Phuket is situated around 862 kilometers
south of Bangkok and it is one of the must-see destinations in Thailand,
especially if you love water sports and scuba diving. Its nickname, ‘Pearl of
the Andaman Sea,’ will make a lot of sense when you see how beautiful it is
with its limestone cliffs, vast and tranquil bays, white beaches with powdery
sand, and lush tropical forests. Phuket itself is the largest island of
Thailand, and its waters have plenty of diving sites that are waiting to be
explored by you.
Scuba diving is one of the top activities you
should not miss in Phuket. PADI-certified divers go there for a challenge or
for fun dives, and beginners and casual divers go there to learn or hone their
skill. The best time to go scuba diving in Phuket is during hot season, which
is from November to April. That way, you can experience the clearest skies,
crystal clear waters, and the freshest sea breeze, and enjoy a pleasant
temperature, which averages between 28 to 33 degrees Celsius.
Families, couples, groups of friends, and
individuals can arrange scuba diving adventures through a reputable provider of
diving trips, holidays, liveaboards, and certified diving
lessons in Phuket. Be sure to find provider that is recognized as the
leader in the local diving industry and recognized by PADI as a reputable
diving center with the best standards for teaching and guiding its students.
Phuket offers many different dive sites such
as Racha Noi, a tropical island known for its hard coral reefs, big granite boulders,
and excellent visibility that lets you enjoy a view of the underwater life with
plenty of fish and manta rays. The King Cruiser wreck is another attraction to
see when scuba diving in Phuket. The ferry sank in May 1997 near a reef, and
since then, it became inhabited by many species of fish, making it a
fascinating diving destination for average to expert divers.
