Day Trips

Phuket's amazing reef life and tropical conditions make for very good diving indeed. During the high season (December - May ) the ocean currents are slight to moderate which makes the ideal conditions to learn to dive. Throughout the low seaon (May - November) currents are usually a little stonger, making for some amazing drift dives along the reefs.

Our day trips include free collection and return from your hotel in the Patong, Karon and Kata areas. Collection from outside these areas can be arranged for a small surcharge. The minibus will transfer you to Chalong Pier, for around 8am, where you will meet with your Boat Master for the day who will give you a full briefing of the days diving conditions and activites, and introduce you to your dive guide.

 

All dive guides are qualified instructors and full insured. All carry a surface marker buoy to warn surface traffic that divers are about to end their dive, and a safety stop is mandatory at the end of every dive, regardless of depth and bottom time. One other great thing about diving around Phuket is that the dive boats will collect you from wherever you surface on the divesite, so there is no wasting precious time at the end of your dive swimming back to the boat.

 

Dive times are usually 50 - 60 minutes, or the dive is ended at 50 Bar of tank pressure.

 

The day boats are very spacious providing plenty of room on the dive deck to kit up. Refreshments are available throughout the day. Lunch is served during the last surface interval, which is roughly between one hour to an hour and a half. Then its back in the water for your last fantastic dive of the day.

Why not combine your daytrips with continuing your dive education and taking one of our PADI courses. The Advanced Open Water Course is very popular course here in Phuket as some of our amazing dive sites are at depths of 18 - 30m. Usually the first day is spent diving at Racha Yai, where you complete the mandatory Deep and Underwater Navigation dives. The following day is spent diving King Cruiser Wreck, Shark Point and Koh Doc Mai, where you complete the remaining 3 elected dives, one of them being a wreck dive.
