Endorsements PADI IDC – Rob Seavey
If you are looking for a place in Thailand to complete your PADI IDC (instructor development course), look no further. Darren, is both the owner of Aussie Divers Phuket and the in-house PADI Course Director. He has a million stories, and the classes are always entertaining. He is basically the PADI poster child, so if you want to learn “the PADI way” and why they do things the way they do, he is a walking PADI encyclopedia. What sets Darren apart, however, is that he CARES about you and your future in the industry. I nearly walked away from training due to some personal issues mid-course. Darren professionally took me to the side a [...]

Endorsements PADI Divemaster – Dan Fredericks
Stuck in Phuket due to Covid? Why not cross something off your bucket list and get your Divemaster certification? While not every decision that I made during Covid was a good one, I couldn’t be happier with my choice to do my PADI Divemaster course with Aussie Divers in Phuket. I had been diving with them a few times before, pre-Covid, and always appreciated the customer-first approach that they took, and how seriously they prioritized safety as well. I always felt comfortable and confident while diving with them so I figured there was no better shop to take the first step towards becoming a professional diver with. Becoming a PADI Dive [...]

PADI Divemaster - Aaron Miller I first discovered Aussie Divers when I was on vacation in Phuket back in December 2017. I made a spontaneous decision to try diving and signed up for the Open Water course. It was an amazing 3 days. My instructor was great; he made learning the equipment fun, and then we got into the big blue. As expected, I fell in love with my newfound underwater world! So glad that I took the plunge. But now I was hooked and needed more. Fast forward 2 years to December 2019. I had been living in Okinawa Japan, had 10 dives logged, and had completed my PADI Advanced Open Water and PADI Rescue Diver courses. As PADI [...]

Endorsements PADI Divemaster – Rocky Powers
Growing up in Australia I have always been connected to the sand and surf, I am pretty sure I learnt how to swim before I learnt how to walk so it would be fair to say the water has always been apart of me. I remember my first discovery scuba session on chartered catamaran sailing the Great Barrier Reef in 2009 and seeing my first turtle. Its the small moments in life I appreciate and I will always treasure, nature in the natural. I have always been a traveller, my first Europe trip in 2014 I dived the Greek islands and Spain. From then I knew I always want to be apart of this world but It wasn’t until 2016 I took the direction o [...]

After reading some of the reviews and having a look at the package deals they had available, I decided to reach out for some more information. From how helpful and profe [...]

I am a world traveler and I have a lifetime bucket list. Scuba diving is one of them. I got certified PADI Open Water Course in Hawaii in 2013, which I really enjoyed and was satisfied with the fact that "I did it, bucket list checked." I have not had a chance to go diving since then until my friend introduced Aussie Divers in 2015. I did fun dives at Koh Phi Phi and Racha Noi/Yai. I discovered diving in Phuket was amazing with colorful coral reefs and active marine life. I fell in love with scuba diving again! I went back to Hawaii to do PADI Advanced Open Water Course and came back to Phuket to do rescue and ERP with Aussie Diver [...]

I run my own Nursing home, so it was not easy to get free time or holiday. In February 2016, the first holiday after 7 years of working I came to Thailand to relax. But, I can’t. I was bored after a half day at the beach so I decided to do anything, which could give me a challenge and I also can keep distance to my business… I started with Aussie Divers Phuket 2016 doing the PADI Open Water Course and PADI Advanced Open Water. I so enjoyed those Courses and the Fun Dives day trips & liveaboards with Aussie Divers that I found a new passion. I decided to come back to Aussie Divers Phuket to go on with my Dive development care [...]
