PERFECT SERVICE! We did the diving with Luca, we became fascinated, not only by everything we could see under the water, but by all of Luca's kindness. He showed us many species such as zebra sharks, blacktip sharks, blue-spotted rays, seahorses and many more. Don't waste your time looking for another agency, if you are in Ao Nang, don't hesitate, Mr Dolphin is the best option.

I didn't choose the diving school directly, Marvin, the diving instructor I was with, was recommended to me. Was a mega experience!The Open Water Diver costs a whole lot of money, that should be clear in advance, but it was definitely incredibly organized, everything was very uncomplicated and reliable, with taxi service, and lunch between the dives, a group of participants put together on request, etc. So the course is definitely worth the money!Marvin did a really strong job, was patient in every situation and took all participants along with him! I learned a lot, especially about what you see when diving, and had a lot of fun! Even if it was a bit tough at the beginning.

I had an amazing diving experience in the Phi Phi Islands with Luca as our guide. He was incredibly attentive and professional throughout the entire dive, ensuring that we felt safe and comfortable. I held onto him the entire time, and he made me feel completely at ease in the water. Luca’s expertise and patience truly made this dive unforgettable. Highly recommend him for anyone looking for a trustworthy and skilled dive instructor!”

I had an absolutely amazing experience with Mr. Dolphin Diving - no wonder it has the best rating in town! As a beginner diver, I felt completely at ease thanks to Luca’s expertise. He was knowledgeable and helpful during the dive. I learned so much throughout the experience and felt confident the entire time.The dive itself was magical, with incredible marine life. Luca knew the perfect spots to spot the animals and I swam through shoals of fish, saw a turtle, Murray and other creatures. Luca also took amazing photos and videos of me during the dive, so I was able to capture what I saw! :)The post-dive lunch was delicious, and the mango sticky rice and watermelon were perfect snacks!Overall, the team’s attention to detail was outstanding and ensured I had a safe & memorable experience. I had a fantastic time and will definitely dive again with Mr Dolphin when I’m back 🙂
