Dive Academy Phuket - Tommy

Sawadee Khrap!

My team and I warmly welcome you to Tommy’s Dive Center Phuket!

We are your experienced partner if you want to dive into the fantastic underwater world of Thailand’s Andaman Sea. Our dive center is located in the very south of Phuket, in the vacation hotspot of Rawai. The beautiful Nai Harn Beach, consistently ranked among the top 10 most beautiful beaches in Asia, is just a 3-minute drive from our base. Here, in addition to our training pool, a washing and drying room, a nearby filling station, and our air-conditioned classroom, we also have a shop for high-quality diving equipment.

As a 5-Star PADI Dive Center, we guarantee highly professional and effective training and continuing education from Open Water Diver (OWD) to IDC. And with our philosophy of maximum customer focus, we promise that one thing will always be our focus: the fun and enjoyment of diving.

It’s your vacation, it’s your time, so you decide how it should go. We offer you a level of personal service you’ll hardly find anywhere else. And this extends far beyond diving. With over 10 years of experience as a diving instructor in Phuket, I’m always happy to advise you as a Thailand insider in all situations and vacation-related questions.

My goal is to make your stay here on the island an unforgettable, varied, and relaxing experience. And I’ve proven time and again over the years that I can achieve this.

And now I hope you enjoy browsing our website and that we will soon spend some wonderful days together – under and above water.

Breathe well! Your Tommy

I did two dives with Tommy’s Dive Shop and had a fantastic experience. Yesterday, I dove the King Cruiser wreck with instructor Chris, who was absolutely brilliant. Despite the rain, the dives were amazing. Highly recommend Tommy’s Dive Store and Chris to anyone looking for great diving in the area.

Tommy’s dive center is great as always, we had our son do his junior open water course this week with Chris who is an outstanding instructor. He took the time and really made sure our 11 year old was not only competent but confident upon completion of his junior open water. My wife and I did some fun dives with Tommy himself who as previously stated is fantastic with the planning and coordinating of a wonderful trip !! Thank you can’t recommend Chris or Tommy enough!

Bin zum dritten Mal bei Tommy tauchen gegangen. Seine professionelle Art wie auch sein menschlicher Umgang sind sehr angenehm und sorgen stets für tolle Erinnerungen. Heute war ausserdem Chris (aus Australien😜) dabei und hat super Fotos geschossen. Danke euch beiden!🙏

Did my open water certification at Tommy’s Divecenter. Can’t recommend this place enough. Tommy paired me with Chris who’s a great instructor from the UK. Chris was super professional and also a lot of fun, we ended up doing 6 dives out on the water around multiple islands and points including Phi Phi. All the gear Tommy Provides is in great condition and the dives boats that are used are amazing as well. I’ll be doing my advanced open water certification with them in the coming week

Ich habe bei Tommy meine Open Water Licence gemacht und könnte nicht glücklicher mit meiner Entscheidung sein. Tommy ist ein außergewöhnlicher Tauchlehrer. Seine ruhige, geduldige und professionelle Art hat mir von Anfang an das Gefühl gegeben, in den besten Händen zu sein. Er nimmt sich für jeden Schüler die Zeit, die benötigt wird, erklärt alles verständlich und vermittelt nicht nur das notwendige Wissen, sondern auch Sicherheit und Vertrauen unter Wasser. Besonders beeindruckt hat mich seine Geduld. Egal, wie oft man eine Frage stellt oder etwas wiederholen möchte – Tommy bleibt immer ruhig, freundlich und motivierend. Dadurch macht das Lernen nicht nur Spaß, sondern man fühlt sich während der gesamten Ausbildung sicher und entspannt. Man merkt sofort, dass Tauchen für ihn nicht einfach nur ein Beruf, sondern eine echte Leidenschaft ist. Sein großes Wissen, seine Erfahrung und seine Aufmerksamkeit für jedes Detail machen ihn zu einem herausragenden Instructor. Für mich ist Tommy ohne Zweifel der beste Tauchlehrer auf Phuket. Ich kann jedem, der das Tauchen lernen oder eine Tauchausbildung machen möchte, von Herzen empfehlen, diese bei Tommy zu absolvieren. Eine bessere Betreuung kann man sich nicht wünschen. Beim nächsten Mal, wenn ich wieder nach Phuket komme, werde ich auf jeden Fall meine Ausbildung mit dem Advanced Open Water Diver-Kurs bei Tommy fortsetzen. Für mich steht schon jetzt fest, dass ich dafür zu niemand anderem gehen werde. Vielen Dank, Tommy, für diese unvergessliche Erfahrung, deine Geduld, deine Unterstützung und dafür, dass du mir die faszinierende Unterwasserwelt auf so professionelle und herzliche Weise nähergebracht hast. Ich werde diese Zeit immer in bester Erinnerung behalten!

This was the first time doing solo diving. I just dropped to the center and Tommy briefed me set everything up for the next day dive. I was lucky to get Chris as a dive master. Chris is the top notch service for the instructions, guidance and assistance with little things through the day.

Did the open water diver with Chris as an instructor. Really had a good time and felt safe. He knows how to teach someone and how to let his students over win their fears. Would do it again with Chris! And saw a shark!!

Ich habe bei Tommy den Open Water Padi Kurs gebucht. Aufgrund einer Lebensmittelvergiftung musste ich den Kurs leider kurzfristig absagen. Tommy war überaus freundlich und hat dies gut aufgenommen. Wir haben auch zusammen eine gute Lösung gefunden. Ich werde das nächste Mal sicher wieder zu Tommy gehen und kann ihn durchaus empfehlen.
