Everything was perfect, quiet beach, discount on the accommodation, diving centre just 10 steps away fro the bungalow, and most of all the instructor: Thierry. He has been great, being able to speak both my language and my friend's one, so easygoing and funny for the whole time. We will remember the diving experience as one of the most interesting, and if we decide to keep going it's just because of the fun we had together. Thanks. Thierry: ciao bello, questo e il minimo che potessi fare, grazie di tutto, sei un grande! Hi guys,

I am a pastor in California, took 56 over to Thailand for a mission trip, we chartered a boat to Phi Phi Island, while the rest of the group was snorkeling, we gambled that we could find someone who would let us dive. We went past 3 places that were either closed or had all their people out in the water, you were there, geared us up, let us get out in the water for 45 minutes, the price was right, the service was terrific, just wanted to say thanks! A highlight for two guys! Just going through some business cards, and came across yours.

The instructors were professional, and I was able to do my course at my own pace. I was also able to work with multiple instructors throughout my course, learning a variety of techniques and skills. Long Beach is a quieter place to live, much more chilled out than the main part of the island, but all the parties are just a short walk away. The dive boats were well-equipped and comfortable, with none of the crowding ("get as many on the boat as possible!") tactics of other dive shops. A great place to live and dive!

Here comes greetings from Per and Eva in Sweden, the crazy people who dives in Sweden in November. We just wanted say "Thank You" for your excellent underwater guiding in the middle of March at Phi Phi Island. Watch out, we will be back! We send You some pictures from our latest trip to the north of Sweden. As You can see, the water is very white, cold and hard! So never forget, Phi Phi Island is a worm and beautiful place in March. Thank's Per and Eva Hi Trevor and all Long Beach Divers!

I made a good choice. I dived for 3 days and saw more marine life in those 3 days than in my last 40 dives. Had a great time. I will be back for sure.

My Instructor was fantastic and always took the time to make sure I understood everything. But because everyone at the dive shop took the time to help me, it was like I had 7 instructors and through that I got to see how different instructors work. Everything from assisting on Open Water courses, Advanced courses and DSD's to listening to me practise my Boat and Dive Briefings, there was always someone who had the time. They made me feel welcome and like part of the team, I miss it loads and can't wait to get back there. Thank you sooo much for the best 10 weeks ever. Annie X Dear Long Beach Divers,

I loved the fact that Long Beach Divers was situated right on a quiet stretch of beach, without the chaos of the busier parts of Phi Phi island. They helped me get cheap accommodation, and I loved that the dive sites were all less than thirty minutes from the beach. The dive sites themselves were fantastic, and I was allowed unlimited diving during my course--I logged more than seventy dives in just eight weeks. Although I was assigned one teacher, nearly every member of the Long Beach shop helped me with my training. It was the perfect course for a self-motivated person, as I was able to set the pace of my course to suit my own timetable. Best of all, I made some great friends that I know I will cherish for the rest of my life! I was looking for a dive shop with a more relaxed atmosphere to do my divemaster course.
