“Easily the most professional/accommodating dive company I have gone underwater with!”

Reviewed 28 March 2012

people found this review helpful

I am a fair weather PADI DM and have seen my fair share of dive operators, some good, some not so. Sea Bees redefines the good for me and for a number of reasons: 1. Selling: The least pushy representative in the local Khao Lak; Pascal. Couldn't be more accommodating, took a good 20 minutes to guide me through the... More

I'll start with the good stuff first. I've got about 100+ warm water dives, and am pretty comfortable underwater. I somehow convinced my girlfriend that she wants to live on a boat for 3 days. We did the Similian Islands boat Liveaboard on the Genesis, with our Pam as tour leader and Beat as guide. We couldn't have asked for... More

“Good service but very expensive”

Reviewed 22 March 2012

person found this review helpful

I went to the Similan Islands with Sea Bees and I had a great day. Unfortunately the fast boat Sea Bees is normally using was out of order so we had to take a very slow boat to the Islands which took 3 hours. In my opinion that is far too long to go to a not very special dive... More

Dear Barbara, thank you for the feedback. Unfortunately, all boats have the occasional hiccough and our Stingray had an engineering problem in the time you stayed in Khao Lak, To service our guests in the best possible way we had to bring up one of our vessels based in Phuket to replace our catamaran. This boat is not as fast... More

This a definitely a very professional operator. Everything is well organised, there's focus on safety and there's still a nice atmosphere. Their day boat to Similans is awesome and the food they serve is delicious. Great staff and crew as well. They are more expensive than competition, but they do offer a very good product - as long as you... More

“Very good dive company”

Reviewed 31 January 2012

We arrange our dive trip (one day) through Le Meridien Khao Lak and were impressed with Sea Bees from the beginning. The dives were expensive (about $230 per person to the Similans) but well organised and as relatively new divers, we were very comfortable with them. Our instructor (Andrea) was great and walked us through the process of getting together... More

We appreciate you taking the time to comment. As relatively new divers, we are pleased that you found the experience a positive one and that Andrea was so helpful. With respect to the coral, the bleaching of two years ago has meant that some areas are slower in their recovery but the prognosis is looking good and the effects of... More

My husband and I have done nearly 200 dives and in our own opinion are already very experienced divers due to the previous dives we have logged and the frequency we dive - normally 3 full holidays a year and at least 15 dives on each trip. I chose Sea Bees after checking out many different companies - there is... More

My wife and I booked a three day live aboard in the Similan Islands through Sea Bees in mid-December.

I am a Divemaster with over 250 dives and have dived all over the world.

Hi Tony, thanks for coming back to me and the provided information. Your comment about your Divemaster reflected your experience and therefore we have to except it like it was. As operating in a service industry where direct supervision is mostly not possible, we only can rely on our instructions and rules will be transposed later under water. Sadly this... More
