Student Comments

Dear Palm Beach Divers, we would like to thank for 10 days of fun & pleasure ! We joined you for 210 hours under water, we have had 336000 liters of air, 168000 liters of Nitrox and unknown amount of beers at night in San Sunset Bar or at the dive center. We enjoyed the boat trip and introduced Thor into "ice-cube-diving"...We especially want to point out the flexibility of Lisa's dive planning and the deciscion to have 2 dives at dive sites with mantarays !! Remarkable as well was the 40rd birthday party for Lisa. We have been honored to be invited and had a lot of fun ! A good party as well was the "snorkeltest" from the new Padi Divemasters and our new Nitrox diver Tom. We enjoyed the show and felt like part of the staff. Last but not least we want to thank Matty and Claus for the best guidance under water and on the boat. We completely enjoyed our holiday staying with you ! "Die Kreuzigungstruppe" (Lilly, Tom, Silke, Petra, Juergen, Ralf & Kai)

Hey guys!! Just a wee note to say thank you for doing such a fantastic job during my IDC. Cant wait to get back and start teaching!!! Back in about 4/5 weeks so will be in touch about the specialities. Hope you're both well xx

Viki, Scotland

I can't say thanks enough to Lisa and Lars for their hospitality, professionalism, and generosity. Not only am I thrilled to have completed my Open Water Certification with Palm Beach, but my traveling companions had a blast on the tours that you helped them find. Thanks to you, we got a real feel for life on Koh Lanta, saw some absolutely beautiful sights, and made a handful of new friends.

Eddie, England

Dear Palm Beach Divers Team, Thank you for some supreme teaching in Open Water Diving and a special thanks to Jesper, to my knowledge the best diving instructor north of the South Pole. Kind Regards

Jes Thomsen, Denmark, 2011

Very well organized, an excellent service on boat, land and dives, Very friendely and professional, the best I have found in 20 years

Gabriella, Padi Instructor, Italia, 2011

Thank you very much for makingus discover the unknown world of ocean.. When reaching the sandy bottom, it felt like walking on the moon for the 1st time, a small fin kick for experienced divers, but a big one for us beginners. You have shared with us your passion & knowledge and you have helped me overcoming the cold ! Thanks Adam & Simon and all the best for your amazing journey ! P.S: And this is only the beginning ! We highly recommend starting this adventure with Adam, he perfectly combines fun & teaching !

Severine & Niro, France & Switzerland, 2011

Hi Lisa, How are you. Our family had a great outing with your staff, enjoyed every minute of it. your staff is very friendly and professional. safety is always the top priority. I have uploaded some of the photos on facebook, some of my friends are starting to enquire where is this place. I hope to return soon with them. as promised some of the photos taken.

Raymond & Adrian Pau, Malaysia, 2011

Thank you so much for a great experience !! I am definetely "hookt" now. Jesper was an awesome instructor and I will recommend this place to everyone I know. Hope to see you again ! Hugs,

Jim from Sweden, 2011

Who would have thought you could turn a surfer into a diver ? Well done Remco ! A great big thanks to all for making learning fun, being so supportive, & knowledgeable & above all a real good laugh ! Had an absolutely amazing time under water and above. Thank you, thank you, thank you. You're all fab... even the slippery seasnake, you know who you are.. ! Please come & see us when you are in UK if you are down south. Who knows perhaps I can make surfers out of divers ? Cheers all, I will def. be back, love,

Naomi, England, 2011

Thank you so much to everyone at Palm Beach Divers ! From the very first email we knew how special this diving experience was going to be - Lisa went out of her way to help us organize a special honeymoon package ! ( a scuba review for me and an Open Water Course for my husband and heaps of fun extras !) She also greeted us with smiles and humor every morning - as did everyone else in the dive shop. Our Padi instructor Pan was THE BEST. We could not have asked for a more experienced, patient or fun mentor ! We love you Pan, "the Aquaman " ! Next time we're in Lanta we will definetely come back to dive with you again ! Big thanks,

Ash & Christina Hazelwood, Australia, 2011

Hi Lars and Lisa (and all the other guy's/ girls at PBD) On the bottom, you guys rock's! Thanx for introducing me to the fantastic world underwater, I really enjoyed! Also thanx for being a great company, a shame we already have to go. Hope to see you all sometime! Cheers! Jesper

Jesper, Denmark

We've gone diving in Vancouver, the Bahamas & Hawai before, and this was our most amazing diving experience & diving school ever by far ! Adam was an awesome instructor & Lisa is so lovely and helpful, thank you Palm Beach Divers !

Ann & Colin Jr, Vancouver, Canada, 2010/2011

We had a fantastic and surprising time under water and above- I wasn't even certain I was diving when we arrived for a vacation and I ended up doing the full Padi Open Water Course with Pan as my Padi instructor. My most memorable moments were seeing the crazy colours of the octopus and sea turtles and having Pan spot things when I was sure nothing was there-especially the cuttlefish ! Also he pushed me off the boat, to do my swimming test to shore and gave me his shirt, so that the "aggressive plankton" did not eat me on the way. Goes without saying, Lisa has been our "rock" for the whole vacation. Thanks guys !!

Jesse & Anima, USA, 2010/2011

We are so glad that we decided to go with Palm Beach Divers. When Lee showed up to our bungalows, we knew that this was the place to be ! The staff is fabulous and Koh Haa was incredible. We felt very safe and informed with this professional and kind team. Claus was perfect and such an amazing teacher ! He really made us feel at home. We are 4 Californian Vagabonds who have an even deeper (no fun intended) love for the sea now. Thank you ! Kap kun mah krap ! Peace, love + 18 meters deeper,

Levi & Brooke, California, USA, 2010/2011

Hi ! We are a spanish couple that made the Padi Open Water Diver Course one week ago. We just write to thank you to Simon again (the Greek boy). We learnt and had fun at the same time with him so, we think he is a very good instructor and we will recommend him to our friends ( and Claire). Everybody was very nice with us. We hope to come back for some fundives or maybe the Advanced Open Water !!

Jorge & Ingrid, Spain, 2010/2011

We had a great holiday, diving was very nice, especially the MANTA's !! Friendly people and good staff. Thank you all for a great time, hope to be back soon !

Kim, Holland, 2010/2011

Elden & Rita Smith would like to truely thank Palm Beach Divers for doing such an excellent job on our snorkeling trips ! There was great care taken to keep each of our groups safe. Everyone was pleasent & helpful. This agency truely deserves all succes !

Elden & Rita, 2010/2011

1ere plongee a Ko Lanta: incroyable !!! J'aurais jamais imagine voir autant de choses ! Au debut j'etais un petit peu inquiete mais finalement j'ai adore decouvrir la plongee ici. Merci a toute l'equipe, c'etait genial ! Et j'espere a bientot ?!

Magdalena & Mounzy, France & Switzerland

My "diving story" began 5 years ago when we arrived on Koh Lanta intending to stay for 4 days, but ending up staying for 5 weeks ! Steve was one of the first customers and, from the first meeting with "fello Essex man" Lee on the beach, to meeting Lisa & Lars and their other staff, we were made to feel like friends and very welcome. Steve completed his Padi Open Water and Advanced Open Water Courses, while I, with my enormous fear of Open Water couldn't even go onto the boat ! We returned in April 2009 to a lovely warm welcome, some familiar faces along with some new friends to make ! Steve quickly embarked on dives and this time I was "brave enough" to try snorkelling. Heidi was very reassuring during all 6 snorkelling trips and make me wonder why I had left it so long before looking into this amazing underwater world ! Back at Christmas 2009, with Zoe and Tom, who took to diving as quickly as their dad. I remained snorkelling. Finally in February of this year (2010) I made the decision that I wanted to learn to dive - and there was only one place that could teach me- Palm Beach Divers ! So we returned in April, Steve ready as ever to get back into the water and myself - very nervous ! I need not have been: everybody was so encouraging from my first day in the classroom, to my first step into open water. Remco has to be one of the most patient and encouraging teachers I have met. Despite my numerous attempts at the mask removal task, he kept encouraging me and telling me I could do it. Lisa's time and patience also with the mask task, was very much appreciated. Thank you everybody once again, Sue

Sue, England, 2010 / 2011

Dear all instructors, hairdressers and Adam, Thank you very much for the instruktion and banter. We all had a fantastic time diving and spending time in your company !! Mega thanks to Pan: SUPERSTAR !! I'd also like to give a special thanks to Remcofor bringing the clippers whilst we were drunk. I am sure I will repay the favor soon ! Thanks guys, see you soon !

Dunc, UK, 2011

Thank you so much for all of our training, it was soooo amazing and that Manta Ray was unreal! It is really sad to be leaving despite the fact that we have already stayed longer than planned. I will see you all next year. Keep finding whale sharks. Lots and lots of love. PS: Hin Daeng with the whale shark was INCREDABLE!

Gosel, England

Lisa, Lars, crew, Thank you so much for looking after us and for taking us to some amazing dive sites. Hin Muang rocks! Loved the Manta's - definitely highlight of my trip. You made us all feel very welkcome. Your excellent service & fantastic staff made my trip too Lanta all the more memorable. Thanks to you all, maybe pop by one day! Claire

Claire, England

A great Christmas dive !! 1st dive for me and see a SHARK - so great !! Thank you very much, greetings,

Silvia & Gernot, Germany, 2010/2011

We had 3 days with new impressions, experiences and a lot of fun ! We were a bit nervous, but Claus, our instructor did a good job and therefore our 3rd and 4rd dive was really amazing ! Everything on the boat was organized perfect by the staff. Thanks to all for making our first diving experiences a lot of fun ! Greetings,

Tanja & Wolfgang, 2010/2011

I never thought I would do the Open Water Course and become a diver, but after I met Adam my mind changed. His enthusiasm, knowledge & love of the sport rubbed of & that was it: I had to give it a go. Adam also is a genuine nice bloke, which made the whole thing really enjoyable. Simple & clear instructions from Adam made it easy & relaxing to pick up the knowledge needed to pass the course. Wish everybody at Palm Beach Divers the very best & hope to see you soon !

Ben Carroll, England, 2010/2011

Thank you very much for a greatest experience of my life ! You all are very nice and helpful. Thank you Lisa, Thank you Klaus,Thank you Adam!!! I am very glad I have met you all ! Goodluck ! Adams Angle:

Zuzanna, Czech Republik, 2010/2011

Diving with Palm Beach Divers was very good. Nice crew and very profesional. The whale shark was amazing! Levke & Hendrik thank you for the advanced course i liked it very much specially the buoyancy training :-) Lisa, Lee, Lars and the rest of the crew thank you for a great diving holiday!

Bert, Holland

Hi Lisa, Stom dat we niet naar je geluisterd hebben, we hebben inderdaad redelijk slecht weer gehad op Samui. In ieder geval hebben we bij jullie een aantal leuke duiken gehad. Bedankt voor alles en de groeten aan Lee, Lars, Hendrik en de rest van de crew. Als er mensen jullie kant op gaan zullen we jullie zeker aanbevelen! Misschien tot een volgende keer. groetjes

Frits, Maarten, Arjan en Ronald (Amsterdam), 23/11/2006

Thank you a million for every fish and coral we saw. From the Carribean to S.Africa and around the world thebest diving & the best people here in Koh Lanta Palm Beach Divers. Hin Muang + Hin Daeng!!! Thanks a million again. Ciao, Goodbye, Namaste, Sawadee, Sabadee, Gracias...

D. Betts

Hallo Lisa! Wir moechten uns nochmals ganzherzlich bei dir bedanken, fuer die tolle organisation unseres Live abords in Similan. Wir habben die vier tage vollgenossen und zu unseren Highlights zaehlten zwei 10 minuten lange dives mit Mantas, sowie ein Leoparden Haiund zwei gigantische Napoleon fische. Ganz lieve gruesse an die gesamte crew und wir wuenschen euch allen ein glueckliches und erfolgreiches 2007.

Moni & Benno

Hi Lisa, thanks again for all the great diving when we were in Lanta last week, it was really fantastic! We went up to the Similan Islands in the end, managed to find a 2 day liveaboard going from Koh Lak. The diving was fantastic but nothing quite beat swimming with the mantas! That was magical! Maybe one day I'll pop back over to Lanta and you guys can take me diving again! Take care

Claire and Dave

Thank you for restoring my bad experience of diving into good ones. It is wonderful toovercome fear and be able to enjoy scubadiving again. All thanks to wonderful instructors. P.S: I will not let 17 years pass again untill I dive the next time!

Stina Jakobssen, Sweden, 2006

Thank you so much for leading us to our first Manta! What an experience, and that on the first day of diving in Thailand. Had a great time with very professional instructions from Lee, Hendrik and Cathryn and enjoyed an outstanding service from the whole crew. We will be back for sure!

Monika & Benno

Hi Lars, One and a half year after completing my open water course with you, I went for my first dive last week. The evening before, I tried to remember how to dive, and a lot of what you taught me started to come back into my mind. (Bangkok Women Rarely Are Female, keep breathing, fuuuuuuuck, and more) Thanks for the great lessons on Koh chang! Congratulations on your wedding and groeten aan Lisa,

Constantijn, 10/12/2006

Hi guys, It was great to spend these couple of days with you. Really enjoyed following my advanced course, and have the opportunity to see so many fishes. But the thing I will remind the most is "don't grab the turtle!" See you next time in Lanta.

Eddie, 2006

Hello, Je suis vraiment heureuse d'avoir realiser cette experience avec vous tous. Maintenant je suis prete pur de nouvelles experiences! J'avais un enorme plaisir de revenir ici a fin de continuer ma formation et voir de nouveau toutes ces merveilles. Thanks a lot

Nathalie, 2006

Lars en Lisa, Nogmaals dank voor jullie gastvrijheid we hebben genoten. De reis terug gaf wat vertraging maar alles is gelukkig goed gekoemen. Na de relaxing period zijn we weer retour in het hectische bestaan van alle dag, we denken met weemoed terug aan de strandbiertjes en de zonsondergang. All the best, liefs en groeten aan de rest van de crew.

Marc, 11/12/2006

Hi Lisa & Lars, I just wanted to drop you a quick line to thank everyone at Palm Beach Divers - and especially Levke- for teaching me how to dive. Obviously I know there is an awful lot that I still have to learn and master, but the 4-day Open Water course I've just finished has given me a real desire to go on and dive some more - which i guess is what it's all about really!!! I honestly believe I'll come back to Palm Beach Divers again when I'm next in Thailand and want to dive around the islands of the Andaman Sea...... Thanks again for a fabulous time.

Aaron Ireland, 11/12/2006

It was the best thing I did. Walking into the Palm Beach Divers shop. Great experience. got hooked right away and to quote Arnold Schwarzenegger in Terminator 1: "I'll be back". Special thanks to Dee and Iep for instructing and guiding me through the coral reefs. And off course thanks to the rest of the Palm Beach Divers team!

Barend, 28/12/2006

Cheers guys... had a great time and experience taking my course with Palm Beach Divers. Thanks for the dives... Hopefully I will return in the not so distant future for more diving... All the best!

Adam Duffy, 03/01/2007

Palm Beach Divers You are awesome. I couldnt be happier with the open water dive course. It was an amazing experience. Thank you!

2007

Dear Palm Beach Divers, Lars & Lisa, What a way to start off the New Year.To be honest after day 1 I was a bit freaked out about breathing 10 meters under water with sharks!!! Lars made the process so easy & calmy so after some time I was relaxed & marveling at the scenery below! thank you for your knowledge, patience and excitement for diving. Thanks!

Kate Seper, 2007

Palm Beach Divers, Thank you for helping me fulfill my dream of getting certified to scuba dive in Thailand. Being in the middle of a school of fish underwater is a level of joy that is hard to describe. Lars, you were patient and kind and we felt 100% safe with you accompanying us. I couldn't be happier with the whole experience!

Ariel Roth, 05/01/2007

Dear Guestbook, I can't believe that just in 4 days I got confident enough to dive to as deep as 18 m. Considering that first time i went under water at the shore I panicked and wanted some land below my feet... But now, as I am a certified diver and sitting here on land writing this book, I'd rather take my scuba equipment and jump! One of the best experiences, huge thanks for that!

Erla Pulli, Sweden, 09/01/2007

Today was a great day full of experiences. We haven't seen a clowd all day! But we've seen a turtle, sharks and on our way back we saw dolphins! Once again, we have trulyenjoyed the day and had lots of fun snorkeling. All the best!

Johanna & Joakim, 2007

Thank you Lars for the try dive from the beach. Thank you Lisa for talking me in to the course again after my panic attack in the classroom. Aspecial thank you to you Levke for your patience with me and my horrible attacks. You are a very good instructor. Today I'm very glad that I made this! Take care, best regards...

Sofie Ljung, Sweden, 27/01/2007

To all at Palm Beach, Lisa & Lee in particular, a huge big thanks! Lisa your amazing help & personality calmed me down. We knew Lanta was great & really wanted to dive with you! Thank you for the whale shark, leopard sharks, turtles,.... We will be back!

Sarah & Simon, London & New Zealand, 29/01/2007

Thank you Lisa and everybody at PBD. Did open water course and realy enjoyed every bit of it. Hope to come back and do more dives with you.

30/01/2007

Thank you so much Palm Beach Divers for all your friendliness and open minds. We enjoyed our courses and really want to say a special thanks to Levke who took care of us! No whaleshark or turtle this time but we will be back!! :-) Thanks for now.

Anneleen & Anthony, 02/02/2007

Thanks for those nice dives & pleasant company. I've had a good time & will go back to Europe in a very relaxed state of mind. But in case I come back, I order some Manta rays & Whalesharks. To all fellow guests: don't feed chocolate croissants to the cats. Cheers,

Siggi, 08/02/2007

Staff & crew of Palm Beach Divers, Never in my last 2 decades of travels have & been so happy with any Dive Crews. Personal service, interaction skills, knowledge base skills and complete client/ customer service are superior and well presented. Thank you very much & see you in December.

William S. Morrison, 10/02/2007

To everybody I met at Palm Beach Divers, After 11 years of not diving one single time I finally came to my senses and did something about it. Much thanks to how professional you seemed to be and how much fun you seemed to have while doing it. And everything I saw was true. I felt completely safe and i had a lot of fun. (Even though Hendrik was insane :-)) Thanks I hope you'll be here next year! Lots of love,

Vanessa, Sweden, 15/02/2007

To Lars, Lisa, the cats, the skipper and more, Thank you for teaching us with skill and humor.

Hallo, ihr lieben PBD's! Nun hat uns der Alltag wieder und wir denken wehmutig an unseren Urlaub zuruck!

Sabine und Gerd aus Wien,24/02/2007

Beste Lisa en Lars, 2 dagen met jullie gedoken nabij Koh Lanta en heb 2 perfecte dagen gehad waarbij ik veel gezien heb onderwater. Alles is top geregeld en georganiseerd bij jullie.

Lisa, Hello! My name is Chris Meyer, I went diving with you guys back in January, with the Britisch fellow Lee as our Dive Master. I came with my friend Chris Busse, his girlfriend Not and my wife Sunanta. I was packing my bag tonight and found one of your Palm Beach Diver flyers and it brought back a lot of fond memories. Especially of Lanta. I also realized I had never contacted you guys after we left to tell you what a good time we had and how much we enjoyed your hospitality. I just wanted to tell you we had a great time all around, we would recommend Palm Beach Divers to anyone! Please thank Lars, Thomas and most especially Lee for us!

Chris Meyer, 10/08/2007

We saw a whale shark on our very last dive (secret garden) for our Koh Lanta trip. A fantastic ending to 5 days of fun diving. Apologies if my boys gave Palm Beach Divers a major headache underwater! Thumbs up to your dive operation, very good job done!

Connie, Australia, 18/12/2007

Thanks to all the staff for a great week! From a completebeginer to a (apparently) A.O.W.D in 5 days, thanks to Hendrik's great and patient instructions. A whale shark after only 7 dives, can't say much more then that! Hope to return soon!

Hi guys, Just finished IDC (Instructor Development Course) with Lisa. Hard course, but very glad I did it here. I was trained perfectly and thats exactly what I needed. For the examination it was the best support I could think about. A lot of moral support :-) and a lot of talking. Very special thanks to you Lisa for that! thanks for all of you guys for support and smiling all the time!!!
