I always wanted to try diving and this was the perfect place to start. I did my Open Water Diver course with Aleks at YU Dive Khao Lak and had a fantastic time. He is a very professional and patient instructor who makes learning to dive easy and enjoyable. The dives around Khao Lak were beautiful and I always felt safe and well looked after. Highly recommend YU Dive if you are looking for a dive shop in Khao Lak.

I had an absolutely great experience with Alex. He was extremely attentive, careful, and very patient throughout the entire learning process. As a beginner, it was very important for me to feel safe and relaxed, and with him I truly felt calm and in good hands. He explained the basics of diving clearly and thoroughly, without rushing. His experience and professionalism were evident at every moment. I highly recommend him to anyone who wants to learn to dive in a safe and comfortable environment. I will definitely come back for more dives!

“My dive at Richelieu Rock was simply spectacular! A huge thank you to my dive buddy Dajana: she was incredibly attentive and caring. Especially at a challenging spot like this, there’s nothing better than feeling so well looked after. I can’t praise her highly enough! My only regret is that I was only there for a few days – otherwise, I definitely would have dived with her more often.” Best regards, Peter

I’ve been diving with Aleks for over 20 years, and the dives at the Similan and Surin Islands, Richelieu Rock, and Koh Bon were by far the most enjoyable and memorable. The underwater landscapes are stunning, with some of the richest marine life in the world. I would highly recommend this experience to everyone. Thanks, Aleks – see you again very soon!

Our trip to the Similan Islands with YU Dive Thailand was wonderful. Everything was exactly as agreed, and the entire day was very well organized. The organizer was attentive and helpful, making sure we had everything we needed throughout the excursion.
We particularly want to highlight the amazing snorkeling experience. It was a joy to see so many different types of colorful fish while observing the vibrant corals. We were even lucky enough to spot some large sea turtles!
The beaches and the sea are truly beautiful – like a paradise. We enjoyed the phenomenal natural scenery, and the overall nature within this national park is stunning. It was a memorable day and we highly recommend their services to anyone visiting the area.

My wife Rymma completed her PADI Open Water certification with Aleks, and he was incredibly patient, caring, and thorough throughout the entire course. He was always punctual — often arriving early to the session — and well-prepared for every session.

During her first dive she experienced some panic attacks, but Aleks calmly reassured her, gave her time to relax, and returned to the water with her an hour later — and she succeeded. His teaching style is supportive, confidence-building, and truly top-notch.

After the course, we also completed two-tank dives with him in the Similan Islands, and the experience was fantastic from start to finish.

Thank you for teaching Rymma, Aleks — you did a fantastic job! We hope to dive with you again soon.

If you are looking for a shop that put customers’ experience & quality come first, Yu Dive with Aleks would be the one you shouldn’t miss.

This is not the first we were diving with Aleks. Every time we get under the water with Aleks the feeling is the same that you will know you are in good hands. He is caring, considerate, patient, familiar with diving area. He took care of everyone not only in the water, but start from the pier, on the boat and after dive. You will feel safe, comfortable and built-up confident to dive with him.

And, this time we were doing the AOW course with him. We enjoy the time spend with him and bring us such a great memories. Thanks for showing us a glimpse of the best of under sea in the area.

It just can’t enough for saying. Simply go & dive with him. A great caring and encouraging Serbian Dive Instructor & Dive Guide.

Hvala puno.

An absolutely phenomenal experience-a sense of safety, enjoyment and a brand-new adventure!
We felt all of that while diving with Yu Dive Khao Lak and Aleksandar, our instructor.

Thank you, Sale, for your patience, experience and knowledge, which made it possible for me to relax completely and enjoy my own “underwater feature film.” I’m grateful to you for helping me push the boundaries of what I thought was possible once again!

See you next year!

A fantastic organization with an excellent, responsible instructor. I truly recommend this experience to both beginners and experienced divers. The dives are stunning, and you’ll witness an incredibly vibrant and colorful underwater world! Richelieu Rock is an absolute must — the highlight of all our dives.
We stayed on a liveaboard and were extremely satisfied: the equipment is new, the crew is always ready to help, and the accommodation and food are exceptional.
We also ventured into the jungle, slept in complete wilderness, and enjoyed all the beauty of untouched nature.
I wholeheartedly recommend YU Dive, especially to people from the former Yugoslavia, because sharing the language — and the mentality — makes the whole experience even better.

My diving experience with Saša was positive and inspiring. He helped me overcome all the fears and uncertainty that I had as a beginner.
The preparation for each dive was concise and relevant. During diving he was very attentive, and he monitored us very closely, therefore I felt very safe at each moment. I would definitely recommend Saša as an experienced dive master. I plan to come to Saša’s diving school again and continue this amazing underwater journey.
I had an amazing experience learning to dive with Saša at Yu Dive School. His patience and clear, calm instruction style made every lesson enjoyable and confidence-building.
He pays incredible attention to detail and always makes safety the top priority, which helped me feel completely comfortable throughout the entire course.
If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely supportive diving instructor, I can’t recommend Saša enough. Truly outstanding!

I’ve been diving with Aleks in the Similan and Surin Islands, including Richelieu Rock for 3 years and his support while taking underwater photos is priceless. Diving with him and Yu Dive means being extra safe and super fun. It is always a great pleasure to come back to Khao Lak. I highly recommend it.
