Banyan Tree Divers came recommended by a concierge where we were staying. They accommodated me last minute the day before and went for a couple shore dives with Chris and another couple. Very laid back, friendly, and accommodating. Second dive off Mala pier was amazing. Chris is a great dive master and underwater photographer and took some stunning photos, a great plus. Had a really nice time and probably the best in shore diving Iā€™ve experienced thus far! Thanks Chris and Banyan tree divers.

My boyfriend and I did a beginnerā€™s shore dive with Chris and had a wonderful time! Chris was a great instructor ā€” super prepared, knowledgeable and friendly. He also took photos throughout the dive for us which will provide some great memories. We saw some beautiful fish, eels and a giant turtle. Would definitely recommend!

Unbelievable. Great briefing by our expert instructor Anika. Expectations thoroughly explained. Safety always first. Once in the water everyone was made comfortable and skill demonstrations went smoothly. Then the fun began. I have snorkeled all over the world but being able to stay under was a grand new experience. Had to part with some of my snorkeling habits such as breath holding and arm movements but all and all an easy transition. Great employees, very safe for any experience level. One of the most fun things I've done in my life. I'm getting certified. Sincerely, Lee Erickson
