Phuket Thailand Dive Information

Situated 8 degrees north of the Equator, Phuket's warm tropical climate is tempered by cool easterly breezes from November to April, and by fresh westerly monsoon winds in summer months. Phuket Weather is good for scuba diving and liveaboards almost the whole year, but is better from November to May, with plenty of sunshine. Divers can expect a few wet and windy days during May - October, but it's normally quite sunny. The low summer holiday season can actually be a great time to go diving in Phuket, since you find less divers under water, and much lower hotel prices.

Phuket is the largest island in Thailand and well known as a tourism and diving destination. Just a short hop by jet from Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur or Singapore, and with daily connections to most major Asian cities, Phuket is ideally situated for a short Thailand diving vacation or a relaxing holiday. Time is GMT +7 hours, 1 hour behind Hong Kong, Singapore and Malaysia.

The Andaman Sea, separated from the Bay of Bengal by the Andaman-Nicobar Ridge, is part of the Indian Ocean. Thailand's Andaman coast extends for 870 km from the Surin Islands on Thailand's border with Burma to Tarutao National Park (setting of bordering Malaysia. Hundreds of islands are reached by boat from Phuket, many of them uninhabited and fringed with spectacular coral reefs. To see the real Thailand, get off the beaten track. You often won't find even a footprint on the beach.

Phuket is the center of all this beauty. From here we can arrange for you Diving Courses, an amazing Thailand Liveaboard Dive Safari or a variety of adventure tours. The Similan Islands national marine park, to the Northwest of Phuket, is one of the best scuba diving destinations in the world. Thailand Liveaboards, Phuket Day Trips and Overnight Tours are all available. Diving liveaboards into the remote Mergui Archipelago in Myanmar (Burma) are also becoming available again.
