What To Expect
Once you book, reach out and we will send your PADI eLearning course and Open Water Videos. Take time to study on your own schedule (8-12 hrs) before you arrive and complete your course over 2 - 3 days! Check in at our amazing office one day before, just 5 mins outside town in Viewpoint Resort with stunning views of Loh Dalum Bay. Reach out if you wish to start the same day as arriving. We have flexible schedules. Your confined training off the beach is the first step. After mastering your skills, swim tests and theory you will go out on the boat to complete your training dives over 2 days. Each dive trip includes 2 dives with lunch in between and lasts 5 hours. We depart from the main pier after paying National Park fees and drive 20-30 minutes to the Marine Park area of Phi Phi Leh and Bida Islands for your dives. Expect to see amazing marine life, colourful corals with a good chance to see sharks and turtles at our local sites while you train! Enjoy zero waste lunch & fresh pineapple between dives surrounded by stunning scenery. After the second dive of each day we return to shore and log the dives.

5.00Decide to perform the baptism with this company before its excellent recommendations. Despite being nervous I loved the experience thanks to my instructor, José. Besides having a great vibe, I felt very confident so I decided to do the open water with them and Jose. Really an unforgettable experience. Very grateful to the team, Caroline who managed everything kindly and effectively. Micheal another instructor, Adam the photographer thanks to whom I took beautiful memories of this experience and finally my instructor Jose who made this experience amazing! 100% recommend to take this tour with this company.

5.00I completed my PADI Open Water Corse at Blue View Divers and I am really happy I did! I am an anxious person who was a bit nervous, but my instructor Jose did an amazing job making me feel safe and making me feel capable. I am really happy to have met him as a person and to have learned from him as an instructor.
Great team to dive with

5.00Look no further, this is a great team to dive with! I decided to get the Open Water Certification with them as they dive in small groups and they hold the PADI 5* Eco Center award. I had so much fun and I felt so comfortable diving with Michael that once I finishedy initial certification, I decided to stay another week in Phi Phi and get the Advanced certification too. Amazing experience diving with this guys...
Best place to learn to dive!

5.00100% recommend. We had the best time and never felt concerned or anxious about the exercises we had to do or being in the ocean - it never felt like an assessment or pass/fail situation. Michael was genuinely the best guide we could have asked for and the small group of 3 of us learning was perfect. Would highly highly recommend and I literally never review anything.
Highly recommended !

5.00A great team! Good organization and support. For me a wonderful first diving experience. My companion calmly instructed me that I quickly found complete confidence and saw with her colorful schools of fish, corals, a larger fish. I'm thrilled! Also the food and fresh fruit and water was ready. I highly recommend it. Ps.: The whole boat was in a super good mood 👌👍

5.00Friendly staff, very helpful, very knowledgeable and safety conscious. My instructor Jose was very easy to understand and he spoke 2 languages Spanish and English as well as his own native language. The boat crew were amazing helping me and they also rescued a lone diver who they sucessfully reunited him with his boat.
