Dive Community Phuket, Thailand. Meet Friends - Dive Dreams.

Dive Community - About us

 

Our PADI 5 Star IDC Facility is located in Kata, close to one of the most beautiful beaches on the whole of  Phuket. In our spacious shop you can find everything a diver's heart desires, from BCDs, Wetsuits and Regulators to Books, PADI training materials and t-shirts. Our popular terrace and the huge garden area continues to be a very popular post-dive hangout, allowing you to relax with a cold drink or two while meeting friends after your dream dives. It goes without saying we are there to advise and offer you the best and most popular daytrips (2 or 3 dives)  to the well known divesites around Phuket and liveaboard trips to the world famous Similan Islands. We welcome non-divers and snorkellers aboard the boats where you can enjoy a day out with your partner or with your family as the trips include freshly made quality meals, drinks and snacks. If you are after a long and relaxed beach dive you can join us and discover some really nice reefs right off our beautiful  beaches. It is really amazing what you can find here: seahorses, ghost pipefish, lots of reef fish and if you are lucky a ray or a turtle or two. This has proved to be a real alternative to daytrips - allowing you plenty of quality diving from our fantastic beaches, they are available throughout the day and are well suited to those of us who have trouble getting up early for the daytrips (due to our proximity to the best divesites the daytrips don't leave until 0900 but if you think that's early, then stay in bed, and why should we get up early ? We are on holiday, after all.

The big difference you will find here compared to others is the tailor-made top dive education you can find here at Dive Community. We love diving and we want to share our passion with you. We teach to the very high standards of PADI, the worlds leader in dive education from Discover Scuba Diving up to Instructor Development (IDC / MSDT / Staff Instructor). Of course we never forget that we have some of the world's best divesites right in front of us. Our proximity to the dive sites gives you the opportunity to see and experience some really amazing divesites even during your course. By taking your diver education with us you get to experience the best dive training in Phuket in one of the best dive locations in the world.

Our courses have always a maximum of 4 participants. That gives us the chance to train everybody individually so you get the most out of it. If you want one of our executive course where you will work one on one with an Instructor then that can easily be organised for you. Our team of well trained and very experienced instructors use their experience and knowledge to make your training effective, safe and fun. The instructors are supported by Divemasters and Divemaster trainees who have decided to continue their professional dive education with ourselves.
