Both beginners and experienced
divers enjoy the
aquarium style underwater scenery while
diving at the local Phuket & Phi Phi world class
dive sites. The 85 meter long "King Cruiser Ferry"
wreck close to "Anemone Reef'" and the exciting
"Shark Point" that is named after the harmless
Leopard Sharks who bask on the sandy bottom are just
a few of the
exciting locations visited by the boats departing
daily from Chalong Bay. Wall diving, drift diving,
deep diving, night and some fantastic opportunities
for normal and macro underwater photography are
available in the area.
Daytrip scuba diving from Phuket, the Phi Phi and
the Racha Islands dive sites operate throughout the
year offering a choice of 2, 3 or 4 dives per day
for a single day's diving and many overnight trips
are available. The size of the average Phuket dive
boat is about 22 meters in length and they are
designed to carry divers safely and comfortably to
the local dive sites
with full meals served on board depending on the
number of dives offered during the day.
Departures are generally early
in the mornings however now there are options
available that allow for guests to sleep in and
enjoy the
hotel buffet breakfasts and do their diving from
small high speed boats with fewer divers in the
groups then the larger boats.
