Amazing New Totally Untouched Dives Sites in Phuket Thailand

Phuket Thailand is a tourist hub and has been for many years. The number of people who come here each year to experience the amazing scuba diving Phuket has to offer is on the increase every year.

This in itself as many people who have been here for a long while will tell you the impact that having all the Phuket scuba diving centers all going to the same locations everyday of the year. This is why here at Thailand Divers we are always exploring new places and new ideas to make the whole diving and holiday experience with us stand out from the crowds.

This week we had a great day and a great result. With the aid of a top captain, information from local fisherman, another dive centre looking for the same as us we struck gold or I should say coral. Its amazing to think that with all the people that come scuba diving Thailand each year that such great diving can still be found just a short distance from an island like Phuket.

We set off with a small group of experienced instructors and a GPS along with a bottom echo sounder. The locations were places that dive boats pass over everyday on their way to other places. To be safe we used 28% Nitrox to extend the bottom time but also to allow us depth as we thought these sites may be deep. We were very right.

The first location was called " The Rock" ( Location secret). Here we all kitted up and jumped in. This was a dive site at first glance could have been any phuket diving site. The problem was having never been there before we did not know what side of " The Rock" to jump so we chose the side protected from the current. Wrong choice. By the time we got close to the bottom we were below 40 meters. No good. This also ment most people opted for an explore of an area east of the decent point which peaked at 25 meters. Again not good for a less experienced diver. However all was not lost. This will be a great location for those looking for a more advanced PADI dive course phuket. All divers will tell you there is always more to learn once you discover scuba diving in Phuket.

This is where the experience of scuba diving Phuket for many years comes into play. When you know you can do a 30 meter dive for 50 minutes with an 11 liter tank of air and still have half left. Now you now have a 15 liter tank of Nitrox then you know you have air to spare. So Head down and start kicking as you have air to burn.

Then into view came some huge netted cages ten meters long and two meters tall on the side of the rock. Then as the dive got shallower as you rise up the side of the rock the fish appear. Hundreds of them. Then reaching the top of the giant rock and as you peer through the schools of fish and down the other side you can see a shallower sandy area with plenty of coral too. This was the area to dive. All that happened as a first dive was we got the wrong side. Now we know that the top area is around 18 meters and if you dive the west side there is so much to see.

Then dive number two. Again even closer to Phukets main diving marina in Chalong. This dive was only on air but boy was it great. We dropped onto the side of a giant pinnacle around the 30 meter point. He we we surrounded in masses of soft coral and so many different types of fish. There was a canyon directly ahead full of sea fans so we worked our was into this. Arriving at the top of this on to a flat plateau covered in purple, white and pink soft corals. This was as good as any diving in the similan islands. Schools of fish everywhere and a huge Giant Morae that did not look to pleased to see us. I guess these fish did not see divers before.



We both just looked at each other with huge smiles. We had no idea of which way to swim as all directions looked great. So we just drifted with the current which was very slight. After around 20 minutes of this we saw some other people from our boat coming towards us. I guess they did not go up the canyon but went around instead. So we all teamed up and came back over the top of the huge reef. Bright sunlight, thirty meter viz, 28 degree water and diving as good as you get on any similan islands liveaboard trip but with no people was amazing.



Ok, I can say that the diving was as good as diving in the similans. Yes for sure its not even close to the size and scale of the similan island national park. But its almost unbelievable to have such great diving right on the doorstep of the biggest tourist island when all the other phuket dive shops go straight past to the run of the mill sites that they have used and wrecked over the last ten years.  Now when you think similan Thailand you can also think phuket too.

Here at Thailand divers we are always looking to improve the quality of the diving but also the whole experience. So now you can have a great Patong beach hotel or guest house that is a good deal above the rest. We can now recommend a great patong hotel close to all the life but nicely hidden in little side streets offering their own little oasis of calm.

 A good guest house patong will offer all the peace and quiet you need and expect after a day in phuket scuba diving but also close to the shopping and restaurants too. One of our patong guest house choices will really give you your own tropical beach feeling to match the top quality diving available.

What A Great First Few Weeks To High Season

Yes here in sunny Phuket Thailand its hight season again.  The conditions for diving are perfect. Warm clear water with 30 meter viz at many locations. When you have diving conditions this good so early in the season we know this year scuba diving Thailand will be awesome.  The Whale Shark and Manta Ray are already here and the rain has almost gone. Just the odd shower late at night.

The similan islands liveabaord season is well under way now and many people have been very lucky with the early conditions.  The similan islands Thailand is well know for its great diving and high class similan liveabaord boats. This makes a holiday diving phuket one of the most sort after destinations around.  The similans island national park is set in the blue Andaman ocean off the west coast of Thailand and the phuket liveaboard trips normally combines the similans and surin islands into one great four or five day trip. The similans or the Surin islands can be done on their own on an over night trips or three day 2 night trips but to make the best out of them a three or four day trip is advised. Longer if you have time as when you are diving there you will not want to leave.

When arriving in Thailand its better to book a Patong beach hotel for a day or two to get used to the weather and get over the flight. When on a Similan Thailand trip you will want to be well over the travel to make the most of every dive. There are some really great patong hotels if you know where to look. Down many side streets just minutes away from the town centre you can find an amazing guest house patong just waiting to be discovered. A quiet oasis in and a perfect location to prepare for you diving.  A patong guest house can be a great little retreat.

Thailand Divers now offers all the best dive trips to all the best local and liveaboard destinations. All good Phuket scuba diving centres will be able to offer many trips but the best boats, best instructors are harder to find.  Thailand Divers dive shop phuket can also offer great trips both on and off the water too. Great tours for both divers and non divers alike. But still there is a couple of phuket dive centres that can still arrange these for you.

But where Thailand Divers has come into its own is the fact we have done all the leg work both for the dive trips, Liveabaord trips, snorkelling trips and so many other tours like James Bond island, Phi Phi Bamboo island, ATV riding, rafting and one and two day safari tours into Khao Sok national park.

Thailand Divers Has Now Made Scuba Diving In Thailand The Best Diving Experience In The World.

Thailand Divers this season has yet again come up with a new way to help everyone get the most out of their stay in Phuket Thailand. Over the years when we have evolved in to far more than just a top phuket diving centre.  Many years ago we had the aim to give people the best possible diving experience here in Phuket. Both certified divers and for those wanting to learn to dive phuket on their holiday.

Then we found that our customers wanted more and more options. So we moved to start offering trips to the Similan islands too. These are a chain of islands off the west coast with some of the best diving anywhere in the world.  A similan islands liveaboard trip can be anything from 1 night to a full on 8 day adventure taking in the similans and surin islands and then up into the Burma banks.  The similan Thailand adventure will be one of the best experiences diving anywhere.

Then for those who enjoy scuba diving Thailand but do not want to spend their nights on the boat but prefer to come back home each evening to enjoy the hospitality of Phuket we have plenty of day trips available.  Diving phuket is great fun and here at Thailand divers we can offer all the beat locations everyday of the year. Scuba diving Thailand again has some amazing dive sites and now we top class boats too. A good cooked breakfast, lunch and fresh pancakes for the way back all cooked fresh onboard by our great chef. All this is included in the price as well as the company of our top instructors.

This to most is all you need but then if you friends and family that do no dive?? What about them. Never fear Thailand Divers delivers yet again. We also have non diving trips to all the best and most popular sights. James Bond island, Phi Phi Bamboo, Krabi,  Phang Nga National park, elephant trekking, ATV driving and safari into the Khao Sok national park plus many many more. We also have snorkel tours to the similans and other trips that combine diving, snorkeling, canoeing and beach time too so the whole family can have a great day out together.

This is what we thought what what was needed to cover all bases. But this year we saw another way to improve things and make even more from Phuket. We saw some tours did not pick up from some locations or charged a high price for the transfer. This made it harder for people to find  a good quality Phuket hotel that was close by, well priced, high quality and in the free transfer area. Sounded like a mission but yet again Thailand Divers come through.

We now have a  found a selection of high quality Patong hotel and Patong Guest house all close by but in tucked away areas. Our choices of Patong Beach hotels are all from our customers who were impressed with the quality and price. We have both Patong guest houses and hotels that are close to the town centres and beach but in hidden alcoves which provide a tranquil oasis to relax and get away from the crowds on the beaches. But close by for when you need the town centre, shopping or a night out on the town. These range from hostels, hotels, bungalows to beach front villas.

At last we now feel we have covered all areas to make sure you holiday to Phuket Thailand can be the best it possible can. We have the best diving in the world right on our doorstep and now we have the boats, staff, instructors, food and not places to stay to match the quality of the diving and all at a great price too. Happy holidays.
