Testimonial
After travelling all around Asia, I can honestly say that Sheldon and the staff of DTW are the best outfit I have worked with ... knowledgeable staff ensure that you have a pleasant experience without compromising your personal safety. And believe me, there are some very questionable companies in Asia ... Competitive prices and quality equipment make this shop one of the best in Thailand ...

Private or Group Instruction?


Private Instruction

Your dives finish when YOU run low on air. This means with private one-on-one instruction your dives are much longer. Expect your dives to last about 45 minutes when Phuket scuba diving, 50% more than with group instruction.

There are also no other students to cause you hold-ups and slow you down, so you get to spend more time checking out the fish and less time waiting around and doing the skills.

You can expect to spend 75% of your dive time enjoying the reef, and 25% for demonstrating your dive skills. Learn to dive in Phuket the easy way with the most fun too.


Group Instruction

With group instruction the whole group ends the dives together as soon as the first student runs low on air. This means your dives are much shorter than with private instruction.

Expect to spend 75% of your Thailand diving time with your group demonstrating dive skills, and 25% enjoying the reef and fish.
