The finest dive-sites in Phuket

Whether you are planning your first diving excursion or getting ready to endeavor on your next planned diving trip, Phuket undisputedly offers some of the best diving sites in the world. Its numerous islands are among the finest you can wish for and run all along the coastline. The choices are vast, only limited by your level of expertise and desires as to what you wish to see and experience throughout your dive.
Take Koh Pu for instance, a very local dive-site to visit if you are staying near Kata or Karon Beach. Especially for beginners, Koh Pu is an island not to miss out on your list as it is well-known for its swim-through cave and coral garden.

Swim Through Cave –  Koh Pu

Most of the scuba diving destinations are on the Andaman Sea on the South East coast of Thailand. The most famous ones are, among others, the outstanding Similan Islands, with truly excellent diving. A bit further North, there are the Surin Islands; less known than the Similans, but also quite excellent, with good chances to spot a Whale Shark! These two destinations are better explored by Liveaboard, however, it is also quite possible to dive there on a day tour. Closer to the mainland you have very good diving opportunities around the Koh Lanta, Koh Phi Phi and, of course, Phuket Island. These destinations offer good chances to dive with a Manta Ray or even a Whale Shark. In the last decade, Phuket has become the foremost place to learn Scuba diving and for divers to pass their PADI Open watercourse. To see more about PADI Courses, click here.

On the East Coast, in the Gulf of Thailand, the best diving location is undoubtedly Ko Tao. Many experienced divers also come here to become true professionals attracted by easy dive sites perfect for lessons and cheaper prices.
