Sea Bees Diving

Sea Bees Diving is one of those rare operations where the quality of the product matches the quality of the reputation. Family-owned since 1993 by the Scherer family, Sea Bees has steadfastly refused to grow beyond the point where they can maintain their personal standards — and the result is consistently one of the highest-rated dive centres in all of Thailand.

Three Decades of Excellence

Thirty years of operating the same dive centre, serving the same waters, does something remarkable to your product quality. The Sea Bees team knows Phuket’s dive sites with an intimacy that newer operations simply can’t replicate. They know where the seahorses hide, which week the manta rays tend to arrive, how the King Cruiser wreck has changed over the seasons.

Underwater Photography

Sea Bees’ underwater photography and videography instruction is genuinely world-class. Their photo instructors have published in major dive publications and lead dedicated photography trips to the Similan Islands each season. If you’re interested in improving your underwater image-making, this is the Phuket centre to choose.

The Liveaboard Fleet

Sea Bees’ MV Jutta Pao liveaboard offers the most premium Similan Islands experience available from Phuket — smaller guest capacity than most vessels, gourmet food, and an itinerary that prioritises quality dive time over quantity of sites.

What Guests Say

Sea Bees has earned its stellar ratings through genuine quality. Guest reviews consistently highlight the same themes: equipment that’s in perfect condition, guides who know their sites intimately, and a personal warmth that makes every trip feel special.
