Best scuba diving centre in KK

Published on Nov, 2024

The best place to take your open water course. Best instructor- zarul. One to one session Patient informative supportive

Great fun during OW course

Published on Apr, 2024

Did my 2 day open water course and it was amazing. My instructor, Zarul, was very thorough in his teaching and made sure my buddy and I understood the safety skills before progressing with each part. Definitely recommend this company for anyone looking to take their ow course!

Superb Diving Experience in KK

Published on Dec, 2023

Best diving experience ever . We had the most awesome coach. DING DING was professional, patient, friendly and kind. We learnt the OW skills and practiced it hands-on. The water quality was good and observed colorful coral, fish and turtle, eagle rays. In total, we had four dives. First two on the first day was focused on skills and for the second day, mainly to practice diving at 15-17m. The diving course was well structured, organized and GoAquatic staff is friendly and energetic. A lot of positive vibes which made our nervousness go away !

Great diving experience

Published on Aug, 2023

Amazing experience diving with Go Aquatic. Zarul was a great instructor for the Junior Open Water and gave my kids the best introduction to diving. Lilly a fun and competent Divemaster and made me feel very much at ease after a 20 year hiatus. Would thoroughly recommend and would definitely dive with them again.

Great start to my diving journey!

Published on Aug, 2023

I am glad I went with this company! I've had the best experience. The instructor made me feel very comfortable and safe. He was calm, patient, and kind. The whole team was very accommodating, which gave really positive energy. I ended up feeling more comfortable underwater, and I have discovered a love for diving! The facilities were great, and the dive sites were amazing. Highly recommend!
