In addition, there are superb restaurants serving mouth-watering dishes, which are prepared with freshly caught seafood, a highly pleasurable and laid-back nightlife, good shopping options and the availability of making various fun-filled daytrips suitable for the whole family. Phuket offers all the correct ingredients for having an unforgettable diving experience as well as for enjoying other types of holidays.

 

Phuket features some unique rock formations, which are enchantingly positioned underwater along with awesome reefs and a varied and rich marine life. Beginning as well as advanced divers will find it hard to leave this splendid destination at the end of their holiday. The scuba diver will find sufficient dive schools, dive points, live-aboard diving adventures and an extensive selection of offered daytrips.

 

Some of the most gorgeous scuba diving destinations tourist can reach by daytrips from Phuket include: the Similan Islands, Khao Lak, the famous Phi Phi Islands group, Richelieu Rock, Hin Muang and Hin Daeng.

 

Especially the waters around the Phi Phi Islands offer world-class dive sites, which feature crystal clear and warm waters along with breathtakingly beautiful rock formations and the perfect, ecologically healthy natural living environment for housing an abundance of flourishing marine life.

 

Divers here can observe numerous types of magnificent, untouched soft and hard corals, while within just a few minutes, large numbers of brightly coloured fish along with other wonderful creatures, will curiously surround them. At certain spots the underwater landscape is truly mind-boggling and resembles spacious lush terrains of blooming underwater wildflowers.

 

Visitors who are more into spotting the ocean’s bigger inhabitants have the option to see Manta Ray and Whale Sharks. There are many more idyllic, tiny islands located in the surrounding area, which from Phuket, are all accessible by live-aboard vessel tours as well as by day boat trips. Due to the permanent ideal water temperatures, it is year-round possible to dive directly off Phuket’s coast.

Additionally, the advanced diver has the opportunity to obtain the prestigious master instructor diving certificate.

    Luxury villa living, thriving scuba diving….

    I am not a diver myself, however, about two years back, just out of being curious, I spent a weekend at Amed. Amed and Tulamben on the East coast of Bali, with their crystal clear waters and the Liberty ship-wreck, have been famous as divers’ paradise…
