Diving In Phuket
The dive sites of Phuket offer a great many varieties of marine life from small invertebrates to much bigger encounters and while the southern dive sites present grandiose dives over hard coral and spectacular boulders, the eastern dive sites offer breath taking views of high cliffs emerging from the bottom of the ocean and covered in vibrant hews of soft corals. The inviting emerald warm waters of Phuket will greatly enhanced a diver’s wonderful memories of scuba diving in the Andaman Sea. The dives are accessible in three ways. By daily regular dive trips that reach destination between 1:30 and 3:00 hours, by privately chartered speed boats and by local boats that can access neighbouring dive sites along the coast line of Phuket in minutes.
Shark Point: Phuket’s most popular dive site. The reef is covered with soft coral and sponges and is constantly buzzing with fish of every shape, size and colours. Squadrons of jackfish and tuna patrol the reef, rays and barracudas cruise by.
Anemone Reef: A single large submerged rock. True to its name it is covered in a living carpet of sea anemones. Add to this the scenery of a constant parade of reef fish and you have a very colorful dive site indeed.
Racha Noi: With 9 different dive sites this island offers quite a variety. Hard corals, large bolder, soft corals reef-slopes and drop-offs; every dive site has its own attraction. Leopard sharks are very common and with a little luck divers might encounter a majestic manta ray.
From November to May Phi Phi Island: Colossal monoliths rising straight from the sea. Includes wall dives, cave as well as shallow coral garden all densely populated with corals and reef fish. An impressive under water landscape as well as above the water.
The dive boats used for daily regular trips offer a sundeck as well as a more shaded area. There are also showers and a toilet on board. A large diving platform to enter and exit the water supervised with a CCTV camera for your extra safety and convenience for the captain. The main cabin has cabby holes to put away personal belongings. The service on board includes: complementary tea, coffee and water available all day as well as a light breakfast in the morning, a Thai buffet for lunch and an extremely helpful and friendly crew with Thai smiles.
The speed boats are designed for divers’ comfort and safety. They offer the opportunity to access dive sites quickly and leave enough time to explore Phuket’s natural wonders.
The typical local boats are called “longtail” boats because of the engine’s design and provide an easy access to dive sites that are close to the dive centres.
Speed boat and longtail boat trips are seasonal and can be arranged between November and April.
