DIVING DAY TRIPS, COURSES AND LIVEABOARDS WITH THAILAND DIVERS

I feel this may be a good time to write a bit about diving in phuket. What with all the trouble in the Middle East and all the people who normally dive in the Red Sea now having to look elsewhere to dive. Many are looking to the warm waters of phuket thailand to get their diving fix but there are so many choices for those that never travel out of the Red Sea. So many companies, so many places, so many dive sites. Where do they choose?? I am not going to say this is best or thats the best as everyone is different and everyone wants something different out of their trip . The beat thing is to listen to other people and what they say.

During high season there are so many options for diving in phuket.  From November through to April there are up to  hundred companies from all over the world all claiming the same thing. That they are the best and they are the only company to come tophuket scuba diving with. This is the first difference with Thailand Divers. We dont say how good we are. We rely on our customers to tell us about what they think of us. Some say this is a risky plan and it may be if you keep getting bad feedback. In this day and age more people complain  about things than say thank you, or we had a great time. However this has been the policy of Thailand Divers and it has worked for the last 13 years. Thailand divers has been teaching people scuba diving in phuket since 2003. Not only do we run all PADI courses but we also have 3 dive day trips seven days a week 365 days a year. Due to the conditions here phuket scuba diving is available here all year round. We teach people from total non swimmers who have never seen the sea before right up to people with 10,000 dives behind them. On top of this we also run liveaboard trips to the Similan Islands from Mid October right through till mid May departing everyday. So no matter when you arrive or depart we have a 1 night, 2 night, 3 night right up to 2 weeks or as many nights as you like departing on the day you want and returning on the day you want.  We also have live abaord trips during “low season” too to the uninhabited island of Racha Noi and out to Phi Phi again for either 1 night or 3 night trips.

All I can do is tell you whats is available and when it is either by e-mail, phone, or live chat on the website.  www.thailand-divers.com . I can advise you on local weather, conditions and what locations are diving well at the time you will be arriving. I can get you to the best locations for you and you group. But what I can not do is make comments on what our customers say about diving in phuket and about us. I can leave that part up to all of you.

Hi,

I can highly recommend this company for this phuket scuba diving trip. I did the 7 dives over the 2 days with 1 being a night dive.

Firstly a big than you to Simon who I contacted via message/email. Who was very helpful and quick with information and advice on arranging our trip.
Next was are transport and pick up via luxury a/c minibus early start 06:30 it was on time, the driver was informative and told us to have a sleep as it was a 1 and 1/2 hour trip to dock area.
So my wife was happy to have a sleep for the journey.
When we arrived at the docks, we were offered drinks, light snacks and toilet facilities were clean. All of our luggage was taken by the staff the boat/ bus boys, to the fast speed boat.
The speed boat was all packed up and we departed for the Simian Islands, about 1 & 1/4 hour journey.
We saw Dolphins swimming along side our boat. Great!
When we arrived at the large dive boat 3!!
We were greeted warmly by the ships crew.
The dive instructor was very welcoming and told us about our day with all the information we needed to know.
My dive master was George (Spanish) very nice guy. He sorted all our dive equipment out and put it altogether for us.
My wife was only on the boat for the day doing 2 dives, her dive master was Sun (Thai) lady and my wife said after she was very helpful and made her feel at ease.
The dives were amazing water was warm 28c lots of different and colourful fish to see and made more interesting by our dive masters input and knowledge of the area.
The boat dropped us off on our entry point the came to pick us up, lovely the boat boys were helpful in getting us out of the water, quickly and safely. So thank you guys it’s great when my wife gets tired and some one helps you out of the water.
The guys on the boat serviced all our scuba tanks so all we had to do was to turn on our air and safety checks, so easy.
The food was very good, tasty and hot. (Better than some taverners/ restaurants we visited. All drinks were free and plentiful food was available throughout the day.
The toilets/ shower rooms very clean so my wife was happy again.
The room I shared was comfortable and warm, plenty of room for two.
My only small problem was at the dive centre dock waiting room they had a price list of items to sell. Tee shirt 300thb ect, but when I returned I wanted to purchase one, to be told they don’t sell these items. Only on the boat. My fault I should have asked on board. But how many other people have done the same. Maybe someone on the boat should say that you can buy these on here. Or advertise them on the boat.
So I would highly recommend this trip amazing experience well organised throughout .
I will recommend to all my friends
Thank-you very much for the great memories and lovely adventure

When we get letters, e-mails,  reviews on trip advisor, comments on Facebook, Twitter and the rest like the one above from Louise and Wayne we know we are doing things right. We know that here at Thailand Divers that by listening to the people who come to phuket scuba diving and trust us to organize their trip for them, whether a day trip, Discover Scuba Diving for the total novice, divers and snorkelers together for the day or for a liveaboard and of course people who want to get their PADI license or next level certification, that we can and are providing the best service. Here at Thailand Divers we know that by listening to both customers and instructors alike how we can get better. That is how Thailand Divers has been doing so well over the last 13 years when so many other  dive centers have come and gone.  So before you book your dive trip just take a quick look at what real people think and all the options that each place has to offer. Have a talk with us on live chat to answers any other questions that you may have. So just see what other people are saying about diving in phuket. See what they were doing on their trip and see if thats what you like.

This is the Liveaboard Trip That Phuket and Everyone Who Dives in Phuket Has Been Waiting For.

This is the trip that everyone who goes diving in phuket has been waiting for. The live aboard boats are packed each season. All the people who come to phuket scuba diving are offered so many packages designed for everyone. Round trips to the similan islands and Richelieu rock that include a few reef dives, a couple of pinnacle dives, a few dives looking for the ” Big Stuff” This is great for groups and people who like varied things as it get everyone a chance to see what they want. But thats it ” a chance” to see what they want. This trip only goes to the locations that the other pass through in the hope of seeing something big.Thailand Divers is happy to bring in… The Big Fish Special. this boat only goes to these areas for the entire cruise. This means every minute of every dive you can hope to see someething amazing.

This is the trip we all want. This is why we go on liveaboards, to see the ” Big Stuff”. Well this is the trip for you. The BIG FISH SPECIAL.https://www.thailand-divers.com/similan-islands/big-fish-special.html This 3 day 3 night trip concentrates on the locations known for Manta Ray, The Whale Shark and the rest. .

The boat spends the cruise around Koh Bon, Koh Tachai and Richelieu Rock. There is no messing around in other areas. We pick you up in the afternoon and head directly out to Koh Bon that evening having dinner on the boat. This way you arrive at the first dive site the evening before so we can have the first dive fully fed and a good nights sleep. Non of these early starts. So 2 dives at Koh Bon then head north to Koh Tachai for another 2. Next morning 1 more dive on the Dome at Koh tachai. Moring dive is normally a great time for Manta and Whale shark as they are normally getting an early morning feed too.

Then head to Richelieu Rock for three dives. Here again its worth every second as Richelieu Rock was listed by National Geographic as one of the top 10 dive sites of the world. Then day 3 is 2 more dives with the Manta Rays at Koh Bon and then a the last dive at Boon Sung wreck.

If its the big and beautiful that you want then you cant get better than this. This can be yours for as little as 21,000 Thai Baht all in. Thats equipment, national park fees, hotel transfers, all meals, and expert guide. It does not get better than this and the food is something special too and more than you can ever eat. Even more this trip is not for only advanced divers but its possible to actually take your PADI Open Water Certification on this trip at the same time.

There are also so many other options too. 3 days in the similan islands stunning reefs,https://www.thailand-divers.com/similan-islands/manta-queen3.htmlor complete tours of Similans right up to Richelieu rock combining everything. 3 days, 4 days, 5 days the choice is yours and departures are almost everyday. Get away from the crowds and day trippers that swamp other boats. Small groups and smaller dive groups.

This is the way to dive. this is the reason people come to phuket scuba diving for. The day trips are about as good as you can get anywhere. The live aboards are great tours but what we all want is the photo of us with the Manta or Whale Shark. The “Big Stuff is what we all really want to see. This is the reason we book liveaboards when we go scuba diving in phuket.

Scuba Diving in Phuket Thailand is addictive and you can Never be 100% free from its Hold.

                                                      Phuket Thailand is addictive.

Each year so many people come to phuket thailand for their holidays and not all for diving and one thing happens to so many. After the holiday they go home as normal but then something kicks in as you find that next year they are here twice and then slowly they have several trips a year and each trip gets longer and longer.

For those of us that dive here its twice as hard to leave. The one thing that never changes when diving in phuket. Stunning locations, amazing sunsets and awesome people to dive with everyday of the year. Once you have been to phuket scuba diving then you will never forget it and nothing else will ever be quite the same. Scuba diving in phuket is an addiction and once hooked it will always be there in the back of you mind.

No matter where you go and what you do, all amazing places but for many its always just not quite hit that perfect spot as it does in Phuket. May be the sea just a touch colder or the whale shark not quite as close or the beer at the ed of the day just not quiet as cold and crisp as it was in Phuket. What ever it is or most probebly a combintaion of many things the result is the same the people just need to come back to phuket scuba diving more and more.

May be its the fact that here diving in phuket anything is possible. From Orca's to Sea Horses, Leopard Sharks any number of whales or Dolphins. From Whale sharks to the shy Bamboo Shark, Ribbon Eels to Frog Fish. Everyday diving in phuket thailand then anything is possible.

For many who are lucky enough to be in phuket scuba diving all year round keep saying a bad day in phuket scuba diving is still better than the best day in another office. With that I disagree as I have had some awesome offices. From high in the Alpes to the beaches of Europe, From the out in the wilderness to oceans of the Med. From the tropical heat to the crisp -30 on a perfect winter morning. All are amazing but the draw of phuket thailand still has just that bit extra. Something you cant quite put you finger in. All those people that have been here will tell you the same. Everytime you come to phuket thailand you want just that little bit more. One thing is for sure and that something about phuket thailand is addictive.
