About Lotus Diving

The Lotus Diving experience is one that has been described as amazing by many. The team, led by Niko, is known for making their guests feel comfortable and well taken care of throughout the day. The diving experience is highly recommended, with Niko being a favorite among the divers for his exceptional skills and friendly demeanor.

The half-day trip to Sail Rock is another highlight of the Lotus Diving experience. The trip is well organized, complete with food and drinks. The dive site at Sail Rock is described as extremely cool, albeit a bit crowded. The guides, like Nicolas, are known for their thorough briefings, equipment preparation, and helpful advice. The trip is not only enjoyable but also safe, making it a highly recommended activity.

The diving school itself is praised for its informative and helpful staff, who are open to all questions and ensure that divers feel safe and well-prepared. The equipment provided by the school is of good quality, although some have suggested that the English language skills of some instructors could be improved. Nonetheless, the knowledge shared about diving at Sail Rock is appreciated by many.

However, not all experiences have been positive. Some visitors have reported having to wait for their pickup, enduring a bumpy ride to the site, and finding the boat infested with cockroaches. The rough sea conditions and the boat's inability to handle them have also been a cause for concern. Some guests have reported feeling ignored and receiving no help or compensation when they fell seasick. The lack of proper equipment for certain services has also been a point of criticism.

Some have also expressed dissatisfaction with their PADI open water certification experience with Lotus. Issues such as lack of food, constant smoking, and slow-paced pool work have been raised. Some have also reported feeling rushed and dragged during their first dive. Despite these issues, some divers have found enjoyment in the beautiful underwater world of Thailand.

There have also been reports of miscommunication and poor customer service, with some guests claiming they were ripped off before they could even dive. Issues with pickup arrangements and refund of deposits have been raised, causing some to advise others to avoid Lotus Diving.

On the other hand, many have had positive experiences with Lotus Diving. The dives at Sailrock have been described as spectacular, with the boat being fast and comfortable, the food being great, and the staff being friendly and professional. The sense of community and friendship formed with the staff has been a highlight for many, leading them to describe Lotus Diving as the best dive center in Phangan. Despite the mixed experiences, many divers have expressed their intention to return for more diving adventures.
