My first dive into the world of diving was not just an adventure for me, but a real gift from my soulmate, an old dream came true. Thanks to CHill Diving, attentive and charming instructor Nikita, who not only explained the basics of diving during the briefing, but also shared his excellent sense of humor, making our acquaintance with the diving world unforgettable. On the first day, I had three dives, two at Racha Noi Island and one at Racha Yai Island. From the second dive, thanks to the instructor, I felt like a fish in the water and was able to enjoy a walk through the underwater world. After the first day of diving and the emotions I received, I convinced my half to dive too. Moreover, we decided to study and become certified specialists in order to continue exploring the depths of the ocean.
As a memorable addition, we received a beautiful video, which now serves as a reminder of our unforgettable adventure. Thanks to Nikita, we not only mastered new skills, but also studied, passed exams successfully and received certificates with which we will plan new dives. Many thanks to Chill Diving for their hard work.
Nikita, a personal, huge thank you from us.
See you soon.

My first dive in my life. It was just unbelievable. Nikita explained everything in as much detail as possible, showed me, and answered all the questions with a joke. When we were submerged, he constantly asked if everything was okay, if it wasn't all right, then we surfaced and he gave advice. He did everything to make you want to come back to him! And I think I'll be back)
Additionally, I took more photos and videos, very cool shots came out, just a ton of content. It is clear that he really tried to choose the angle. In general, it's just a delight, I recommend it to every tourist who comes to Tai

For many years, when we came to our beloved Phuket, we dreamed of scuba diving, but something didn't work out all the time... This year we decided. According to reviews, Nikita, a diving instructor, and his young company Chill Driving were found. We called each other, sent photos of our passports, our weight, height, and leg size, and set a diving day. The next morning, a minibus with a cheerful driver arrived to pick us up, and, gathering three more people along the way, we set off for the port in the south of the island. That's where we met our instructor Nikita. Our other fellow travelers were met by their instructors and we all boarded a special bus that took us from the shore along a long pier to the ship itself, on which we had to make this wonderful journey. There were several rules on the ship that we had to follow. First, everyone on the ship is barefoot. We took off our shoes and, together with Nikita, went on our first acquaintance with the ship. I must say right away that the whole atmosphere from the team here was very positive and friendly, we were greeted with smiles, warmly and everyone was very attentive. Breakfast, coffee, tea, and fruits were waiting for us on the ship. It took place on the lower deck - in the "dry zone", i.e. one does not go down there in wet clothes. There are also 2 quite normal toilets. Upstairs there is a large deck under a canopy, with tables and long benches. In the middle is the seafood kitchen, which was closed in the morning, and for lunch it fed us tasty and varied enough. No one will stay hungry, for sure! We walked to the island for about an hour and a half. Nikita gave us a very detailed briefing, told us about the diving equipment, the signs for communicating there, and the important rules. It was not a dry story, but a very interesting and extremely useful conversation, seasoned with humor and real-life examples. Nikita has a certain gift for presenting information not formally, but vividly and in such a way that it remains with the listener forever. We dived twice for about 30 minutes, the equipment, suits and fins are in good condition, everything was selected by our instructor according to our size. All the time we were underwater, Nikita was by our side, not taking his eyes off us, while making videos and photos with our participation for us. Guys, it wasn't scary to dive with Nikita for the first time! You feel like you have a professional around who knows exactly and thoroughly what to do in any situation. We didn't even waste time coping with our excitement and anxiety, but immediately began to enjoy the amazing bright underwater world that opened up for us! Nikita has given us such confidence and calmness! We descended gradually, enjoying and being surprised every second! We saw moray eels, flute fish, large and small barracudas, sea urchins, corals, stars of different colors, and countless schools of colorful fish flashed like glass in a kaleidoscope! There is a miracle at every step! And there's an attentive and empathetic instructor with a bell nearby to draw our stunned attention from time to time to where to go next) The second dive was a little deeper and took place after a hearty and friendly lunch. I must say that we were lucky, it was Monday and there weren't many people on the ship besides us. After the second dive, we managed to swim a little by ourselves near the ship. There is unlimited bottled water and cola on the ship, chilled, besides tea, coffee, biscuits, and fresh, beautiful fruits. The ship's crew, cheerful young guys, helped with diving equipment, launching and boarding. In summary, I want to say, friends, if you are looking for a professional, reliable instructor, do not hesitate, consider that you have already found him - this is Nikita from Chill Driving! Our diving experiences are now enough for a whole year, and we will definitely continue diving with Nikita the next time we come here! We wish Nikita the development of his company, great success in the business that he loves with all his heart and in all other businesses and projects, family happiness and all the best!!! We've already shared the excitement of this adventure with a few friends, and they're eager to follow our path too.) And I wish the same to everyone!

Remembering the dives on the islands of Racha Yai and Racha Noi, goosebumps run) Nikita falls in love with diving from the first meeting, from the first briefing, the organization of the whole process, starting with the meeting on the pier at altitude. I definitely recommend this dive club in Phuket and in particular Nikita as an instructor. It was awesome! I've just returned home, but I already want to go back to the endless sea 🩵
Nikita, thank you very much for this unforgettable adventure and see you soon!!!!!)

Chill Diving, dive instructor Nikita, many thanks to him for all our dives! Yesterday was the third dive with him! For the first time, my husband did not understand why I wanted it so much and why it was necessary at all! Taking into account my husband's harmful nature, Nikita talked to him for a long time and gave him a briefing before diving! During the dive, when a panic occurred, he calmed down! I understand that this is the job of an instructor, but not everyone can clearly, calmly persuade, explain, calm down and pay attention to everyone else in the group! Therefore, apart from saying that he is a super instructor and you only need to dive with him, there is nothing more! Makes very cool underwater shots and photos that will remain in your memory forever!!! I highly recommend it! In the video, my husband, who started getting a kick out of the whole process on the second dive!

The best dive I've ever had!
I want to thank Nikita for his professional work and the organization of the dive.
Friendly atmosphere.
An unrealistic location.
Comfortable transfer from the hotel to the pier.
Excellent diving equipment.
A boat with excellent staff.
Delicious breakfast and lunch (everything is cooked in the open sea).
In my opinion, one of the most important advantages is professional photo and video shooting of diving. The content turns out to be cosmic!
If you want to get unforgettable impressions and emotions, then Chill Diving is for you!
Everything was at the highest level!
In general, 5 out of 5!
Recommend 👍🏼

Diving is just super! There was no wave, the weather was calm and clear sky, we were advised a certain day, depending on the weather at sea via the Internet, so that we would not get seasick, because I was worried about my wife.
It was the first time we went with her, she was very worried, but an experienced instructor calmed us down and gave us a very clear briefing: he explained everything and conducted training, showing everything directly to the equipment that we had to use. Then we plunged into the sea, such beauty! There were a lot of emotions and we were still filmed.
It turned out to be good shots, we bought them as a keepsake. If you doubt whether to go or not, definitely go! And to take pictures - there will be something to remember and show. Not a video, but a photo. They even asked what format to shoot for, social networks or TV, we chose TV - the quality couldn't be better. But I didn't understand how to attach it here, maybe I'll add a review later if my son shows me how.
To try something new is a charge of vitality for a long time. Thanks again!

Hello, I would like to express my gratitude to Nikita Semenov, a diving instructor.
Thanks to him, his attention, patience, knowledge, and individual approach, I was able to overcome my fear of the first breath underwater.
I always thought it was easy, but it turned out not to be that simple. And Nikita didn't give up, didn't quit, calmed me down with conversations and persuasions, spending his personal time on lunch - he helped me immerse myself for the first time.
The second dive was already wonderful.
So for anyone who feels insecure for the first time, we recommend Nikita.

We went diving with my husband, and I can say - it was just a blast how we liked it!
At first, I was very doubtful, there were fears, but after I talked with the instructor and after the first test breath under water, I was sure that all this was not in vain! 🐳
When we made the first dive, we realized that this would not be the last dive in our lives 🤿
Being in another dimension under the water column is something! We advise everyone! And be sure to take underwater photography, amazing shots remain in memory!

I found Nikita's company, NDL Instructor Rank II, by searching maps with a location closer to the hotel and never regretted it. Everything is clear, with a sense. And he will tell you, and show you, and even teach you. I recommend it to everyone who goes to Phuket.
