Rumblefish Adventure in Kata Beach and Scuba Nick's in Rawai are two I can recommend.

IMO it would have been good if @JonnieB had reminded us of that fact. Just to keep things transparent.

Curious what "fact" you are referring to as I've had @Centrals blocked for good reason so don't know to what you're referring

 

[Capt Jim Wyatt]

Curious what "fact" you are referring to

The fact that you work, or worked for the company. Of course I had no way of knowing you ignore @Centrals .

You had forgotten that you had claimed to be working at that dive operator!!!
You had been saying that you prefer diving from a small local operator!!! BS. Rumblefish is a PADI 5* foreign owned operation.

That is false. I have no commercial relationship with either Rumblefish or Scuba Nicks. I've dived with both and did my Divemaster course with Rumblefish and shore dive with them regularly.

Please accept my apology for assuming @Centrals statement as a fact.

Complaint about recent diving experience.

I had one boat pulling the ladder completely out due to chop. Had to time it, when to grab the ladder. When the boat dips. Then let the wave pull me into the air on the ladder, and go up a rung when the boat dips again. All good fun but one guy mistimes it, gets his skull crushed by the...

Looks like Krabi is closed for snorkeling and diving due to coral bleaching

Those A bleached coral is not a dead coral. But, it's seriously stressed and is not feeding properly. Divers and snorkelers touching the coral, sunscreen leaching into the water, exhaled gas increasing co2 (acidity), oil leaking from boats bilge water and gasoline from outboards all cause...

Seven boats sink in Gulf and Andaman Sea in four days, eight people still missing - Thai PBS World

Six tour boats and a fishing vessel have sunk in the Gulf and the Andaman Sea in the past four days. Two passengers, a skipper and five crew are still missing.

SIX tour boats and one local fishing boat.

That boat(Bundhaya 19) was supposed to be the "newest and the best"!!! But did not survive on one rough trip.

You have to make your own decision and do not expect the operator to cancel the trip because of rough sea or whatnot.

I have a life long standing rule. If anyone ask is me "What do you think regarding conditions?" or "do you think it is safe?" My reply is always, nope not going. The fact that someone asked someone else if they thought it was safe to go out, means that in their mind it was not safe. Trust your gut. AKA You do You it's your life.
