Sunrise organised a liveaboard trip for me at very short notice, which ended up being a superb trip. Seamless booking process and very good recommendations concerning suitable boats, given my inflexible schedule. They took care of all the gear rental, which was transported to the boat. Clearly a very professional outfit, and highly recemmended. More

Undoubtedly the best experience we had in Thailand. We booked for the Phi Phi daytrip. The speedboat Prestige 1 was very fast and very comfortable. The dive-master "Mood" (sp?) was friendly, likeable, conscientious and ran the dives at a lovely relaxed pace - plenty of time to see everything. Mood was also great at pointing out a bunch of things... More

Did a day dive and a 5 day live aboard. Live aboard booked on the Internet from new Zealand and all went as advertised. Staff helpful and friendly. No problems here would recommend. More

I visited Karon, Thailand within the last month and chose Sunrise Divers for my diving course as there were a number of good reviews about this dive shop on Trip Advisor. While the shop (Jamie) was very friendly and helpful, the Dive Master I was paired with, Daniel Nichol, was not. I was very disappointed as I was really excited... More

Firstly I was a bit surprised that more diving centres co-operate in diving trips (one trip means one boat on which more dive centres deliver their customer, so also dive masters come from different dive centres) that is different than in Europe or Egypt for instance. But logistics work perfectly (pick-ups, separate equipment delivery on the boat etc). But finally,... More

We were so glad to join Sunrise for the discovery dive as it is still the most talk-about highlight of our holiday. Before even arriving at Phuket, Jamie answered all our inquiries patiently which truly stood out from other diving centers. We met with Jamie the day before our dive and he nicely guided us thru the fit out. We... More

I booked online through "Sunrise Divers", but the company seems to actually be called "Dive Asia", so I'm not really sure how that all works, but I don't really care. I must have tried to get in contact with over 10 different dive companies for our trip to Phuket, but Jamie is the only one that responded promptly and professionally.... More

After reviewing many dive companies online I chose Sunrise Divers for my introductory diving trip. They have a great reputation online and did not disappoint. My instructor, a British man named Neil, was both professional and courteous. I never felt unsafe at an time. With his guidance I was through the basics fairly quickly and onto a fantastic adventure beneath... More

Sunrise seem to get 5 out of 5 on a lot of the reviews here and its not surprising. We booked the advanced open water PADI course and the over night Phi Phi trip with them about a week before we came to Phuket. Unfortunately due to weather conditions the over night trip was not possible and the friendly &... More

One of the easiest dive companies I have ever dealt with. I first enquired online and got an immediate response,Jamie was very helpful and efficient,even suggesting various hotels for us to stay at. We didn't book immediately preferring to wait until we were in Phuket as we were a bit worried about the weather.However once we decided to arrange diving... More
