Phuket Diving Highlights
-
 Underwater
visibility often exceeds 30 metres, and can extend to 45 metres.
-
The water is sufficiently warm to make wetsuits unnecessary.
-
There are hundreds of varieties of hard corals and hundreds
of species of reef fish, not to mention tens of thousands of
species of other reef creatures.
-
This is one of the best places in the world to seek opportunities
of swimming with whale sharks and manta rays.
-
There are dozens of scenic island destinations within range
of daytrips and liveaboard cruises from Phuket.
-
Weather permitting, daytrips and shorter liveaboards are possible
all year 'round.
-
During the late-October to mid-May peak season, comfortable
liveaboards with great food and expert supervision roam from
four days up to two weeks as far as the Similan
Islands, (which enjoy the reputation of being among
the world's top 10 diving destinations), the Burma Banks and
the Andaman Islands in India.
-
A number of first-rate Dive Shops offer affordable scuba accreditation
all the way from absolute beginner up to master instructor.
What better souvenir to take home than a PADI Open Water ticket
as a scuba diver, or, if you're already qualified, accreditation
from a specialty course such as Natural History?
