Aloha Diving™ Phuket – anything but mainstream

Aloha Diving™ Phuket – anything but mainstream

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Amazing team and wonderful diving experience. They are true diving fanatics. I had the beginners package and we had 2 unforgettable dives for an hour each. We managed to see a shark, few types of muraenas and a lot more. The under-water world was astonishing, especially the second dive along the underwater cliff. One moment you are swimming among thousand of fishes, next moment you are looking at the 2m high corralls. It is so much more than snorkelling and for the price you are not just getting to dive. You are getting the whole day’s trip with interesting people. I am thinking to do it again.

Sehr Empfehlenswert! Der praktische Teil des PADI Openwater Diver Kurs wurde professionel gelert von Simon und Alice, deren Erfahrung und Ruhe dabei sehr fördernt für meinen Lernfortschritt war. Die Tauchgänge wurden an paradisischen Orten durchgeführt, wie man es sich Vorstellt. Einwndfrei ist auch das Boot und die Ausurüstung welche vorschriftsgemäss gewartet werden. Simon, Alice und die Crew waren immer freundlich und sorgten für eine angeneme Atmosphäre. Das Einzige was ich zu bemängeln habe, ist die Uhrzeit an welcher das Boot rausfährt. 8 Uhr morgen. Das hat aber seine Gründe, denn bekanntlicher Weise sieht der frühe Vogel den Fisch :).

Absolutely loved the entire experience! I had a great time with Simon, Alice, Bill, and the whole crew. I arrived as a solo traveler but it felt like joining a family trip! The boat is spacious and incredibly neat and tidy. With such a large boat, they only accommodate 10 customers per day, and it ended up being just me and three other customers, making it feel like a private trip. I appreciated that the owners joined the trip and personally guided the entire excursion. They were enthusiastic about educating us on responsible diving, emphasizing the importance of preserving marine life. I also loved that our trip was carbon neutral.I've been a pretty "Spoiled" diver back home, typically having the crew set up my gear, which is actually not safe.However, Simon took the time to teach me about the importance of knowing my gear for my safety. He patiently guided me through setting up all the gear, ensuring I understood every detail. They were flexible, adapted quickly, and paid attention to every customer's skills and interests.The first dive at Anemone Reef was incredible, teeming with Anemone, some blooming and others about to bloom, Just picture towering coral formations brimming with anemones—absolutely blew my mind! I also saw a Bamboo Shark, a big Lionfish, a large pufferfish, schools of barracudas, squids, and a myriad of other fishes.They timed it perfectly so we didn't coincide with other boats, having the site all to ourselves.The second dive at Shark Point was also great! It had colorful corals and offered a glimpse of some macro stuff, although I missed seeing the leopard, which was fine. I appreciated being paired with Alice on the second dive; we both had fantastic air consumption, diving for 75 minutes!We could've gone longer, but due to the strong wind and current on the surface, we had to end a bit earlier. Simon was waiting at the surface, preparing the buoy and necessary equipment due to the rough sea conditions, ensuring our safety. Thanks to everyone, I had an amazing day; it exceeded my expectations!

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

Wir haben unsere erste Taucherfahrung mit Simon, Alice und ihrer Crew mit unserem Padi Open Water Diver gemacht. Es war wirklich alles mehr als TOP. Die Ausbildung war gewissenhaft und man hat wirklich viel gelernt, es war alles top organisiert und man fühlte sich sofort herzlich Willkommen. Vor allem durch die geringe Anzahl an Personen (max. 10-12 Personen) die sie bei jedem Tauchgang mitnehmen ist es sehr angenehm und es kommt keine Hektik auf. Super leckeres Mitagessen und Snacks waren inklusive, echt top, kann man nur weiterempfehlen!! Wir werden sicher bei Gelegenheit nochmal wiederkommen! Macht weiter so Simon, Alice & Co.!

Es gäbe nichts was besser gemacht werden konnte. Super nette und unglaublich professionelle Instruktoren/in und eine sehr zuvorkommende Bootscrew. Auch für Anfänger sehr gut geeignet. Ein paar in unserer Gruppe waren sehr nervös vor dem Tauchgang, aber durch die Routiniertheit der Instruktoren/in war das schnell vergessen. Der Tauchplatz zu dem wir gebracht wurden war auch fantastisch und überhaupt nicht überfüllt. Wie aus einer Doku vom Discovery Channel! Die ganze Erfahrung war 110% ihr Geld wert.

Thanks to Tim and Alice for a great few days diving. Aloha divers take pride in setting a high standard for dive experiences. I commend their work towards the eco system, nice to see dive masters (Mona) still picking up trash from the ocean, plus efforts for recycling, using solar panels onboard the vessel and high consideration for CO2 emissions - even down to engine tuning.Aloha divers start early but reward well, being first at dive sites away from the other dive boats was epic. We saw a full range of wildlife from Guitar sharks, leopard sharks, cuttlefish, and huge variety of fish and nudibranchs.Will be visiting again, thanks again guys!

Aloha Diving is the best in Phuket. The boat is spacious and comfortable. They only allow a limited amount of divers on the boat as compared to the other dive outlets in Phuket where it feels a lot like a cattle truck. Simon and his crew are the best in the business. They are all about the details in the service they provide. Mona, the DM was phenomenal. Safety and personal service was her top priority. Mona was constantly pointing out fascinating sealife underwater. She has an eye for detail and a passion for ocean conservation. It is worth noting that any time Mona discovered trash underwater she was quick to remove it. Mona went as far as recovering an anchor from the reef and returned with it to the surface. Aloha Diving is the only dive boat I use while in Phuket.
