  They pick me up on time and when we arrived at the peer where the boat was waiting, they took our temperature to make sure we were not sick. This was really great as I was concerned about being on a boat for 1 day with other people. The staff was great and really friendly. The drinks and the food really matched my expectations. They also provided us some snacks in the afternoon. The DJ was awesome and played some nice EDM and house music tunes.

  3. Discover Scuba Diving Racha Yai From Phuket

  Have you always wondered what it is like to breathe underwater? If so you do not necessarily have to pay for a course to have certification. Begin your diving adventure at your own pace. During the experience, you get an introduction and briefing on scuba diving and you are taught how to use the scuba diving equipment in shallow waters. Please note that this is not a scuba diving certification. Breathing underwater is a whole new experience - it takes a few minutes to get used to it. This is not a typical human behavior and it is completely normal to be a little hesitant to put your face in the water and inhale at the beginning. However, within a few moments, your body adapts and you will be taken over by the freedom of movement while discovering the amazing marine life!
