HIghly Recommend- a fabulous trip - High recommend. Igor organised a brilliant trip for us to Phi Phi Islands. Divers and snorkeller. The trip was well organised and they sorted out the pick up from the hotel. The dive shop was good with high quality equipment. We did two great dives with Bob who was a good instructor. We also visited maya beach and had some snorkelling stops. Great lunch on the boat too

Absolute top class, diving and enjoying on Ko Yao yai - Absolutely top class – diving and enjoying on Koh Yao Yai!
“We had a fantastic time with the Elixir Divers! The whole organization was highly professional, the team super relaxed and the dive spots around the island are just breathtaking. You feel safe and well looked after at all times.
A special thank you goes to the boss, Igor. He not only runs the base with passion, but knows the island like his pocket. He tipped us to go to the Yao Yai Café and Restaurant for dinner – and what can I say? It was a direct hit! Great food, great atmosphere and exactly what we were looking for after a day on the boat.
If you are on Koh Yao Yai, you should definitely dive in with Igor and his team. Clear 5 stars for the Elixir Divers!”

Excellent Dive Operator on Ko Yao Yai - I’m embarrassed to write that it’s taken me a few months to get around to leaving this review. . . (Sorry Igor).
We joined Elixir as a family of five, plus my son’s girlfriend for a few days of diving in December of 2025. My Son’s girlfriend needed to get certified and Elixir took good care of her during her course. The rest of us are certified and joined her for her open water dives.
Igor and his crew provide an excellent service - Lunch, cold drinks, and fresh cut fruit is provided on the boat. The dive boat is one of the best designs / layouts I’ve seen in this part of the world. Easy ingress / egress and plenty of shade for those that want it (like me). Loads of gear storage locations and even though it was a full boat each day, it never felt over-crowded.
The equipment is in excellent condition and is well maintained. Equipment condition is often a complaint of mine, but it was not an issue at Elixir at all.
Igor’s communication is second-to-none and he always responded right away to all of my messages while I tried to organize our big group to join with the dives.
I’m a PADI instructor since 1990, and have owned and operated dive shops all over the world. I can honestly say that Elixir is one of the best operations that I’ve come across in my 35 years of doing this dive stuff. Thanks again Igor and team. See you next time!

First time divers - We came her looking for a first open water diving experience. We had a great time with our instructor Robert who took the time to explain the details needed to learn the bases of diving. We started in the pool and did two dives in open water. I was great and we would definitely recommend you try on your trip here. We felt safe at all times !

Well run Duve Operattion - I met the owner of Igor and he could not have been more accommodating. He’s been living on the island for seven years and runs the first class operation. We were on a beach nearby and walked over and met us. The equipment is new their new boat fast and comfortable.
What made my dives great was the proximity to the island of the ditve sites. Usually you have to get up early and get back late but in this case I was picked up at 10 o’clock and was in the water diving by 11:30 3 o’clock.
Igor arrangedthe pick up from the hotel, directly to the pier and then there was only a 25 minute boat ride to the first dive site. The second site was only 20 minutes away once we were we were back at the dock 20 minutes later.
if you’re staying on the island and want to dive or just take a tour to some of the nearby islands I highly recommend Elexir.
they take out small groups and are dievmaster. BOB was excellent. Diving near Phuket is such a pleasure because the water is 86° even at 60 feet. A dive sites near Ko Yah Yoi are more sheltered from the wind and waves so life is very smooth and there was no to no currents in the water.

Super diving experience - We spent a few days on Koh Yao Yai and decided to dive with Igor. Everyone on the boat was very competent and we felt very safe.
Everything was great from the beginning!
When we get back to Koh Yao Yai, we will definitely dive again with Elixir Divers.
Time when we were there was February 2024.

Fabulous dive experience - Excellent company to deal with, all the equipment provided was of very good quality, very friendly and easy to to deal with, nice boat, water/fruit provided.
2 lovely dive sites, 3 divers to 1 dive guide ratio, would highly recommend diving with Elixer anytime your in Koa Yai Yoh. The sea was a lovely temperature.

Great choice for self-dive in Ko Yao Yai. - Excellent dive operation in Ko Yao Yai. Elixir is an organized but at the same time stress-free operator. Small dive groups, with experienced Dive Masters who know well the dive points of the bay. In 25 minutes of fast boat ride we reached the dive points Shark Point and Anemone Reef. Everything went well and on time, the dives were very good and the points we visited have plenty of marine life. I recommend!

Diving with Elixir - Fantastic service and attention to detail is to the credit of Igor and his Team.
Excellent equipment, thorough briefings and great ratio of Instructor to Diver ration, we were 6 with 2 instructors.
This is topped by seamless organisation, from collection from our hotel to the dive centre and then boat.
There is no better outfit, so don't waste your time looking at other options.
Thanks for making our trip so special.
