สมุย ไดฟ์วิ่ง รีสอร์ท(Samui Diving Resort)

Had an amazing diving day with my 2 boys. Hakan managed to give us a great experience steering us towards the best underwater spots and marine life. We even managed to see a whale shark through Hakan’s skillful underwater navigation.

After researching the many diving shops on Koh Samui, I am so glad I booked Samui Diving Resort. I had got it down to 2 companies them and Discovery Divers, who interestingly were walking distance from where I was staying. The reason I went with Samui Diving Resort, despite them being on the opposite coast (only 10-15min drive with transfers included), was my wife only snorkels and he was able to get her on the same boat for a much better price. Hakkan, the owner provides a very personal service. He is full of energy and jokes. Speaks perfect English and German. His ethnic mix is a great story to hear. He and his wife own 3 villas at their resort, as well as organising dive and snorkelling trips. Email communication was easy. Transport well organised. Being a 1 man show (for the diving), he uses another dive companies boat, but this means he gets to choose the best boat to jump onto. We were on a twin hull, 1000hp powerboat which flew over the water and had no issues with waves or storm on the way back on day 2 of dives. This boat was 100% the best I saw over 2 days. Discovery Divers boat was the 2nd best. On my 2 days of diving I was 1:1 with Hakkan and on the 2nd day a couple were doing discovery diving with one of his guides. I am advised he always has very small intimate groups which is so much safer and better. I am a confident diver which meant we spent ages under. 45mins each on day 1 down to 30m and 60-85mins for day 2 down to 19m. However I am sure for less confident divers, his personal touch will leave you feeling very safe. I would 100% book with him again and sure the resort run by his wife would be a great place to stay.

2 duiken gemaakt met Hakan. Hele fijne instructeur die alles rustig uitlegt en persoonlijk contact heeft. Prachtige dingen gezien onder water! Ontvangst was goed en ook tijdens het duiken neemt hij je helemaal mee in de (veiligheid)procedures. Echt een top ervaring!

Samui Diving Resort is more than a hotel or diving center: Hakan & Nana received us like family in their home. The accomodation is very functional and fully equipped. We stayed in the 3 bedrooms villa and the kids enjoyed so much the swimming pool after a day at the beach, just walking distance. We didn't have a car and that was OK as you can reach Fisherman's Village in few minutes. As for diving, Hakan is an extremely experience dive master, but also very friendly and fun, making each dive even more enjoyable. We had a blast at Sail Rock: strongly recommended. All in all, you are into safe hands, and you'll enjoy your stay :-) Will be happy to come back.

Really liked the separated bungalows, each with 2 spacious bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, living room, and kitchenette. Way better than typical hotel rooms and lower price. A great place for scuba divers! We were only on Koh Samui three full days but managed 2 days of excellent diving arranged by the owner. Easy walk to good food, fisherman's village, shopping and the beach. Our family includes both Thais and Americans, and all were happy with the location and accommodations.

Excellent holiday, nice comfortable well priced bungalow. Hakan the man who can was an excellent host. Thank you very much for hooking me up with my new Aqualung Legends very happy, can't wait to come back and show them off to the Whale Sharks, see you again soon my friend and thank you for the awesome time.
