Everything was incredibly well done. The gear was in great shape, and our instructor for the day, Greg, was incredibly knowledgeable, interesting and qualified. We did not have a chance to meet Robert, but he called our instructor to check up on us, and overall it was a fantastic day. They also accomodated some special circumstances. From what I hear,...

We flew up to Phuket for the weekend especially to do a days dive trip on the Saturday, and again used Merlin Divers. From the pick up to the drop off everything went perfectly, we had 3 excellent dives and a fantastic divemaster - Neung was brilliant - finding so many of the small creatures that make diving in Thailand...

All I can say is, come rain or shine, Robert and his crew (our instructor was Paul Nebbs) made sure my husband and I had good, safe dives for our Scuba Diver course. Since the weather was bad on the second day our first open water dives could not be made at the original intended spot closer to Kamala Beach... More

Though diving conditions were quite rough it was still good. Very great experience to be... More

Organized and professional dive trip! Our guide Neung was pro through and through. Lucky me it was kinda off-season and not too crowded. If you dive, you'll like to go for the 3 dive tour out to king cruizer and shark point. Yep saw the sharks ;)

My daughter recently did her DM training with Robert Klein at Merlin Divers. I was most impressed with the excellent communications I had with Robert in setting up the trip, and in helping my daughter reach her goals with the dive course. He was professional throughout, and my daughter had a fantastic experience at Merlin Divers.
