Considered as one of South Asia’s best
diving destinations, Phuket attracts millions of visitors each year. It doesn’t
matter if you are a beginner or a professional diver as there is always a dive
spot for every skill level. Some of the major dive areas in Phuket include the
west coast, Koh Raya, Tarutao group, Ko Phi-Phi, Koh Doc Mai, and the cluster
of King Cruiser Wreck, Anemone Reef, and Shark Pont.
Due to the popularity of diving in Phuket,
there are many diving schools in the area. Find a diving
school that is certified by PADI as a 5 Star dive center. It is important
that the diving school adheres to strict rules and regulations so you will be
safe during your trip. If you are a little nervous about diving directly into
the sea, don’t worry. Diving schools in Phuket offer courses where you take
classes and do practice dives in swimming pools. Elite PADI instructors can do
more than just teach you how to dive - they also include lessons on safety and
what to do if certain events arise while you are at sea. They also open your
eyes about the environmental issues of the area.
Phuket has a diverse marine ecosystem, and
it is kept that way because the establishments here follow the strict rules and
regulations imposed by the Thai government. PADI Diving schools usually join
environmental programs to protect sea life.
Once you find a diving school that can
offer the PADI course that you need and follows the highest requirements for
training, check if it offers packages. There are schools that can simply offer
daytrip dives and beginner’s courses while others can offer excellent dive
trips and even Liveaboards diving. Some can even provide luxury trips where you
can go as you please on a private yacht. All dive boats should have a qualified
and well trained crew.
