Phi Phi Island is one of the Top Dive Spots in the world, and the PinkWhale Club proudly recommends the Barakuda Dive Shop – the only SDI dive center on Phi Phi Island.
The Barakuda isn’t just another dive shop! (you can check their Google profile) — They’re the oldest on the island with the most experienced instructors, many of them have been teaching on Phi Phi for decades. Also, the only ones certified through SDI, offering you modern, skills-focused training that’s trusted worldwide.
While most centers here teach PADI or SSI, Barakuda Dive Center is one of a kind. Besides diving, available water therapies, the Pinkwhale Club Aquaphobia therapy for those who are scared or having water issues, the bubble maker program for kids (min. age 8), disabled people diving, and of course the full SDI family: recreational scuba SDI, plus advanced paths like TDI technical diving, ERDI emergency rescue, and PFI performance freediving. Our Course Director, Keegan, ensures the highest standards during all courses! You are safer, can go deeper, use multiple gas mixes, become more confident in training than anywhere else on Phi Phi while going home alive and happy! … not to mention all the variety of courses provided. (If you don’t want to raise your standards, PADI courses are also available here.)
We’ve got daily trips, try dives, beginner packages, and full technical diving and freediving certifications waiting. Message us directly on social media — or WhatsApp.
If You believe that diving is not for you coz you are scared, just keep going!
Scared Of Water???
No worries, we have a solution! Aquaphobia Therapy and swimming classes to help you get rid of your fear, and to change your life forever!
We LOOOOVE the Ocean and when someone comes and says: “I’m scared of the water/sea…!” I always felt so sad, so we decided to create a solution to help these people recover from the loss they have suffered for not being able to experience the gifts of the underwater world!
The Pinkwhale Club Aquaphobia Therapy!
This program is designed to help people with water issues. Personalized therapy sessions in a controlled environment with hands-on assistance!
Kids Programs!
Scuba Diving is a great way to share, experience, and learn. We are lucky enough to proudly introduce our scuba diving programs designed especially for kids older than 8 years.
The Bubble maker program is recommended for the little ones between 8-10 years of age. During this activity the kids’ maximum depth is no more than 2-3 meters in a controlled environment. They learn some basic skills and after some practise and familiarization they start their dives.
10-14-year-olds can go a bit deeper, and even possible to get Junior Open Water or Junior Advanced Open Water diver certificates. These licences come with maximum depth restrictions due to their young age. These restrictions will automatically get upgraded as they grow up and reach 14 years when they will be able to dive the full depth of their certifications! (In some cases its necessary to do some studies or extra dives to receive the upgrades.)
