A life shaped by the ocean.

From England to Phuket.

Burgon Underwater grew from a fascination with marine life and breath-hold diving, a Zoology background in England, and a passion for exploring Phuket’s ocean.

Burgon Underwater’s instructor experience includes over 4,000 scuba dives, introducing more than 500 first-time divers to scuba, and certifying over 400 Open Water Divers. Freediving experience includes a breath-hold of over six minutes and dives beyond 40 metres.

Personal teaching. Strong foundations.

At Burgon Underwater, great instruction begins with listening. Small groups, thorough briefings, and personal attention help you build skills at your own pace. Responsible diving and respect for marine life are central to every experience.

Giving back to Phuket.

Burgon Underwater’s connection to Phuket goes beyond diving, with a history of organising beach clean-ups, collecting over 200 kg of plastic from local shores, and an 86 km walk from Sarasin Bridge to Promthep Cape that raised over 300,000 THB for local charities.

Burgon Underwater is always happy to share recommendations for places to stay, local food, and things to do while you’re here.
