Amazing dive operation with wonderful instructors and DMs - Thomas was the instructor for our boys' Jr. Open Water class and was excellent with them, both patient and highly knowledgeable. Tim was our DM and helped us through diving after a very long break. Both were super thorough and kept us safe and informed. The organization as a whole is very well run and able to make the dive trips run well. We will definitely dive again with them and tell anyone else they should, too!

A professional team that delivers what it promises. - We had booked the day trip, which takes place weekly on Wednesdays. The dive sites are okay, but offered little surprise - but that's how it is when diving, sometimes you're lucky, sometimes you're less lucky. Never mind, because the organization was EXCELLENT! We were picked up free of charge by a shuttle exactly to the minute at the specified time, although we lived 1 hour away at PATONG. The ride was quiet and sufficiently comfortable. Arriving from the diving school we were briefed by our guide (he + we then spent the whole day together). Our equipment was safely stowed in a labeled box and driven with us a few hundred meters to the pier. Once there brief briefing regarding the boat. On the boat everything is available: Snacks, a bar, water, cafe and also seasickness tablets if needed. Staff super friendly. We make 3 dives of about 1 hour and reasonable surface breaks. They cooked for lunch. All in all - also recommended for snorkelers. We were 31 people on the boat - you didn't notice - and everything was well organized.

Fantastic Dive Company - I did my 200th DIVE with Sea Bees with 3 day diving trips. The staff were fantastic - I dived with Jens, Sjorn, and Noom, who were all knowledgeable about the local sites and made sure that everyone was safe and having good dives. Other guides and staff on the boat were all helpful and friendly. The boat was large and comfortable, and equipment was all to a high standard. Free transfers from local areas and food on the boat was delicious. My friend, who hadn't dived in over 10 years, did a one day refresher with Nico and was very impressed with the instructions and help he received. I'd happily dive with these guys again and recommend to anyone looking to dive or do their courses whilst on Phuket. Thanks for some great diving.

Professional organization, great service, best care, highly recommended - My son and I dived 4 days with 11 dives each from the dive ship Excalibur2. Includes shuttle to and from the hotel, and transfer between base and marina. Diving bottles and equipment were already put together by dive group upon our arrival on the ship. There was always an inconspicuous helping hand with me. My guides looked after 4 or only two guests (called private guide elsewhere) and no coincidence that I usually had a German-speaking guide. Thank you so much for that. Even the lead on the belt was to be fed off me. Many thanks to Iwana, Erik and Silvio, who guided us above and below water through the day. They were fantastically beautiful unforgettable dives. A big thank you to dear petite Tao, who not only organized but also carried the diving bottles, the captivity, the invisible Marineros with always helping hands, the office open until 8 pm, the bus driver and especially the always smiling lady at the bar of the ship and the cook. The food is so good that you think it would be a restaurant ship with underwater excursions between the wonderful Thai typical meals also with lots of fruit and pastries. There are many dive centers on Phuket. I only know SeaBees and probably you will find something cheaper but certainly nothing better and for holidays and safety it is worth every single Baht and a nice tip.

All in all a great diving package . Thanks also to Tao the tour leader . - The day tour on the Excalibur 2 was very nice. Although it was always very crowded with divers and snorkelers, everything has gotten very lost. The organization and procedure when paddling and diving was very good . There were 2 groups and there was never chaos. A dream was our Guidin Ivana . She is very experienced and speaks perfect English , German and Russian . We were able to book you for 10 days and this has greatly enriched our dives. We wish her a great time and all the best for the future . Gaby from Wuppertal
