THAILAND - Diving Phuket and Khao Lak

Thailand Liveaboards »

PHUKET and KAO LAK LAND BASED

Phuket is Thailand's largest island which is located 900 km south of Bangkok in the Andaman Sea. The majority of Phuket's tourism can be found along the island's west coast beaches of Patong, Karon and Kata, where you'll find bustling bars, restaurants, custom tailors and lots of very affordable shopping.

The Diving

Phuket - Perl of the Andaman SeaYour enjoyment and safety under water are our number one priority. There is a max ratio of four divers to one guide if you feel like joining one of our guided groups. Of course, you and your buddy can also discover our beautiful dive sites on your own after a thorough briefing.

Phuket's dive sites average between 18 - 30m, and offer easy to medium diving levels. Drop-offs, small caves and wrecks are present as well as bizarre rock formations and coral gardens. The maritime life of the Andaman Sea is very versatile, and offers amongst many tropical fish also rare species such as sea horses and ghost pipe fish. Leopard sharks are frequent companions during our dives, and from time to time a manta can be seen in flight.
