Again I had some great dive days with Sharkey. Most amazing dive on Anemone reef I ever had and 5 sharks on this trip. Thanks to Oui's experience I got to see seahorses and loads of other stuff I would have missed. I also bought some dive equipment through Sharkey and Iain took a day to help me find exactly... More

If you are planning to dive when in the Phuket area look no further than Sharkey Scuba, they are simply the best. From my initial contact with Iain to the completion of the dive (my first), everything was planned and delivered to the highest possible professional standard. Iain and I exchanged a number of e:mails Scotland/Thailand prior to travel so... More

Had my first experience with Sharkey Scuba April 2012, on recommendation from a friend. As they had no diving planned for the week I was in Phuket, they were hesitant to take my booking (as they couldn't guarantee that they would be available), but as soon as they realized I was recommended by a mutual friend plans were changed and...

We had a SUPER time diving with Sharkey Scuba in April 2013. Three things stand out for us after diving with this company and they are; 1) Efficient; 2) Friendly and; 3) Fun! From accommodating our last minute booking, Iain even made the effort to come and visit us at our hotel to introduce himself but make sure we had... More

Iain and Oui are fantastic and very prompt in replying to emails. My girlfriend and i hadnt dived in a while so were about apprehensive but Oui brought us into shallow waters to start off our first dive and that gave us time to get our buoyancy and skills right. Amazingly patient, but at the same time eager to point... More

The boat Sharkey recommended was great, everyone very nice, professional and the Food onboard was really excellent! I enjoyed every single dive so very much! The planning was very... More

My girlfriend and I were extremely pleased with the services Sharkey Scuba provided. If we were to go back to Phuket for another vacation, we would not hesitate to choose Sharkey Scuba for another scuba experience. I rented their underwater camera and our dive master, who was also the owner, took amazing photos of our dives. Thank you Sharkey Scuba... More

I have found Sharkey Scuba on tripadvisor and can only follow the other recommendations. i contacted Iain quite short term and he gave me some good advices reg. Siliman Islands, though he recommended not to do it from PHuket as it is to far. So none of his business, still he helped me. Fantastic. Once arrived in Phuket, i met... More

I was very very nervous (I don't even like putting my head under water) and my boyfriend kept throwing up from sea sickness on the boat. However! Oui was a fantastic instructor. I didn't think I would be able to even dive & I managed to do it twice. She was reassuring, considerate & you can tell the passion they... More
