Most day trip boats in Phuket leave from Chalong Pier which is to the south of the island and is about 25 minute minibus ride from Patong. Scuba diving in Phuket trips are usually conducted in one of two directions, Racha Yai and Racha Noi to the south and Koh Doc Mai (KDM), Shark Point (SP) , Anemone Reef (AR), King Cruiser (KC) and the Phi Phi Islands to the east.

With scuba diving in Phuket, the most common day boat is the traditional larger Thai-style dive boats which can accommodate anywhere between 20 and 60 scuba divers. They are often preferred given their comfort, and size, allowing room to move, relax and or sleep if you choose. All provide breakfast and most have freshly cooked lunch, fresh fruit and snacks. All provide tea, coffee, water and soft drinks and most have beer for the trip home. All Phuket dive boats have western-style toilets, and showers and some even have air-conditioned salons.

Phuket Scuba Diving – Wet Monsoon Months

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. Ultimately this determines what scuba diving we can do during that period of the low season. 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 bo [...]

What is the Underwater Visibility Like in Phuket?

A question that we often get asked here in Phuket is “What is the underwater visibility like when I am there?” Good visibility and bad visibility is a subjective thing and people when commenting should be giving an example of what level of visibility they are comparing it too or with. For example, a diver that regularly dives in lake or quarries and they compare to that, may think the visibility is good. Those that regularly di [...]

Do I Need to Know How To Swim to Scuba Dive?

This is a question that I often get asked, and really it is not as simple as YES or NO. If you want to become a certified scuba diver by doing the PADI Open Water Diver Course, the answer is yes. In the PADI Open Water Diver Course it is specified that you have to be able to swim 200 metres. This can be with any stroke. You also have to be able to tread water or float for at least 10 minutes. The reason for this is not for the fact that scuba diving requires you to swim. But rather it is for your and your groups safety. In the unlikely event that your BCD (Buoyancy Control Device) was to falter then there would be no device to kee [...]

Scuba Diving Phuket – Recovery After the Pandemic

The Phuket scuba diving industry took a pretty big hit during the COVID pandemic. Phuket was isolated from the outside world for almost 18 months. During the period there were times when there was no scuba diving in Phuket at all. Even our local beach dives at Kata Beach were banned for an amount of time. The Phuket scuba diving industry is heavily reliant on international visitors and some businesses are almost 99% dependent on international divers. It was a very tough time for scuba diving in Phuket. A lot of scuba diving instructors returned to their native countries and employment within the scuba diving was slashed. The pand [...]
