Phuket Diving Highlights
 Underwater
visibility often exceeds 30 metres, and can extend to 45 metres.- The water is sufficiently warm to make wetsuits unnecessary.
- There are hundreds of varieties of hard corals and hundreds
of species of reef fish, not to mention tens of thousands of species
of other reef creatures.
- This is one of the best places in the world to seek opportunities
of swimming with whale sharks and manta rays.
- There are dozens of scenic island destinations within range
of daytrips and liveaboard cruises from Phuket.
 Weather
permitting, daytrips and shorter liveaboards are possible all
year 'round.- During the late-October to mid-May peak season, comfortable
liveaboards with great food and expert supervision roam from four
days up to two weeks as far as the Similan
Islands, (which enjoy the reputation of being among the world's
top 10 diving destinations), the Burma Banks and the Andaman Islands
in India.
- A number of first-rate Dive Shops offer
affordable scuba accreditation all the way from absolute beginner
up to master instructor. What better souvenir to take home than
a PADI Open Water ticket as a scuba diver, or, if you're already
qualified, accreditation from a specialty course such as Natural
History?
