We were only 2 student with our instructor Theo, great teacher, he explained with details and patience. The diving part was awesome, we saw almost everything in our 2 days 1 nights trip, turtles, barracuda, nemo, and even had a manta ray swimming by! We will never forget this experience.
Thanks a lot to Khao Lak Explorer Team.
The gear was brand new, friendly instructor and office staff, we checked out other dive center but really like Khao Lak Explorer because there dive courses are all included with lunches and everything, so no surprises. The prices are one of the best in town as well. Check out there facebook page they always update pictures of the trips.
