What Our Guests Say
Another wonderful trip with Princess Divers!
This was my third time diving with Princess Divers in Koh Phi Phi and once again, it was a fantastic experience. The crew is both professional and fun and ensure everyone has a wonderful (and safe) day out. Louis was a fantastic dive master and the rest of the team was wonderful as well! I'm already looking forward to diving with them again soon.
First Scuba Diving Experience
We had our first scuba diving experience with Princess divers at the beautiful Phi Phi Islands. The entire crew was professional but also fun. We did 2 dives of 40-45 mins each and it was such a serene experience. Thanks to Michael, our diving instructor for ensuring we have a safe and enjoyable dive. Thanks to Vitor for answering all our questions pre-dive. Special mention to Amanda for all the beautiful pictures. Great group of people and thoroughly professional. Looking forward to diving with them again when we visit Phi Phi!
I can only issue an Impeccable Recommendation.
I've been feeling very comfortable from the beginning. Both my taster dive with two dives in total went smoothly. The staff and especially Roman who looked after me and my buddy are all very friendly and incredibly competent and very close to the customer. Our needs were extremely taken care of so that we felt very comfortable both in the shop and on board and later underwater. Our enthusiasm after the taster dive was so great that on our vacation we decided to make our OWD on the spot, this one we also conducted with Roman again. All in all there is abolutely nothing to expose, therefore I can recommend Princess Diving to everyone, no matter whether a professional or an absolute beginner because here everyone is well kept. Thanks for everthing dear Princess Diving Team
