Phuket’s
dive sites average between 18 - 30 metres, 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 marine life of the Andaman Sea is very varied,
and amongst many other tropcial fish you can also find rare species such as
sea horses and ghost pipefish. Leopard sharks are frequent companions
during our dives, and from time to time a manta can be seen in flight.
The Similan Islands are a stunning group of nine islands north-west
of Phuket. They are famous for being one of the top dive destinations
in the world and certainly the best in Asia. The diving is simply
amazing. The dive sites in the Similan and Surin Islands are in
general slightly deeper than in Phuket, and the fantastic visibility of usually
not less than 30m is captivating. These dive spots are suitable
for all diving levels and offer a large diversity of marine life.
Coral fish, barracuda, sharks, and during February and May even mantas and whalesharks, make a diver's heart beat faster. |
