Comments	Sea Fun Divers was super cooperative and helpful in booking dives and trasporting back and forth to day trips. Nitrox was available and blends were always 32-33%. Boat boys were very helpful on boat. Dive instructors lead dive trips and the ratio never got greater than 3-4 divers per instructor. The instructoirs tried to group divers with similar experience. While the profile was not strictly enforced, the dive time was. Occasionally the boat would have snorklers on board and the boat would get congested. Phuket has a limited number of dive sites worthy of diving and they all require day trips by boat. The dive operators try to spread out and rotate the dive sites but often there are numerous boats at the same dive site which can be overwhelming for new divers that get confused underwater. Spent 3 weeks diving and got bored with the same dive sites on week three. Visibility varied depending on the rain, seas and current. Dove on the wreck King Cruiser and 2 of the 3 dives (3 different days) were low visibility. Did see a whale shark on one of the low vis days. Lots of soft corals and marine life. Lots of colors and macros for photos. Would recommend to other divers. Will explore the live aboard option next trip to Phuket. Sea Fun Divers were great to dive with and I would recommend them to anyone traveling to Phuket.
