These Guys Are Pros!

They may seem like a group of friendly and welcoming scuba guys – and they are! – but underneath that is a very dedicated, organized and highly skilled team of professionals. All of the logistics were handled effortlessly. Dive briefings were clear and comprehensive. Dive groups were small so that guides could keep track of their divers and offer assistance if necessary. Food was great. And the boat crew was tireless and efficient. I was on Manta Queen 8 and Mark was an excellent tour leader. My dive guide Daniel was terrific––great dives, all. And I am confident all of the others were excellent as well. If I come back to Thailand, Khaolak Scuba Adventures is my first stop.

One week of blissfulness

It was an enjoyable trip with the crew. Rooms were a little cramped but very clean overall. Variety of food was commendable & my vegetarian diet was taken care of. Dive sites are simple and all about small fish. Overall a happy ending

Young energetic divemasters. Quality of crew. Fresh food & ice cream.
