With Poseidon, the trip was easy to schedule. Dan was awesome. Good safety briefing and they put divers at ease. Lots of good food and you were free to move about the boat. I dove with Andy. It was a blast. He showed us some really cool aquatic life and swam through some rocky tunnels. Highly recommend Poseidon!

A great outfit with a lot of integrity. I recently fun dived with Poseidon. Daniel and his crew did a splendid job. The dive guides are great and the company is very active in local conservation initiatives. The boat is very comfortable and the SCUBA gear is in excellent condition. We had two very good dives around the local islands. I would definitely return to dive again.

We, a group of 3 people, begun diving at this diving center in early 2017. Andy was our instructor and we made the CMAS 1 Star course. After the thought us about the gear, we did our first "dive" in a pool. I found this a very appropriate location for the first diving attempts since it was familiar to me. This and due to the very good instructions by Andy, I was able to eliminate all concerns I had for good reasons. We have been told that possible problems could be solved the fastest underwater and there is no need to go to the surface immediately. These good explanations where very helpful and way more effective than just some information like that it might be dangerous if one does an uncontrolled ascent to the surface.Andy was always there when one of us needed some help, be it due to bad bouyancy or the like. Furthermore, he brought in just the right balance between sedateness and seriousness.The other dives of the course we started from the boat. They were also very nice and we already could begin seeing and enjoying the underwater life. What is not the expectation I had when doing this course but made me very happy as well was the extremely delicious Thai food they brought to the boat. This was a very nice side-effect and a good opportunity to get to know the Thai kitchen better.For the final exam, we were at the diving center and met Daniel, it's owner. He is also very kind and well experienced. We had a really great time with him as well.

Wonderful Trip to Phi Phi from Ao Nang. We really enjoyed our dive experience with Daniel and Andi and the crew! We had two great dives in small groups, breakfast and lunch on board and a great time on the sundeck. Highlight of the trip was the discovery of a wonderful colorful turtle. We can really recommend the Dive center! Nicole&Maxi

I did my CMAS* Open Water license here and I am very happy with the experience. Everybody was very friendly and my instructor did a great job with explaining the theory and making the dives exciting. 5 dives are included in this course (as opposed to 4 in PADI) and all of them were very enjoyable. I already did a Discover Scuba Diving session at another place and was familiar with equipment and moving underwater, so the pool sessions were skipped. We practised some of the very important skills to ensure safety underwater but I also got to see a lot of the marine world and plenty of fishes and other animals. (lionfish, murays, lobsters, sharks, boxfishes, clownfishes.....).There was a little theory test on the second day, which wasn’t to hard because most questions can be answered with common sense. Food and drinks on the boat were good and the scenery was also amazing (see pictures below). I recommend Poseidon to anyone who wants to learn diving while also seeing a lot. It’s also lot more exciting than snorkelling :)

Brilliant first diving experience with a great instructor & crew! We felt safe the whole time, while we also got great institutions and training before diving!Me and my friend tried diving for the first time and we loved the experience! We spoke to every diving company in Ao Nang, but this seemed like the best one! And we don’t regret it!We are very pleased with the day that included breakfast, lunch, snacks & free soft drinks!Love it! Thanks!
