WHAT PEOPLE SAYS
Big Thanks to Blue Planet for a great day 3/3. And specially thanks to Brice who was a very professional and nice diveinstructor. He gave me a very good refresh for my OW cert because its been a while sins my last dive. After that we did two really good dives at Koh Bida.

4 March 2020Together with my son and daughter we booked a day dive trip to Koh Haa, Hin Muang and Hin Daeng, with Blue Planet Divers. Although a bit expensive (specially after Koh Tao), we were very satisfied with the high quality of their service. The office staff were kind, friendly and helpful with information in both english and french. Highlights: catamaran trip to dive sites with tasty food and enough space to chill and admire the beautiful landscape * well maintained equipement * Koh Haa is a must! With caves, extraordinary biodiversity and a gorgeous setting. Thanks to Yann, Johan and Fins for their diving support. Highly recommended!

I just did my open water diving licence there and the guys from the Diving Center are doing a very professional job (they are not overwhelmingly friendly or funny, I... read more felt like they keep a professionelle distance)
, everything went on really fluent, the boat trip to the spots was enjoyable (thanks to the anti sea-sickness pills from the Diving Center), the food was delicious, the thai staff was extremely friendly, and the dives have been nice! I did the course because I am/was really afraid of deep water, the sea, swimming... I always felt like water is just not my element. With all the knowledge I got and my very calm and sophisticated teacher (thanks Raf) I managed to go down and keep breathing. From Dive to dive my fear shrunk and I could enjoy my experience. The only thing what I was missing was a long wetsuit as I started freezing at the end of every dive.Stay08598734055
9 February 2023Blue Planet was very responsive on WhatsApp to organise the dives, and the package quoted for 2 days diving was very reasonable. They pick up and drop off from your... read more hotel. The catamaran is large, clean and well appointed. Lots of room to chill between dives. Breakfast, lunch and snacks provided on board were really good quality. The quality of the diving gear is fine. There were two of us and we did 3 dives each for 2 days. Groups are small, with no more than 4 individuals per guide. Our guides, Brice and Mark were both excellent, both knowledgeable and attentive and really made our trip special. All the staff and the owner are very pleasant and helpful.
Overall, am very impressed with Blue Planet Divers, would thoroughly recommend. Thank you to Blue Planet!pap5225
1 January 2023Fantastic day diving and snorkelling with Blue Planet Divers. Our sons (11 and 14) tried a Discover Diving day and my wife and I snorkelled. Etienne looked after the boys... read more and was the perfect blend of friendly and professional. We felt safe and well looked after from the minute we were picked up at our hotel and throughout the whole day. We were lucky enough to see loads of fish and reef tip sharks. Matt took some fantastic photos that you are under no obligation to buy but you will definitely want to as they are far better than anything you can take yourself. Would definitely recommend to others and already have.

25 December 2022This shop is amazing, they are very professional, super friendly and organized, the boat is quite nice and the food on the boat is delicious.
We did 4 dives... read more and an open water course, plus we stayed at their hotel (the dive house) which was extremely comfortable and convenient, you get out of the boat and you're 10 meters away from your room.
Laurens was a great instructor and guide, we saw a lot of beautiful ocean life and had a pretty epic experience. The staff on the boat is also quite professional and friendly, they run a tight operation and make you feel safe.
There is also a professional photographer, Matt, who does amazing work.
Highly recommended!902fernandoo

I did... read more my PADI OPEN WATER and Deep Diver Adventure course with an extra 10 dive package. The instructors were very knowledgeable, kind, patient and they made sure I was comfortable and confident enough before going to the open water of the Andaman Sea. This was definitely a highlight of my trip and also my life!! The crew and everyone working with Blue Planet Divers are professionals and I can't wait to go back!! 😁👌👌
