Forget The Morning Blues! Wake Up To Ocean Colors with Phuket Scuba Diving


Joining a Liveaboard is one of the best ways to make the most of a diving holiday in Phuket. Liveaboards are perfect if you want to dive in areas that are far from the island, especially if they cannot be covered by a short dive day trip. In this type of holiday, you get to stay comfortably in a high-quality boat and wake up to the sights and sounds of the sea. Dive and explore the underwater environment at any time you wish. Start your morning with a dive, enjoying the beautiful colors of bright corals and schools of fish.

Liveaboards are recommended if you want to dive around the Tarutao group or the Hin Muang and Hin Daeng group. Hin Muang is the highest vertical wall in the country, with a southern side that drops more than 60 meters and a gentle eastern side with two long ridges descending into the deep blue. Hin Muang is completely submerged and it is a rock formation with an abundance of marine life. Large colorful sea fans adorn its walls, and schools of glass fish flock around the rocky outcrops and fans while searching for trevallies. Shallower sections are covered by anemones.

Hin Daeng is another submerged boulder with healthy soft red corals. One side is around 60 meters deep and the others seem like they can disappear into the abyss. Shallower sections of the pinnacle are covered with anemones, and sea fans cling to steep walls.

Some liveaboards can take you to other colorful places on the west coast, like Richelieu Rock. Find a reputable diving tour specialist in Phuket that is accredited by PADI. This way, you can be sure that you can be guided by skilled and professional divers, and you can ride in a large and state of the art boat that is designed for divers.
