Thailand Travel Guide

Its very important to choose the right dive shop that cares about safety when planning your diving trip. When your visiting Phuket you will see that there are so many dive shops to choose from, there are over 100 - 200 shops spread all over Phuket island and its not easy to make a choice.

It does not matter if you choose the dive company in Thailand or somewhere else but you should always check out their safety and ask how long the dive shop has been in operation this will give a good picture about the reputation of the shop.

You can ask for example how many divers and instructors will be on the boat the less divers and more instructors the better will be the trip. Another very important thing is that you should feel comfortable with the staff and not forget to check the equipment before paying any money.

In my opinion is word-of-mouth the best indicator of the quality of any dive shop and can give you a lot of business.

Scuba Diving is the most popular water sport in Thailand and is an experience you never will forget. This magical paradise will allow you to breathe underwater and opens a whole new universe up to you.

In Thailand you can explore wonderful coloured reefs around the coastal areas and be dazzled by fish of a thousand hues. You can expect encounters with giant barracuda, manta rays, turtles and even Whale sharks. This country is the central focus for scuba diving in Southeast Asia.

The Kingdom of Thailand often know as the “land of smiles” with over 2600 kilometres of coastline and crytal clear water has hundreds of idyllic islands that are good for diving. The seas around Thailand are unusally calm, clear and at a temperature of around 28 degrees makes this a perfect habitat to over 2000 species and corals that are found here. The Andaman sea is the clearest between November and February these are the best months for diving.
