I was really nervous to try diving but my experience getting my PADI open water was great. I had Sam P as my instructor and he was super patient and helped me feel safe and in control at every step. I'm really excited to dive some more! 100% recommend

Extremely well run and very professional dive operator. Dive Masters took out small groups - including non divers to introduce them to the wonders under the sea. They filled tanks onboard with a compressed air machine on the boat. First class equipment, wonderful instructions and great people. Sam really helped my sister (who never dove before) to enjoy three dives, teaching basic skills and shepherding her through all conditions. She was safe and well looked after and I had a great time too. Eloise was a fantastic tour group leader and the boat crew was amazingly efficient and supportive. We also had a proper breakfast, very robust lunch and snacks/drinks throughout the day. It cost us $300 USD for two divers to do three dives each ( two on Koh Noi and one on Koh Yao). Highly recommended

I think the PADI course offered by 3willys is the most reasonably priced among dive centers in Phuket. The dive sites for the two days were Phi Phi Island and Racha Island.
My first day of pool training was guided by instructor Shu. Shu is a good instructor and it is hard to find a Chinese speaking instructor in Phuket, so I booked the course more than 1 month in advance. However, I was sick the next day, the dive center changed my instructor without notifying me. To be honest, I'm not satisfied because the new instructors don't know what the students' progress are. Me and my friend were shocked that why 3willys would change my instructor without notice but luckily we still met a good instructor after that.
My open water instructor is Sam, Parham Habibi. Since Sam didn't know how we performed in the water, before the first dive, Sam provided us with basic knowledge and made a lot of preparations. He always concerned about our safety and he checked our equipment before every dive. Plus, he also reminds us from time to time what to do next.
Although Sam is young, but Sam is a experienced, professional, responsible and careful instructor with strong leadership skills. His teaching way made me and my friends dive with confidence and finally we passed the OW course.
I would definitely recommend instructor Sam, me and my friend really enjoyed the fun dive with Sam! He is also a great underwater photographer, the following pictures are taken by Sam.😉
By the way, the MV Mermaid provided excellent foods and service (compare with Malaysia). I felt relaxed, enjoyable after diving, this experience made my time in Phuket unforgettable.🤗

This was my first diving experience. We completed a 4-day course together with the instructor Sam. He was incredibly clever, helpful and kind. He had a great commitment to diving and taught us a lot. We spent a day in the pool for the basics and 3 days at various locations. On the boat we had both a breakfast buffet and a lunch buffet every day, and there was a professional crew on board.

Great tourguide/teacher for my open water advanced course! It is worth it to combine your diving trip with a course, as you will have almost the same experience plus a new certificate!

The team are very experienced and know the area well. I have now in 2022 had 25 dives with the company - including their booking and management of a liveaboard at the Similians. Both me and my wife learned to dive with team and their delegated instructor Sam is excellent.
The family business is growing - which is a testament to hard work and love of diving.
Will and May have been exceptional in taking us through the whole diving process.
I would recommend this company.

Me and my girlfriend just finished our 3 days diving course. It was so much fun! At the first day our instructor Frank learned us a lot of important stuff in the pool, where we practiced our divers skills half day. The second and the third day we did diving in the open water where again we practice our skills but deep down in the ocean. This guys are so professional and we will definitely come back one day to do advanced open water course, because diving in Thailand and also with them is unforgettable experience! 😁😁😁

I signed up to learn diving here because everyone else in the reviews seems to be raving about how kind and patient the instructors here are. Imagine my shock to have had the misfortune to be taught diving by Julie, who is both rude and impatient. I was nervous about learning diving, and she was not only not understanding about it, but treated me as a nuisance. When I couldn’t do a skill well, or was nervous about doing what to me was a difficult skill underwater or in open water, she raised her voice at me and yelled at me like a teacher scolding a child. She was unclear in her instructions, and if I tried to ask a question to clarify what she meant, she shut me off. As a result, I fumbled around unsure of how to go about preparing my equipment, and it was the Thai boat crew or other diving instructors that noticed that my equipment was worn the wrong way, and they were the ones who helped me get it right before I stepped off the boat. I felt so unsafe and disrespected. The whole experience learning from Julie was horrible.
