ABOUT PHUKET

The Colours of the Andaman Sea, Thai Culture and Unforgettable Diving Experiences Together

Some destinations are chosen purely for diving. Others are just for sightseeing. Phuket is one of the rare places where these two worlds meet perfectly. After diving on the Andaman Sea's colourful coral reefs during the day, in the evening you can wander Thailand's lively streets, explore local markets and try the unique flavours of one of the world's most beloved cuisines. This makes Phuket not just a diving destination, but a genuine travel experience full of different memories every day.

The Andaman Sea is considered one of the world's richest seas in terms of biodiversity. Distinctive dive sites reachable by dive boats departing from Phuket, such as the Phi Phi Islands, Shark Point, the King Cruiser Wreck, Koh Dok Mai, Racha Yai and Racha Noi, offer a completely different opportunity for discovery on every dive, with tropical coral reefs, historic wrecks and rich marine life. One day you might be swimming through the corridors of a historic wreck, and the next diving on a reef covered in purple corals or among shoals of tropical fish around granite boulders.

Underwater, sea turtles, shoals of barracuda, moray eels, colourful reef fish and hundreds of different macro creatures await you; in the right season and under the right conditions, there is also a chance of encountering leopard sharks or manta rays. But the best thing about Phuket is that every dive tells a different story. Even if you dive the same site a second time, the sea always has a new surprise in store for you.

Outside diving hours, Phuket offers the chance to get to know Thai culture up close. Colourful night markets, the streets of historic Old Phuket Town, Buddhist temples, tropical beaches and world-famous Thai cuisine turn this trip into far more than just a diving holiday. Sipping a drink on the beach at sunset or enjoying fresh seafood at a local restaurant, you will understand better why millions of people visit Phuket again and again.

When preparing our Phuket programme, at SCUBA-BAY we create a balanced travel plan that lets you experience not only the best dive sites, but also the destination's culture, nature and way of life. Because we believe that a memorable tour is remembered not just by how many dives you did, but by the stories you tell when you get home.
