No shop, no workpermit, etc.
Plenty of good operators in phuket take the wife shopping when you first get there, and use the oppurtunity to nip off to the local dive stores.
Maybe a day trip to Phi phi including some dives, wife can take in scenery and have a dip in awesome location.
As for no shop no workpermit, company registered at different place maybe ? Bit of an assumption to make.

I thought SeaFa was an Ao Nang shop?
Sea Fa Diving
Peter Osborn
79/3 Moo 3 Nopparat Thara Beach
Ao Nang, Krabi 81000
Phone: +66.75637627
But the website says only Chalong-Patong, so it's possible that they've relocated here and haven't yet moved their licenses from Krabi province to Phuket province.
They may be great guys, but I'm with Steve on this one. Use a company that has all its paperwork in order and is 100% legal.

Ok Steven its not an assumption then, my apologies.
You and Quero are quite right, without the necessary permits/insurance etc if there is a problem you as a customer are left wide open.
Its quite sad that those that dont bother with legalites etc are often cutting corners elsewhere from my experience, they also have a unfair commercial advantage due to less overheads and accountability.
Its not that easy in Thailand but with patience and a good Thai translator its certainly not out of reach.We have had to set up in 5 other Asian countrys all fun getting legal India has been the most fun to date.

It looks like they are starting a cooperation with Sea Fa Diving at the moment, so maybe they will clean up their act in the future. Let's wait and see.
