Scuba Diving
Scuba Diving
Because it's world renowned for its access to nearby Surin and Similan Islands,
scuba diving is a huge draw to the island of Phuket. Thailand is one of
the most affordable places to get into this hugely rewarding sport, yet
it is not without its risks -- safety is paramount when choosing your
operator. When you are selecting a company, always check that it is PADI
certified. Many of the storefront operations are just consolidators for
other companies (meaning you get less quality care and pay a fee to a
middle man), so ask if they have their own boats and make sure you'll be
diving with the folks you meet behind the counter. Also check about the
ratio of divers to instructor or dive master; anything more than
five-to-one is not acceptable, and it should be more like two-to-one for
beginner courses.
