I obtained my SSI Open Water Diver certification with Sea Bees the first week of May 2012.
The instruction and diving were both wonderful. While this was my first diving experience, I must say I was impressed with how organized Sea Bees is. Visiting with other divers, I found they all had never enjoyed another dive center as well organized.
Special thanks go to my dive instructor July, who made me comfortable in the depths and pointed out all the beautiful fish and other creatures we constantly came accross.
You cannot beat the Diving Course Packages they have with Palm Gardens, a brief walk away from the shop and pier.

I went on an incredible dive trip the equipment and staff are top notch. It was the best and biggest boat I have ever been out on with excellent food and plenty of space and shade. Everybody was very kind and professional and the dive locations are amazing. My guide Martin was extremely knowledgeable both about diving and the underwater life, in addition he helped me with air consumption and breathing techniques. All and all it was the best dive trip I have been on.

I just like to say thank you for a fantastic 2 weeks diving in Thailand, the first week on the Marco Polo was my first live aboard and it was a brilliant weeks diving. Mike, Huby and the crew couldn’t have done anymore to make the trip anymore enjoyable and the food was amazing (loved the banana cake). The second week on the Excalibur II was also a great weeks diving and was again so well looked after by the Sea bees team. I would highly recommend Sea bees diving, well organized and very friendly :-).

Dear Sea Bees,
thank you so much for a great three days diving. As ever all your staff were friendly and helpful. I enjoyed diving with both Maritta and Iskandar, it was a pleasure to be on The Excalibar again. Simon also enjoyed his one day on the boat, and was particularly pleased you had Weissbier on board for the return journey.
Other than missing Super Sunday (which was a huge disappointment to me) everything was perfect. I'm sure you won't let the bus times be a problem for anyone else. Besides, because I then went diving on the Monday instead, I saw a seahorse and a leopard shark!! Brilliant! Thanks again to Iskandar for the good spots, and the photo tips too.
I do hope to come to Phuket another time and dive with you again.
Thanks again,
Beth Johnson

I dove with Sea Bees on November 8 in Rasha Yai and it was my very first dive since completing my course in Northern California. It was a wonderful experience and I just booked Hawaii for June to dive again. I'm hooked and I just wanted to thank you (especially Lukas) who made my day and first dive trip a wonderful experience! Cheers.....Gina Giambruno

Dear Hilla and the entire Sea Bees team,
Thanks so much for the fantastic diving holiday that we had with you last week. Special thank you for Mike and Stephan who showed us the "small" stuff that we love and which allowed Johnny to start learning his photography skills. You guys are awesome.
On the last dive in Bungalow bay we photographed the little "nudi-cutie" that i attach as a memory for us all
Thanks again
Johnny & Natasha

Tanya and I were with the Dolphin Dive group March 18-29, 2011. Our dive master was Julie. I would like to commend Julie for her professionalism as a dive master, her extensive knowledge of the dive sites, and for assistance with our equipment. Her attentiveness to diver safety, situational awareness during the dives, and her eagerness to share her knowledge of diving, Thailand, lanquage and just general information was exceptional. To sum up our experience with Julie with just one word: Amazing. Please extend our regards to her.
I would also like to add that our overall experience with the dive operation and Palm Garden Resort was terrific. The desk and dining staff were beyond belief. I never had the chance to learn the names of everyone, but just let me say that the two youngest members of the resort staff (brother and sister, maybe?) were charming, kind, and very respectful. Please pass on our thanks to them as well as to everyone.
And, thank you, for a wonderful experience. We hope to see you again in the near future.
