I went back to Sharkey Scuba I thought that since I felt it was such a nice and safe place to dive, Ian and Oui would be able to make my wife relax about water and try out diving, and they were great about it to say the least. They made her feel so relax and safe that she completly... More

Please Google 'Dive boat sinks Phuket' and see how many boats sink around Phuket and check the maritime weather reports yourself before committing to diving that day. We really liked Qui and Iain and chose them because of their good reputation and Iain's a Brit expat. We requested they put us on the biggest and best boat. Unfortunately, they took... More

Iain and Oui are both great! Iain was incredibly accommodating and responsive, even though we decided we wanted to go diving very last minute. He answered every question, sent us our itinerary and planned a great first diving experience for us. On the morning of the dive we were greeted by his wife, Oui, who spent the whole day with...

Can not recommend Sharkey enough. Iain was so helpful long before we even met him keeping us right with an answer to every silly email we sent him. As for the day itself it was a joy from start to finish. My girlfriend and I were on our very first dive and we were nervous but Iain put us at... More

It was an excellent service just from the start. The emails and then the pick up and not to mention the whole day when we went for the dive. It took me quite sometime to get used to it but Iain was so helpful and so patient with me. After the first dive the food was very good and then... More

I went diving with Iain and his wife based on the reviews from trip advisor and the reviews really lived up to the day out. I was travelling by myself and had such a good time diving. Iain really made me feel at home from the moment i met him and he was excellent at explaining how to dive. Iain... More

Thanks to Danny, Oui and Iain for their patience, knowledge and skill in organising our family dive day to Racha Yai. Danny took some underwater snaps to help us remember the first time out whole family has scuba dived together. We would certainly recommend these folks to anyone wanting to enjoy a day on and under the water. More

I started exchanging mails with Iain about a month before we arrived in Phuket. He was very patient with all the questions (many about the town and not the dive) and answered promptly. He was very encouraging and even got a friend of mine, who cannot swim, to test the waters. Iain even came over to our hotel a day... More
