Diving

Diving in Phuket is a wonderful opportunity to diversify your vacation or acquire an exciting new hobby. The underwater world of the Andaman Sea is stunning and diverse: you can enjoy the beauty of coral reefs, encounter fascinating marine creatures, and admire picturesque underwater landscapes. Sometimes, intriguing art installations are placed on the seabed, providing spectacular photo opportunities. The island offers many fascinating diving locations, but the main ones are:

• Racha Yai, Racha Noi, the Phi Phi and the Similan islands;
• King Cruiser – the sunken Japanese ship, and Anemone Reef, where it sank;
• Shark Point – a group of four underwater pinnacles;
• Cheow Lan lake.

All diving excursions generally follow a similar program:

1. Transfer. Most often, tourists need a transfer from the hotel to the pier in Chalong.
2. Meeting with the guide. The guide meets you, accompanies you throughout the trip, and conducts a briefing.
3. Snack. Breakfast and drinks are usually provided on the way to the dive site.
4. First dive. Typically, this dive lasts no more than 30 minutes.
5. Lunch. Lunch usually takes place on the boat or on a nearby beach. After lunch, everyone heads to the second dive spot.
6. Second dive. This dive is also conducted under the instructor’s supervision.
7. Return. You are taken back to the pier and then transferred to your hotel.

This is the typical schedule for a one-day excursion. Longer diving tours have more varied programs and differ from each other.
