.With a scooter you are very flexible on Phuket. They showed us the most beautiful places of the island, the best restaurants and much more.Diving at PhiPhi, King Cruiser, Anemone Reef etc. are some of the most dive sites I know.The speedboat trips Phang Nga (James Bond Island) and PhiPhi are also highly recommended.Recently there is a resort next to the main house and the exchange school with 5 bungalows made of bamboo. If you want to enjoy the tranquility and nature, but still want to be close to the action, comes here fully to the course. I can easily imagine diving with a diving club or a group at this resort.Many thanks for everything!!!(Original)Es war wieder einmal der absolute Wahnsinn!Ich bin dieses Jahr schon das zweite mal hier bei den zwei tollen Menschen Simon und Alice. Man kann sich bei ihnen einfach nur wohlfühlen. Sie geben sich riesig Mühe den Urlaub und die Tauchgänge als unvergessliches Erlebnis zu gestalten. Mit einem Roller ist man auf Phuket sehr flexibel unterwegs. Sie zeigten uns die schönsten Plätze der Insel, die besten Restaurants und vieles mehr. Das Tauchen bei PhiPhi, King Cruiser, Anemonen Reef etc. sind einige der fischreichsten Tauchplätze die ich kenne. Die Speedbootausflüge Phang Nga (James Bond Insel) und PhiPhi sind auch sehr zu empfehlen.Seit neustem gibt es ein Resort gleich neben dem Haupthaus und der Tauschschule mit 5 Bungalows aus Bambus. Wer die Ruhe und Natur geniessen möchte, aber trotzdem Nahe am Geschehen sein möchte, kommt auch hier voll zum Zuge. Ich kann mir sehr gut vorstellen mit einem Tauchclub oder einer Gruppe in diesem Resort einen Tauchurlaub zu verbringen. Vielen Dank für alles!!!

(Translated by Google) Aloha! :)When we came to Phuket, we had 0 diving experience, but still wanted to explore the underwater world and enjoy the weightless feeling!We chose the Open Water Diver, which we would recommend 100%!Day 1: Theory (also learned in advance with an app) + learn the skills in the pool (the pool is like a giant aquarium for divers :))Day 2: First, second and third dives in the sea (food on the dive boat was more than enough and very delicious).Day 3: Fourth, fifth and sixth dives in the sea (same boat).The dive sites were really great!We could see many species of fish and even a turtle.Our guide Simon always gave us a secure feeling and gladly explained open questions. In addition, he is familiar with many marine animals, which was talked about every feedback session after each dive. We had a great time and that will not be our last diving course :)(Original)Aloha! :) Als wir nach Phuket kamen, hatten wir 0 Taucherfahrung, wollten aber trotzdem die Unterwasserwelt erkunden und das schwerelose Gefühl genießen!Wir entschieden uns für den Open Water Diver, welchen wir zu 100% weiterempfehlen würden! Tag 1: Theorie (wird auch schon im vorhinein mit einer App gelernt) + erlernen der Skills im Pool ( der Pool ist wie ein riesen Aquarium für taucher :) )Tag 2: Erster, zweiter und dritter Tauchgang im Meer ( Verpflegung auf dem Tauchboot war mehr als ausreichend und sehr lecker ).Tag 3: Vierter, fünfter und sechster Tauchgang im Meer (selbes Boot).Die Tauchplätze waren echt Klasse!Wir konnten zahlreiche Fischarten und sogar eine Schildkröte sehen.Unser Guide Simon gab uns immer ein sicheres Gefühl und erklärte offene Fragen gerne nocheinmal. Außerdem kennt er sich mit vielen Meerestieren aus, über die bei jedem Feedbackgespräch nach jedem Tauchgang gesprochen wurde.Wir hatten eine super Zeit und das wird bestimmt nicht unser letzter Tauchkurs bleiben :)

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.

(Translated by Google) Absolutely one of the best diving schools I have met so far. The equipment is really impeccable and very new. Also, the fact that every diver on a dive own dive computer at no extra charge (in the cost of the rental fee of the entire equipment included), I have not experienced so before. During the dives even photos of the dive master are made, which are made available to each diver for free. Also a great additional service as I think. In addition, a very good billing is offered and in general, the organizational processes are almost all paperless, which I found to be very pleasant. The boat we went out with was also in top condition. The crew was very helpful and the food on the ship was delicious and there was a lot of choice. Altogether one notices with the diving school that one works here very professionally and service-oriented. Thanks to Marc for the great diving days and to Simon for the detailed advice! We will gladly come back and recommend to anyone who is on Phuket and would like to dive here.(Original)Absolut eine der besten Tauchschulen, die ich bis jetzt kennengelernt habe. Das Equipment ist wirklich einwandfrei und sehr neuwertig. Auch der Fakt, dass jeder Taucher bei einem Tauchgang einen eigenen Tauchcomputer ohne Aufpreis (in den Kosten für die Leihgebühr des gesamten Equipments inkludiert) zur Verfügung gestellt bekommt, habe ich so vorher auch noch nicht erlebt. Während der Tauchgänge werden sogar Fotos von dem Dive Master gemacht, die jedem Taucher kostenlos zur Verfügung gestellt werden. Auch eine tolle Zusatzleistung wie ich finde. Zudem wird eine sehr gute Rechnungsabwicklung geboten und generell sind die organisatorischen Abläufe fast alle papierlos, was ich als sehr angenehm empfunden habe. Das Boot mit dem wir rausgefahren sind war ebenfalls in einem top Zustand. Die Crew war sehr hilfsbereit und das Essen auf dem Schiff war sehr lecker und es gab eine große Auswahl. Insgesamt merkt man bei der Tauchschule, dass hier sehr professionell und serviceorientiert gearbeitet wird. Danke an dieser Stelle an Marc für die beiden tollen Tauchtage und an Simon für die ausführliche Beratung! Wir kommen gerne wieder und empfehlen auch jedem der auf Phuket ist und tauchen möchte sich hier mal blicken zu lassen.

(Translated by Google) Care and organization at its finestIn conclusion, one can say: super dive center with top personal care; for beginners as well as experienced divers unreservedly recommended. If you want an all-inclusive package is right here.On our first diving stay in Thailand, we decided after a thorough internet research for Aloha Diving and made exactly the right decision.The basis of Alice and Simon is characterized by an excellent organization and individual care. This includes taking care of the equipment and transfers.Because of our "Songkran" our day trip to the King Cruiser had failed, we were rebooked at short notice and realized the tour on another ship.But also outside the diving there were great tips for leisure activities and food. A highlight was certainly the whale shark on the first dive. And as usual, I just did not have my camera with me. Simon had banned the beautiful guy but on his stick and I like the pictures (along with pictures that you never have, namely by yourself) made available. Thank you for that.(Original)Betreuung und Organisation vom FeinstenAls Fazit kann man sagen: super Tauchbasis mit top persönlicher Betreuung; für Einsteiger aber auch erfahrene Taucher uneingeschränkt zu empfehlen. Wer ein Rundumsorglos-Paket möchte ist hier genau richtig.Bei unserem ersten Tauchaufenthalt in Thailand haben wir uns nach reiflicher Internetrecherche für Aloha-Diving entschieden und damit genau die richtige Entscheidung getroffen.Die Basis von Alice und Simon zeichnet sich durch eine hervorragende Organisation und individuelle Betreuung aus. Dies umfasst auch das Kümmern um das Equipment und die Transfers.Da aufgrund „Songkran“ unsere Tagestour zur King Cruiser ausgefallen war, wurde wir kurzfristig umgebucht und die Tour auf einem anderen Schiff realisiert.Aber auch außerhalb des Tauchens gab’s super Tipps zur Freizeitgestaltung und Essen.Ein Highlight war sicher auch der Walhai beim ersten Tauchgang. Und wie üblich hatte ich gerade da meine Kamera noch nicht dabei. Simon hatte den Prachtburschen aber auf seinen Stick gebannt und mir die Bilder (zusammen mit Bildern die man sonst nie hat, nämlich von einem selbst) gerne zur Verfügung gestellt. Herzlichen Dank dafür.

(Translated by Google) Excellent German-speaking dive center with its own dive tank;))I was on Phuket for 3 weeks and was looking for a German-speaking dive center. I came across Aloha Diving through the internet, which I finally decided on because of the good reviews.I have to say, the dive center lives up to your reputation.I had asked in advance by mail a request and also very quickly got an answer. Simon and Alice are very conscientious and can actually respond to (almost) every wish. I had then booked a 4-day dive package, but then could still be customized. For example, I could choose to do three dives in one day with the large dive boat (about 28 dives of different bases) or rather with the small boat (the Poseidon of Claus between 3 and 10 dives) very relaxed and family two dives absolve. The desired dates were (of course depending on the diving spots) freely selectable. For example, I had to postpone my scheduled appointments from the second week of vacation to the third, as I had a mild outward ear infection. That was no problem at all.Although I am already an experienced diver, but if I wanted to do an apprenticeship again, I think I would do that here too. By the own dive container (a container converted to the 3m deep pool, with platform and window to watch) makes the pool training certainly twice as much fun. For example, I was able to try out a new mask, or even test a full-face mask as part of a small event. Thanks a lot for this.Incidentally, right next to the base is a Thai bar with a small restaurant, so that the physical well-being is not too short. By the way, Roxanne, the owner, can cook well;) I must also mention that I liked it so much that I was not only there for diving, but as mentioned also for a small test event (with a free buffet) and also just to chat and celebrate. Be sure to show Simon and Alice the sunshine bar. Thank you very much, you two.If I'm in the area again, then definitely Aloha Diving.Keep it up...(Original)Hervorragende deutschsprachige Tauchbasis mit eigenem Tauchtainer ;))Ich war für 3 Wochen auf Phuket und hatte eine deutschsprachige Tauchbasis gesucht. Über das Internet bin ich auf Aloha Diving gestoßen, für die ich mich letztendlich aufgrund der guten Rezensionen entschieden hatte.Ich muss sagen, die Tauchbasis wird Ihrem guten Ruf gerecht.Ich hatte im Vorfeld per Mail eine Anfrage gestellt und auch sehr schnell Antwort bekommen. Simon und Alice sind da sehr gewissenhaft und können eigentlich auf (fast) alle Wünsche eingehen. Ich hatte dann ein 4-Tages-Tauchpaket gebucht, dass dann aber noch individuell angepasst werden konnte. So konnte ich zum Beispiel wählen, ob ich mit dem großen Tauchboot (ca. 28 Tauchgäste verschiedener Basen) drei Tauchgänge an einem Tag mache oder lieber mit dem kleinen Boot (die Poseidon von Claus zwischen 3 und 10 Tauchgäste) ganz entspannt und familiär zwei Tauchgänge absolviere.Auch die gewünschten Termine waren (natürlich abhängig von den Tauchspots) frei wählbar. So musste ich zum Beispiel meine geplanten Termine von der zweiten Urlaubswoche in die dritte verschieben, da ich eine leichte äußere Ohrenentzündung bekommen hatte. Das war überhaupt kein Problem.Ich bin zwar bereits erfahrener Taucher, aber wenn ich nochmal eine Ausbildung mache wollte, würde ich denke ich das auch hier machen. Durch den eigenen Tauchtainer (ein Container zum 3m tiefen Schwimmbecken umfunktioniert, mit Plattform und Fenster zum zuschauen) macht die Pool-Ausbildung sicher doppelt soviel Spaß. Hier konnte ich zum Beispiel gleich mal eine neue Maske ausprobieren oder im Rahmen eines kleinen Events sogar eine Vollgesichtsmaske testen. Vielen Dank dafür.Gleich neben der Basis ist übrigens eine Thailändische Bar mit kleinem Restaurant, so dass auch das leibliche Wohl nicht zu kurz kommt. Roxanne, die Besitzerin, kann übrigens hervorragend kochen ;)Erwähnen muss ich wohl auch noch, dass es mir hier so gut gefallen hat, dass ich nicht nur zum Tauchen da war, sondern wie erwähnt auch zu einem kleinen Testevent (mit kostenlosem Buffet) und auch einfach mal so zum Quatschen und auch feiern. Lasst Euch unbedingt von Simon und Alice mal die Sunshine-Bar zeigen. Auch hierfür vielen Dank Ihr zwei.Wenn ich wieder in der Gegend bin, dann auf jeden Fall auch bei Aloha Diving.Weiter so...

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!

(Translated by Google) We booked a trial scuba diving course that included 3 dives. The boat was not crowded, the instructors were great and the equipment was also great. We had a great day and received great pictures. When we return to Phuket, we will definitely be back. Only to be recommended.(Original)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.

Simon machte eine hervorragende, langsame Wiedereinführung und ich hatte sechs sehr schöne Tauchgänge mit ihm.Jederzeit empfehlenswert!

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!

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.

We went with the family (2 adults, 1 teenager) on three tours with 3 dives on each tour. We had a great time. Dive instructors (Alice, Simon and Marc) did a fantastic job. The equipment was in perfect conditions, email communication was in "real-time" . Organisation (hotel pick-up, boat, briefing) very nice. The boat, the crew was excellent. If I could give once in a year a 6 star award, I would give it to Aloha diving!!!

(Translated by Google) went as a family with Aloha 3 times on a diving trip. Each dive trip included 3 dives. The boat and the crew were excellent, helpful and the equipment have always perfectly prepared. Similarly, the organization of the fountains, dive team was sensational. Also snorkelers were accompanied. Alice, Simon and Marc were great dive guides. Its preparation, the equipment were perfect. Email communication was prompt and facilitated everything. I can not imagine that there is a better base to me!And we ended up having a lot of fun.When I come again to Phuket I will be back with Aloha diving.(Original)waren als Familie mit Aloha 3 mal auf einem Tauchausflug. Jeder Tauchausflug beinhaltete 3 Tauchgänge. Das Boot und die Crew waren hervorragend, hilfsbereit und haben das Equipment jederzeit perfekt vorbereitet. Ebenso war die Organisation der Springbrunnen, Tauchteams sensationell. Auch Schnorchler wurden begleitet. Alice, Simon und Marc waren tolle Tauchguides. Deren Vorbereitung, das Equipment waren perfekt. Emailkommunikation war prompt und erleichterte alles. Ich kann mir nicht vorstellen, dass es eine bessere Base gibt! Und letztendlich hatten wir eine Menge Spass.Wenn ich nochmal nach Phuket komme werde ich wieder mit Aloha Tauchen.

(Translated by Google) On July 25th, 2017 I had the pleasure to do a day trip with three dives with Alice as dive guide. I couldn't have imagined it better!Thanks to good reviews on various portals, I came across the two in search of a new dive provider - and was not disappointed!Everything was super easy and smooth. Everything was discussed with Simon in advance, and everything regarding the papers was handled absolutely thoroughly and neatly. There were no questions left. Swiss precision.I was also not wrong with my CMAS certification. One only has to mention that with a one-star / bronze certification, a maximum diving depth of 20m was observed. But for the diving area directly around Phuket this is m.n.n. also absolutely sufficient.Other dive guides / companies did not take the paper and maximum depth or safety deco stops as seriously as Aloha Diving.I have to mention that I have been coming to Phuket for diving in the off-season for years and switched from another provider to Aloha Diving this year - and my expectations were exceeded by far!You can tell that Alice and Simon live their dream job, they are professionals with a lot of passion and as a customer you can confidently rely on them.That definitely sets them apart from the numerous competitors.I have never had such a detailed briefing before and after the dives and it was controlled and safe in the water at all times. No chaos as in other groups - everything smooth and easy, even with strong currents on the King Cruiser wreck and waves at Shark Point.In addition, I have never seen such enthusiasm for diving, the underwater world of the area and the job of running a dive shop in a highly competitive market with any dive guide on Phuket.Last but not least, I got really good photos for download via Dropbox link that Alice had taken of me and the fantastic underwater world on our dives. What more do you want? I was and am really excited.Despite the excellent service, the prices were at a favorable level compared to other companies, the rental equipment was up-to-date and in great condition. The transfer to and from the pier was also absolutely reliable.In short, I felt completely comfortable and in good hands and will definitely go diving with Aloha Diving again and recommend it to everyone with a clear conscience.As a customer, you can also stay excited about future Alice and Simon projects. There are still a number of innovations and ideas that make Aloha Diving stand out from the competition.I wish both the best of luck, luck and always good air!(Original)Ich hatte am 25.7.2017 das Vergnügen, mit Alice als Tauchguide einen Tages-Trip mit drei Tauchgängen zu absolvieren. Ich hätte es mir nicht besser vorstellen können!Durch gute Bewertungen auf verschiedenen Portalen bin ich auf der Suche nach einem neuen Tauchanbieter auf die beiden gestoßen - und wurde dabei nicht enttäuscht!Es lief alles super einfach und reibungslos. Im Vorfeld wurde alles mit Simon besprochen, auch bei den Papieren wurde alles absolut gründlich und ordentlichst abgewickelt. Es blieben keine Fragen offen. Schweizer Präzision eben.Auch mit meinem CMAS-Brevet war ich hier nicht falsch. Man muss nur erwähnen, dass mit einem ein-Stern/Bronze-Brevet auf eine maximale Tauchtiefe von 20m geachtet wurde. Aber für das Tauchgebiet direkt um Phuket ist das m.M.n. auch absolut ausreichend.Andere Tauchguides/-firmen nahmen es mit den Papieren und maximaler Tiefe, bzw. Sicherheits-Dekostopps nicht so ernst wie Aloha Diving.Ich muss dazu erwähnen, dass ich seit Jahren in der Nebensaison zum Tauchen nach Phuket komme und in diesem Jahr von einem anderen Anbieter zu Aloha Diving wechselte - und meine Erwartungen wurden bei weitem noch übertroffen!Man merkt, dass Alice und Simon Ihren Traumjob leben, sie sind Profis mit viel Herzblut dabei und als Kunde kann man sich getrost auf die beiden verlassen.Das hebt sie definitiv von den zahlreichen Mitbewerbern ab.Ich hatte noch nie so ein detailliertes Briefing vor und nach den Tauchgängen und es war zu jeder Zeit im Wasser kontrolliert und sicher. Kein Chaos wie in anderen Gruppen - alles smooth und easy, selbst bei stärkerer Strömung am King Cruiser Wrack und Wellengang beim Shark Point .Zudem ich habe noch bei keinem Tauchguide auf Phuket so einen Enthusiasmus für das Tauchen an sich, die Unterwasserwelt der Umgebung und den Job, ein Tauchgeschäft in einem hart umkämpften Markt zu führen feststellen können.Zu guter letzt bekam ich sogar noch richtig gute Fotos per Dropbox-Link zum Download zur Verfügung gestellt, die Alice auf unseren Tauchgängen von mir und der traumhaften Unterwasserwelt gemacht hatte. Was will man noch mehr? Ich war und bin echt begeistert.Dabei waren die Preise trotz des herausragendem Service auf einem günstigem Niveau im Vergleich zu anderen Unternehmen, das Miet-Equipment war aktuell und prima in Schuss. Auch der Transfer zum und vom Pier lief absolut zuverlässig.Kurzum, ich fühlte mich rundum wohl und gut aufgehoben und werde daher auf jeden Fall wieder mit Aloha Diving tauchen gehen und kann es auch jedem mit gutem Gewissen empfehlen.Auch, was zukünftige Projekte von Alice und Simon angeht, darf man als Kunde gespannt bleiben. Da kommt noch einiges an Innovationen und Ideen, die Aloha Diving von den Mitbewerbern hervorheben.Ich wünsche beiden viel Erfolg, Glück sowie immer gut Luft!

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!

(Translated by Google) In my first holiday in Thailand (Phuket) I wanted, of course, not to dive miss. Since I do not have a diving certificate was only the option of scuba diving lesson to me. I found out through the Internet to Aloha Diving. Here, the German-language websites was a plus for me.So I sat down with Aloha Diving via E-Mail. After a short time successes immediate response and have thus been able to clarify everything for my trip (transfer, meeting place, time) and my personal data (height, weight, age, etc.). On the day of the trip I was picked up on time from the hotel and it went directly to the harbor where Alice (My Tauchgiude) already waited. From there it went even directly to the boat and the trip Launched. On board everything was explained and understood about diving me. arrived at the destination it was already going directly into pure diving equipment the last safety checks and I was always water and the diving trip begang. Alice has been careful at all times to me, yet left my curiosity to explore run wild.What should also be mentioned that this trip (to Racha Iceland) included three dives at different places and I always got to watch something else.It was a great experience.Should I be again in Thailand, then a dive trip with Aloha Diving is definitely going to happen.(Original)In meinem ersten Urlaub in Thailand (Phuket) wollte ich mir natürlich das Tauchen nicht entgehen lassen. Da ich keinen Tauchschein besitze blieb mir nur die option des Schnuppertauchens. Ich bin durch das Internet auf Aloha Diving aufmerksam geworden. Hierbei war für mich die Deutschsprachige Webseit ein Pluspunkt. Daher setzte ich mich mit Aloha Diving über E-Mail in Kontakt. Nach kurzer zeit erfolge sofort eine Antwort und haben so alles für meinen Ausflug klären können ( Transfer, Treffpunkt, Uhrzeit) und Angaben zu meiner Person (Größe, Gewicht, Alter etc.). Am Tag des Ausflugs wurde ich Pünktlich vom Hotel abgeholt und es ging direkt zum Hafen wo Alice (Mein Tauchgiude) schon Wartete. Von da aus ging es auch schon direkt zum Boot und der Ausflug Startete. Am Board wurden mir alles ausführlich und verständlich über das Tauchen erklärt. Am Ziel angekommen ging es auch schon direkt los rein in Tauchausrüstung die letzten sicherheitschecks und schon war ich immer wasser und der Tauchausflug begang. Alice hat zu jederzeit auf mich geachtet, dennoch meine neugier zu erkunden freien lauf gelassen. Was auch zu erwähnen ist, dass dieser Ausflug 3 Tauchgänge an verschieden Orte (um Racha Island) beinhaltete und ich immer etwas anderes zusehen bekam.Es war ein super Erlebnis. Sollte ich nochmal in Thailand sein, dann wird ein Tauchausflug mit Aloha Diving definitiv stattfinden.

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.

I cannot recommend this company highly enough! My husband and I went to Phuket June 2017. Our Dive instructor Alice was simply amazing! Very professional, fun, knowledgeable, an excellent diver and most importantly put safety above all else. While my husband and I have our Open Water Dive certificate we do not have many dives under our weight belts and to dive with such a professional was an absolute pleasure. Alice took us from being novice divers to the next level, her guidance and training has really elevated our diving skills. We had booked 2 days with Alice to do 6 dives on our last dive I convinced my husband to spent our last day in Phuket with Alice diving - best decision ever! So we ending up doing 9 dives in total and each dive was a magical experience.Before each dive Alice went through the dive site with us on the boat, spoke about our plan for that dive, what we could expect and the marine life we were likely to see. Planning our dives was just part and parcel of her professionalism and her love of diving and the local dive sites. Our equipment was of the highest standard and she provided us with dive computers which was a first for us, no going back now. In fact I have asked for a dive computer for my upcoming birthday :) Our transport to and from our hotel was hassle free and organised by Aloha Diving. Alice has a close professional relationship with the boat crew and our boat was excellent and the crew and leader were very helpful and outstanding. We so very much appreciated having a dive instruction for just the two of us and it made us feel very safe and comfortable. Alice was able to plan our dives for maximum fun and safety.If your planning a dive trip to Phuket do not go past Aloha diving you will not be disappointed. Alice thank you so much for our experiences we will treasure them! I have already starting planning next years' trip and I will certainly be diving with you again. Until then take care.Much loveKaty & Nick

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. We'll be diving with them next year when we return to Thailand.

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!

My boyfriend and I went diving with Aloha in April and had the best time! He was new to diving, so we did the Try Scuba Diving full day boat trip. On the way out to our first (of three) dive location, Simon, our instructor, reviewed with us the basics of the equipment and then went into the fundamentals of diving. Once in the water, he made sure my boyfriend was comfortable with the techniques and the equipment. We both loved it and highly recommend Aloha and Simon. There was lots to see and Simon took great photos of us and the sea life, all of which were sent to us the next day at no charge.
Mark E.
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.
Daria P.
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.

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 very comfortable during the whole dive. We did 3 dives in different sites around the Racha islands. We loved it!!!

Wow! I wanted to scuba dive and 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!

Im Februar 2017 hatte ich mein erstes Erlebnis in Sachen fun diving mit Alice und Simon von Aloha Diving und kann dieses Tauchzentrum nur weiter empfehlen. Da ich mit einem anderen Zentrum auf Phuket zwei Tage vorher nicht so zufrieden war, war ich anfangs skeptisch. Nachdem sich Alice dann aber die Zeit nahm alle meine Fragen (und die meiner Freundin, die ein Schnuppertauchen machen wollte) geduldig, freundlich, professionell - und mit Humor - zu beantworten, waren meine/unsere Zweifel aus dem Weg geräumt. Zu Recht, wie sich danach während des 1tägigen fun divings/Schnuppertauchens herausstelte! Es wurde gehalten was versprochen wurde (was leider nicht selbstverständlich ist) und der Bootsausflug mit drei Tauchgängen war rundum ein tolles Erlebnis. Schade dass ich am übernächsten Tag schon abreisen musste, sonst wäre ich sicher nochmal mit Aloha Diving tauchen gegangen. Beim nächsten Mal dann! 😀Danke an Alice, Simon und natürlich unseren guide Marc für das schöne Erlebnis! Alles Gute für euch und bis bald!

The first contact via e-mail went smoothly and my mails were answered within a short time competently and comprehensively. The tours on the boat were very well organized and everything worked out perfectly. Professional as well as human, the two are simply worthy of praise. Alice's initial anxiety was completely taken away from me with her calm and balanced manner. They both do it with a great deal of passion, which is reflected in the quality of the courses. Many thanks to Alice and Simon for awakening my passion for diving and for making my holiday a memorable one!(Original)Wenn ich könnte würde ich ihnen 6 Sterne geben!

Die anfängliche Angst wurde mir von Alice vollständig genommen mit ihrer ruhigen und ausgeglichenen Art. Sie machen es beide mit sehr viel Leidenschaft, was sich in der Qualität der Kurse wiederspiegelt. Vielen Dank an Alice und Simon, dass ihr in mir die Leidenschaft für das Tauchen geweckt und meinen Urlaub zu einem unvergesslichen Erlebnis gemacht habt!

(Translated by Google) TOP TOP dive center and training center. Very professional education, go intensely to the needs, without being rip-off! Also before-after-diving are the tips and help with excursions, sightseeing, eating out, or just rent scooters, just TOPP! You are looking for the right accommodation and they know each other. Conclusion: a base where the quality-security-service-guest-experience etc. is at the very top. > rarely found in Thailand selten in Thailand zu finden< Menschlich-Sympathisch-mit hohem Fachwissen.E I N F A C H T O P P

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!

Alice and Simon run a very professional dive center where you feel really comfortable. Our daughter completed the advanced course with her and was very satisfied. She learned a lot and enjoyed it to the fullest.Alice and Simon did not just help us underwater. They gave us restaurant tips, organized trips, booked accommodation and scooters and showed us everything. It was not just diving at any dive center it was scuba diving with friends!We will definitely come back!(Original)Wir haben gut 2 Wochen in Thailand verbracht und waren begeistert!

Unsere Tochter absolvierte bei Ihnen den Advanced Kurs und war sehr zufrieden. Sie hat viel gelernt und hat es in vollen Zügen genossen. Alice und Simon haben uns nicht nur unter Wasser geholfen. Sie haben uns Restaurants-Tips gegeben, Ausflüge organisiert, Unterkunft und Roller gebucht und uns alles gezeigt. Es war nicht nur Tauchen bei irgendeiner Tauchbasis es war Tauchen bei Freunden!Wir werden sicher wiederkommen!

(Translated by Google) Unfortunately had only one day and 3 dives with Alice, but were completely thrilled: answers by mail usually within an hour, in advance all important clarified, simple online deposit and good information for the diving day given.On the day of the TG, the shuttle started from the hotel, everything was perfect until the organization on board. We were only two in the group, Alice gave us a great brief and beside all the animals that she showed us, we made beautiful photos of us under water.Everything was super relaxed, definitely recommended. Aloha and greetings from MunichAndy and Patrick(Original)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

(Translated by Google) This is the first review we write after a vacation. Not because we were never asked before, but because the team really deserved it.We had 4 great diving days. They are flexible according to their own possibilities and try to fulfill all wishes. The equipment is in top condition and you get a dive computer at no extra charge for the dive.The two have an eye for life under water and find even the smallest animals that are worth marveling at. For example baby shrimp - we would never have found it in life: DFor the dives always a camera was taken and there were so great souvenir photos for us.The two also like to give tips on what to do in the area, where to eat and how to get from A to B.At the next visit to Thailand, we will certainly drop by again.Greetings Sandra + Alex(Original)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

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 :)

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.

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

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!

(Translated by Google) My girlfriend and I were in Thailand in May 2016, looking for a diving school to get a diving certificate.After a long review of the respective options (which dive course and especially which diving school), we decided then for the "Open Water Diving Course" at Aloha Diving, where they were kindly received by Alice and Simon and very well taken care of.What we both liked very much was the luxury of having a diving instructor, who calmly took the time to explain everything about diving and to answer our questions :)Thank you for the great dives in which we have seen many different fish and corals!best regardsPaul & Nathalie(Original)Meine Freundin und ich waren im Mai 2016 in Thailand, und haben uns nach einer Tauchschule umgesehen, um einen Tauchschein zu machen.Nach längerer Überprüfung der jeweiligen Optionen (welcher Tauchkurs und vor allem welche Tauchschule), haben wir uns dann für den "Open Water Tauchkurs" bei Aloha Diving entschieden, und sind dort von Alice und Simon freundlich aufgenommen und sehr gut betreut worden.Was uns beiden sehr gut gefiel, war der Luxus zu zweit einen Tauchlehrer zu haben, welcher sich in aller Ruhe die Zeit nahm, uns alles rund ums Tauchen zu erklären und unsere Fragen zu beantworten :)Vielen Dank für die tollen Tauchgänge, in denen wir zahlreiche verschiedene Fische und Korallen gesehen haben! Liebe GrüßePaul & Nathalie

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.

(Translated by Google) We were in March 2016 for the second time with Alice and Simon from Aloha Ocean Adventures and have taken two more friends.Our friends, absolute beginner beginners, under the competent hand of Alice and Simon have made their Open Water and Advanced diving license and were able to immerse themselves in a whole new world by the great care of the two.During my stay, I did my apprenticeship as a Divemaster and was well taken care of, challenged and well prepared for the future of professional diving. A better education and care than at Aloha Ocean Adventures we have not experienced at various dive centers.Whether it's finding suitable equipment, planning your vacation, finding a suitable accommodation or just beautiful destinations ... Alice and Simon are always helpful in all topics and a competent partner.The dive center is family and equipped with very well maintained rental equipment. Also the possibility to test masks, fins, etc., if you want to gain something new, there is.Now for diving: We were two weeks on daily boat trips to dive sites such as: Koh Doc Mai, PhiPhi, Racha Noi, Racha Yai, King Cruiser, Shark Point and many more .... The underwater world of Adamannensee is super diverse. From large Schnapperschwärmen, about small snails, sea snakes, turtles, giant groupers and many, many others we had super beautiful, sometimes very demanding dives.Our holiday highlight was in addition to my successful training our dive safari over 4 days and 4 nights to the Similan Islands, Koh Bon, Koh Tachai, Riechelieu Rock. Simon was a guide and contact person on the safari boat and we had unforgettable dives. On the safari there was much more to see than the day boat tours: manta rays, napoleons, frogfish, anemonefish and many other creatures made the dives unforgettable.If diving in Thailand: Then only with Alice and Simon from Aloha !!!Thanks again to you two and hopefully, very soon, in amazing Thailand or on the boat. :)))pickles(Original)Wir waren im März 2016 schon zum zweiten Mal bei Alice und Simon von Aloha Ocean Adventures und haben noch zwei Freunde mitgenommen.Unsere Freunde, absolute Tauchanfänger, haben unter der kompetenten Hand von Alice und Simon Ihren Open Water und Advanced Tauchschein gemacht und konnten durch die tolle Betreuung der beiden in eine ganz neue Welt eintauchen.Ich habe während unseres Aufenthalts meine Ausbildung zum Divemaster gemacht und wurde auch hier super betreut, gefordert und klasse auf die weitere Zeit des professionellen Tauchens vorbereitet. Eine bessere Ausbildung und Betreuung als bei Aloha Ocean Adventures haben wir bei verschiedenen Tauchbasen noch nicht erlebt.Egal ob es um das Finden von passender Ausrüstung, die Planung des Urlaubes, das Finden einer geeigneten Unterkunft oder einfach nur um schöne Ausflugsziele geht...Alice und Simon sind bei allen Themen immer hilfsbereit und ein kompetenter Ansprechpartner.Die Tauchbasis ist familiär und mit sehr gut gepflegtem Leihequipment ausgestattet. Auch die Möglichkeit Masken, Flossen etc. zu testen, wenn man sich etwas Neues zulegen möchte, besteht.Nun zum Tauchen: Wir waren zwei Wochen auf Tagesbootstouren zu Tauchplätzen wie: Koh Doc Mai, PhiPhi, Racha Noi, Racha Yai, King Cruiser, Shark Point und vielen weiteren....Die Unterwasserwelt der Adamannensee ist super vielfältig. Von großen Schnapperschwärmen, über kleine Schnecken, Seeschlangen, Schildkröten, riesen Zackenbarschen und vielen, vielen weiteren hatten wir super schöne, teilweise auch sehr anspruchsvolle Tauchgänge.Unser Urlaushighlight war neben meiner erfolgreichen Ausbildung unsere Tauchsafari über 4 Tage und 4 Nächte zu den Similan Islands, Koh Bon, Koh Tachai, Riechelieu Rock. Simon war als Guide und Ansprechpartner mit uns auf dem Safari-Boot und wir hatten unvergessliche Tauchgänge. Auf der Safari gab es im Gegensatz zu den Tagesbootstouren noch mehr zu sehen: Mantas, Napoleons, Froschfisch, Glühkohlenanemonenfisch und viele weitere Lebewesen haben die Tauchgänge für uns unvergesslich gemacht.Wenn Tauchen in Thailand: Dann nur mit Alice und Simon von Aloha!!!Vielen Dank noch einmal an euch zwei und bis hoffentlich ganz, ganz bald in amazing Thailand oder auf dem Boot. :)))Gürkchen

(Translated by Google) The best decisionI wanted to do my divemaster and was thinking for a long time where. My decision to do the diving course at Aloha Diving in Rawai was top.Now I am Divemaster, thanks to Alice and Simon, thank you for your efforts, help, tips and the fun I had with you, not only when diving.The two Swiss not only look after their guests while diving but also over water. They are with words and deeds to the side, whether diving or excursion packages, everything is very good quality and well organized. The own rental equipment of the base is new and well maintained.Of course, learning is also part of every course, but that too was easy for me with so much support and patience. For training as a DM accompanies, for example also OWD courses and AOWD courses or specialty courses. It was just so educational and it's fun to see how much fun diving gives the two of them to their students. What I also really enjoyed was to accompany Tryouts, it reminded me of my own first dive, but what is special here is that it is not just offered from the beach, like mine back then, but also in conjunction with one Boat trip with several dives and all-round support.I was able to admire great dive sites such as Phi Phi, King Cruiser, Annemonen Reef or Shark Point. The booked dive boats are really great, the boat crew is absolutely top, whether captain, cook or the boat boys, all understand their craft.Again a big thank you to both of youThanks for the great divesThank you for the great experiencesThank you for everythingDaniela(Original)Die beste Entscheidung,ich wollte meinen Divemaster machen und war lange am Überlegen wo. Meine Entscheidung den Tauchkurs bei Aloha Diving in Rawai zu machen war Top.Nun bin ich Divemaster, dank Alice und Simon, danke für eure Mühen, Hilfen, Tips und den Spaß den ich bei euch hatte, nicht nur beim Tauchen. Die beiden Schweizer kümmern sich nicht nur beim Tauchen um ihre Gäste sondern auch über Wasser. Sie stehen mit Rat und Tat zur Seite, ob tauchen oder Ausflugspakete, alles ist qualitativ sehr gut und top organisiert. Die eigene Leihausrüstung der Basis ist neuwertig und top gepflegt.Zu jedem Kurs gehört natürlich auch das Lernen, aber auch das fiel mir leicht bei so lieber Unterstützung und Geduld. Zur der Ausbildung als DM begleitet man z.B. auch OWD Kurse und AOWD Kurse bzw. Specialty Kurse. Es war einfach mega lehrreich und es macht Spaß zu sehen mit wieviel Freude am Tauchen die Beiden dieses ihren Schülern vermitteln. Was mir auch besonders Spaß gemacht hat, war Schnuppertauchen zu begleiten, es hat mich an meinen eigenen ersten Tauchgang erinnert, was hier aber besonders ist, dass es nicht nur vom Strand aus angeboten wird, wie bei mir damals, sondern auch in Verbindung mit einem Bootstrip mit mehreren Tauchgängen und rundum Betreuung. Ich durfte tolle Tauchplätze wie z.B: Phi Phi, King Cruiser, Annemonen Reef oder Shark Point bewundern. Die gebuchten Tauchboote sind echt super, die Bootscrew ist absolut top, ob Kapitän, Koch oder die Bootsboys, alle verstehen ihr Handwerk.Nochmals ein riesen Dankeschön an euch beiden Danke für die tollen TauchgängeDanke für die mega ErlebnisseDanke für ALLESDaniela

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.

A superb local small business owned by two people who find scuba diving as their ultimate passion. All booking communications were done through Alice and she made it seamless. We dove with Simon, and it was the experience of a lifetime. I was a first time diver and experienced some pretty serious anxiety on the first of three dives. He calmed me down and refused to let me quit, even though I persisted. His persistence and patience lead me into not only enjoying the second and third dives, but loving them! It was an amazing experience, and I would highly recommend Simon & Alice if you're thinking of diving
