Our Dives

Scuba diving is a magical sport though it can be extremely hard to explain to non divers why we and our customers love it so much. So we thought, “Hey, how can we show people”, divers or not, the majesty of the underwater world here in Phuket. So we created the ‘Our Dives’ community section, where our instructors post stories, photos & videos from their dives with our customers, fore-ever immortalizing their day as a true Aussie Diver and showcasing the wonderful underwater world we have here to enjoy in Thailand!

Koh Haa Scuba Diving Day Trip Phuket Speedboat Our Dives

Aussie Divers Luxury – Koh Haa Dive Trip – 4th May 2018

On the 4th May 2018 the Aussie Divers Phuket luxury speedboat made an unscheduled trip to a group of 5 close knit islands names Koh Haa (Islands five). The trip was a bit of an experiment in the validity of running a trip there once a week next high season. The islands are approximately 60 km south east of Chalong Bay, Phuket. The boat ride took around 90 minutes in relatively calm seas. The weather was fine and there were is expectations of a really good days diving. We arrive shortly around 10:30am and were presented with a stunning cluster of five islands. The first dive was on Koh Haa Yai (Island 5). We were immediately face with some excellent visibility.

Is Scuba Diving Deep Better?

I am often a little miffed when I receive emails asking about depths of dives and the thought of seeing more when deeper. It is one of scuba diving’s greatest myths that when going deeper you will see more creatures. Coral reefs require clear water and sunlight to flourish and most of the best coral is found closer to the surface. The healthier the coral reef is the more marine life will be present. Many fish graze off corals and the coral becomes their major food source. More coral should equal more fish. The closer you are to the surface the more light there is making it easier to see things. The easier it is to see thing the more you will find. [...]

Understanding WindGuru – Phuket Scuba Diving

The website windguru.com is the guide and go to website for not only all scuba diving and boating agencies in Phuket but the world wide. Given that all of the scuba diving in Phuket is involved a lot of boat travel (anywhere from 1.5 hours for Racha Yai and three hours for Phi Phi) most scuba diving rely on it heavily for information for the safety and enjoyment of their customers. Often divers particularly those doing beginner course such as the PADI Discover Scuba Diving or PADI Open Water Course have never been on a boat for extended periods. Given that it is their first experience at scuba diving we try to make it as enjoyable as we can. Often [...]

Low Season Scuba Diving Aussie Divers Phuket Our Dives

Phuket Scuba Diving – Wet Monsoon Months – Low Season

The months of May/June see the start of the wet season (monsoon) season for Phuket and the west coast of Thailand. This change in weather delivers more wind and rain and in turn increases wave height. We do continue to scuba dive during this period and although the weather does not effect diving under the water so much it does have an effect the boat travel to the dive sites. If you are not aware, all scuba diving in Phuket is done via large purposely built scuba diving boats and involves lengthy travel to the popular dive sites. The favorite of the day trip dive areas is Phi Phi which is about 3 hours boat ride away. Both King Cruiser [...]

2014 – 2015 Thailand Liveaboard Season

Another great season in the Similan and Surin Islands has sadly come to a close. But what season it has been! We now have our eyes firmly focused on the upcoming 2015 – 2016 season. Whale sharks and manta rays have been prolific for the last two years and the majority of diving guests have enjoyed encounters with these magnificent animals. Richelieu Rock and Koh Tachai Pinnacle have again been the stand out dive sites. Even without the big animals these dive sites are fantastic with schooling barracuda, napoleon wrasse and the ever present trevallies terrorizing the huge schools of fusiliers that are ever present on these fauna rich dive sites, chuck in a whale shark or manta and you [...]
