Phuket Diving Daytrips

Phuket is fortunate to be in the centre of one of the world's best diving areas. Prospects at the local beaches are limited, however short day trips can bring you to some spectacular sites. For those with a little time to spare, the first class dive vessels based here offer access to the Similan, Surin and Andaman Islands and much more.

Liveaboard Diving

In the judgment of the highly respected Rodale's Scuba Diving Magazine (December 2004): "...it's hard to beat the Andaman Sea for clear seas, spectacular reefs and animal encounters." The visibility tops out at over 40 metres (130 feet) during the November to April peak season, revealing a wonder world among the giant coral encrusted granite boulders, which are piled on top of each other from depths of 25 metres (90 feet) and more.

Dive Courses in Phuket

It's worth shopping around a bit before deciding on where to go for instruction, since both prices and the quality of training vary considerably around the island. Many Dive Shops will, if requested, mail descriptions of what they offer, including detailed prices of equipment rentals, sales, dive courses, excursions, and "extras". (For example, some advertise substantial discounts on new equipment for those doing certification courses.)

That's why it's important to do your research; and reading an article such as this means you are indeed doing your research. (Read more... )
