Very important details - Yes Phuket can be a real Paradise! This is a long essay but I am more that pleased to write it. Phuket might be a sunbather's paradise, but for folks like me who crave adventure under the water and excitement on top of it, SSS Phuket blew me away. it's literally a playground for people who want to try new things and push their limits a bit. Here's why they gets a perfect 5-star rating from me, especially for adventure seekers who aren't super experienced (like me!), and why it's more than just a pretty place! The awesome service started before I even got there. I have to give a big thumbs up to Jean, who helped me book everything. Talking to them was super easy, and they answered all my questions with a smile. They explained all about the activities I wanted to do (discover scuba diving, a freediving course called Molchanovs Wave 1, and a surfing lesson) and even helped me pick a package that fit my time and what I wanted to try. This personal touch made me feel good right from the start. Discover Scuba diving to Racha Yai island Now, let's get to the heart of my adventure! I signed up for a "Discover Scuba Diving to Racha Yai island: trip. The instructor Olivier was super clear and patient, which calmed my nerves before I even jumped in. Underwater, it was like a whole new world! Colorful coral reefs were everywhere, and there were all sorts of fish swimming around. Feeling weightless was both exciting and peaceful. This scuba diving trip made me want to learn even more about what's hidden beneath the waves. This trip was so fun! The boat is pretty spacious, you have plenty of space under the shade or exposed if you want to perfect your tan! Breakfast and lunch were prepared by the onboard chef and it was very tasty. Molchanovs Wave 1 Course Freediving Next, I challenged myself with the "Molchanovs Wave 1" freediving course. This special training pushed me to my physical and mental limits in a good way. Learning to control my breathing and stay underwater for longer was empowering, and gliding through the water with ease felt like magic. The instructor Florian was top-notch and super supportive, making this an incredible learning experience that helped me discover hidden strengths within myself. I am now totally hooked to freediving. Surfing: Catching My First Wave! Finally, I took a 1.5-hour surfing lesson. The instructor Chulee was really fun, she was patient and explained everything about surfing in a way that was easy to understand. Catching my first wave was a moment I'll never forget. The feeling of riding the power of the ocean was incredible! SSS Phuket provides the perfect place to learn surfing with great instructors. I understand now why surfers never really quite surfing! My only regret was that i found out too late that they were also providing a surf camp package including accommodation right next to to the beach with sea view rooms ! I realised that it was even a better value that my hotel room arrangement. If only I had known earlier, I would have opted for the surf camp package without hesitation. Unforgettable Service and Unparalleled Support The true heart of SSS Phuket lies in its exceptional staff. Every member, from the booking team to the activity instructors, was friendly, helpful, and dedicated to exceeding guest expectations. They were attentive without being intrusive, always ready to assist with a smile and a suggestion. SSS Phuket exceeded my expectations in every way. From the stunning location and exceptional service to the unforgettable water sports experiences, it was a truly transformative adventure. Whether you're a seasoned adventurer or a curious beginner like me, they have something to offer everyone. If you're looking for a place to push your limits, discover hidden depths, and create memories that will last a lifetime, SSS Phuket is the perfect paradise for you!

Don't think ,just book it!!! - One of the best experiences that my boyfriend and myself have so far in our life. Very smooth process regarding picking up and driving back to hotel Experience excellent !! Amazing . A big thank you and applaud to our diving instructor Ned . He explained everything very clearly . I got scared initially however Ned guided me through my stressful moment so gentle and he managed to calmed me down and relax me. A massive thank you to that guy!! Without him I wouldn't have been able to actually go through the diving. My boyfriend absolutely love it. I totally recommend this excursion. The crew in the boat also very friendly and helpful. We are actually thinking to do diving in every holiday that we book from now on after that amazing experience. Thank you Ned for everything!!!!

Absolute highlight of our time in Thailand! - This was an absolute highlight of our time in Thailand! As inexperienced divers, our guide Pommé took the time to give us a thorough review of safety procedures and good practices. She is very experienced underwater and provides a calming energy for new divers. I had such a wonderful experience that I decided to come back the following days to complete my certification with Pommé! Would highly recommend this tour for divers at all levels!

Best experience. Would do it again. - This was one of the best experiences. Our guide, Pomme, made us feel comfortable and helped get rid of nerves before we got in the water. Everything was explained and easy to understand. Our guide took heaps of videos for us to capture our experience for great memories. Highly recommend this tour, even for beginners. Would do this tour again for sure.

Great first diving experience - While the trip got off to a rough start with the transfer van being later and overfull, and with one of the instructors being late, the diving experience itself warrants 5 stars. Our instructor Ned was excellent. The briefing, preparation and the diving itself was great. We are two 50 year olds who are confident in the water, but have never dived. We loved it and are thinking of getting certified. The photos and video that Ned took was also great. Thanks to SSS for the opportunity.

Scuba diving with Olivier - Scuba diving with Olivier as our instructor was an incredible experience that exceeded all expectations. Olivier's expertise and calm demeanor instantly put us at ease, making the underwater adventure feel safe and exhilarating. His thorough instruction ensured that even beginners felt confident exploring the mesmerizing world beneath the waves.

Whether you're a seasoned diver or new to the sport, diving with Olivier promises an unforgettable journey into the depths of the ocean.
