Diving Phuket, Similan
Phuket surrounded by the Andaman Sea and lovely islets offers lots of fantastic dive spots and snorkel areas like Racha Islands, Shark Point, King Cruiser, Anemone Reef and Phi Phi Island. You will fall in love with the natural beauty and scenery of Phuket.
The crystal clear warm waters of the Andaman Sea are teeming with sea life. You will see colorful coral reefs and plenty of tropical fish, leopard sharks, rays, eels and turtles or the rarely spotted whale shark and manta rays.
The water visibility is usually excellent, often exceeding 20-30 meters.
The best time to dive is from November to May with water temperature of 30 C.
One Day or overnight trips to the National Park of Similan and Surin Islands are possible only at this time. During the monsoon summer season from June to October visibility is reduced and some dive sites, such as the Similans, will be out of reach because of rough sea and strong winds.
Phuket is ideal for dive beginners to start with an Introduction course (DSD) or to start a diving course such as the PADI Open Water to get a dive certification. For casual divers there are plenty of day trips to great dive sites around Phuket. For the serious diver there are enough dives sites to fill an entire holiday.
