   Hi!
   here I am in Paris again, I just want to thank all the staff at the Long Beach Divers and say hello to everybody. I keep very very nice souvenirs of my holidays in Phi PHi. The first dives of my life toghether with you in such amazing dives sites were fantastic. Sharks, turtles, frogfish, lion fish, eels…just few of the animals I met during our dives over there…now they are all written in my diver book…not bad as a beginning huh?

   I was looking for a dive shop with a more relaxed atmosphere to do my divemaster course. 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!

   Dear Long Beach Divers,
   Just a quick email to let you know how much I loved doing my divemaster with you. 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

   I did my divemaster at Long Beach and it was the best experience I could have asked for. 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!

   Hi guys,

   just a quick note in order to thank you for the amazing experience u offered us. 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!
