Great Times Ahead For Diving in Phuket With Thailand Divers

Thailand divers in Phuket has always been looking for new ways to improve the service and enjoyment for all who come to Phuket Thailand each year for their holidays.



 The island has so much to offer for everyone. From long open beaches, warm seas of clear blue water, hundreds of small tropical islands to explore by speed boat or longtail boat. The list of great Phuket tours is endless.


Thailand Divers as the name tells you is a top Phuket dive center here on Phuket running all PADI courses. For those wanting to discover scuba diving Phuket is an ideal location. With is warm shallow reefs make it like learning to dive in an aquarium. Then for those wanting to get certified there is the PADI open water course phuket again is an ideal location as there are so many islands to explore over the three day course.

Then of course we have the awesome Similan islands.  These islands provide some of the best diving and snorkeling there is anywhere in the world. The Similans themselves are a chain of nine islands but most people also include the islands of Koh Bon, Koh Tachai and Richelieu Rock as well. For those who come scuba diving Thailand then the similan islands liveaboard is as good as it gets. Anything from an overnight trip to a week or 10 days is possible here with such a huge area reaching right up into Burma. Then by speed boat you can visit four of the Similan islands and get the ultimate Phuket snorkel tour.

Then for those who like to explore there are so many other Phuket tours to places like Phi Phi island on the Phi Phi Bamboo tour or James Bond Island.  Then with Phuket being on the edge of the Andaman ocean we have a huge expanse of ocean right on the door step which makes phuket game fishing a great draw for many keen big game fishing lovers.  The big fish are here all year round but if you are planning for the months of July - September then you will be advised to bring waterproofs and sea sick tablets as you never know when a tropical down poor may happen. The big game fishing Phuket is always good but the seas can get choppy too during the monsoon season.



There are plenty or land based tours too. Great one day, over night or 2 night Phuket safari tours taking in the jungles, rivers and massive lakes in the Khao Sok national park.


Bamboo rafting, elephant trekking, long tail excursions, jungle treks, sleeping in bungalows in the jungle or on stilts on the lake shore offers some stunning locations and photos. Plus quad biking, white water rafting, Sight seeing tours and the list again is endless.


Here a Thailand Divers we have so far taken care of all the diving phuket has and all the sightseeing tour as there are so many both land and water based. Next you need a top quality phuket hotel to use as a base to explore and a place to relax in comfort, peace and quiet.


Here we have over a few years taken note of the Phuket guest houses that seem to be very popular with customers year in year out.  They need to be high quality service, closer to all the attractions and yet quite and tucked away from the masses. This way you get a quiet oasis that most people dont even know about and yet still have to be great value. We are always adding and looking out for new Patong beach hotels to add to our list BUT they only get added if they really do tick all the boxes and come up to the highest standards.


Then new for this year we have added a awesome bar. Mermaids bar is a great place to relax in after a days on the water or the beach. Sit back with a cocktail, cold beer or glass of wine. Chat with many others who have just done the same as you.


 This is a great place to meet new friends and get away from the loud thumping music that so many other bars seem to love. The staff are super friendly. Again chosen for the customer care and service skills they will always make sure you are taken good care of. Then the best part is the prices.


There now is not much more to say. Thailand Divers has got the best diving, the best instructors, the best tours both on land and sea. We have done all the leg work and found the best Phuket hotels and guest houses. Now a great little bar too in an ideal location to watch the world go by and only a few minutes to Patong Town center. So now when planning a trip to Phuket Thailand there really is just one place to contact to take care and plan the perfect trip for you.


Amazing End of Season Deals and Awesome Low Season Tours wWith Thailand Divers.

So many people come to Phuket Thailand each year during the peak season. Then they seem to have the opinion that before December and After February is all monsoon season. WRONG.



During April and May there is some of the best days for scuba diving Thailand you will ever get. There are less people, the sea is at its warmest, the vizability is perfect as its been calm for 5 months or more. Plus you still have all the great marine life too.

There are so many phuket tours available both for diving and non diving alike. The seas are calm so a great time for the speed boats to go to places like James Bond island. Then there are the best of all the Thailand islands just there off the west coast the Similan islands. This chain of nine islands offers some of the worlds best diving and for the non divers its the best of the phuket snorkeling trips available. The similans are a paradise for everyone.

Every year if you are wanting a last minute dive trip there are some excellent discounts on similan islands livabaord trips. These normally become available from mid April so the amazing price matches the amazing diving. There is also plenty of phuket day trips too that are available all year round. The diving in phuket is suitable for all levels. For those who have never done it before and want to discover scuba diving phuket is the perfect place to start.

There are many other phuket safari tours both on an off the water like the great over night khao Sok safari tour through the lakes and Jungle in the Khao Sok national park. There is far more than just diving in phuket. The selection of phuket game fishing trips will give you the chance to not only catch a fresh tuna for your tea but also get to grips with a Sail fish or Black marlin too. The game fishing phuket has just off shore can be a real exciting day out.

So do not think that Phuket Thailand is just a couple of moths a year but it really is an all year round resort both on and off the water.

Become A Scuba Diving Professional With Thailand Divers


If you love scuba diving and hate the "rat race" then this may just be the way to go. Here in Phuket Thailand we can offer you the greatest life changing step you will ever make.

Here in the warm tropics amongst the many Thailand islands lies Phuket. Just off the west coast.  If you have never been diving phuket then you know that it really is awesome diving and some of the best scuba diving Thailand has to offer. For those that have been then they will as so many before have been then are hooked. Then there are the lucky few who can call this island paradise home.


Ok so whats the first step?? Well the first professional level is Divemaster. All you need to begin this course is just to have 40 logged dives. Then you need to decide on a phuket dive center. There are many to choose from. First you look for one that has been around for many years as there are some like Thailand Divers that have been teaching diving on the island for 15 years now.  The dive centre Thailand you choose will make all the difference. When doing the PADI divemaster course phuket or anywhere come to that you want all the experience you can get.



For many people who do a PADI Divemaster course Thailand they do it over a couple of months. This is by far the best way to do it as the more experience you get on your divemaster course then the better divemaster you will be on completion. As a divemaster then you will be expected to be a great guide, give accurate, informative and descriptive dive briefings. Then lead the dive keeping control of the group without spending the whole dive banging your tank and telling everyone to stay together. Then you will also need to be aware off all the divers abilities and air consumption. Then how to manage the dive to give the whole group maximum time underwater and not have to cut a dive short as one person runs out of air. This is all experience.


Then in top of that most people who are doing the PADI divemaster course phuket are doing it with the aim of continuing on to do an IDC Thailand too and become a PADI open water scuba instructor.  The role of a divemaster is to assist the instructor when teaching. This is also vey good experience for you when you decide to move up and do your own PADI instructor developement course Thailand. So the longer you can spend on you divemaster course then the more varied course you will be able to assist with. Yes for sure you will assist with an open water course phuket and of course the most common thing when people are on holiday and want to try something new. Then they want to discover scuba diving phuket which is always a lot of fun when you are a divemaster and all of a sudden you see what its like when you learn to dive phuket from the other side. Now you are not just doing the skills for yourself but showing others how to do them. Take the phuket open water course. How many skills were there when you did that?? Now you have to do all of these in a manor so others can see what you are doing in a slow relaxed manor and all very exaggerated so as to highlight every point of the skill. These are all roles of the divemaster.


So as so many people want to learn to dive in Phuket there is always a huge need for good divemasters.  Plus every month of the year there is an IDC Phuket too which again is alway great for people doing their PADI divemaster course phuket.


Plus here we have the huge bonus of the best islands in Thailand....The similan islands. These great islands are fantastic diving and are rated in the top ten in the world. The similans are a massive draw for divers who want to spend several days on the boat and exploring as they go. The Similan island liveaboard season is mid October till mid May so if you can arrange your divemaster course for this time then some great diving awaits you. There are some great phuket tours to the similan islands for over night trips to 8 day phuket safari tours that go right up into the Surin island and on into the Burma banks. Diving in Thailand as a divemaster and even when as a divemaster trainee and if you choose the right dive center an the right time of year then there is no reason that you will not end up in the Similan islands Thailand for a trip ( or two) of a lifetime.


Now Thailand Divers have gone one step better. Why not do a 6 week divemaster internship Thailand in the Similan islands?? This way you can get all the experience of guiding and teaching and be in one of the best locations on earth. A similan divemaster course will take 6 weeks and include at least 3 similan liveaboard trips. This in itself is worth every penny as one 3 day trip costs 20, 000 baht. So in the six week course you will do 3 trips of three, four or even five days which are more than the cost of the trips.


Then on top of that you can get a months work on completion of the course getting in more diving and getting paid so you can get some of the money back again directly. How good is that. Doing the PADI divemaster course similans including three similan liveabaord trips PLUS then another month on the similan island liveabaords and getting paid for enjoying the similan islands diving. Where better than the similans to gopro Thailand.

Phuket diving is a great place for all types and experience of diver. Great wrecks to stunning reefs no matter what you like scuba diving phuket is the place for you.



The on top of that just off the north west coast we have the Similan islands. This offers some of the best diving on the planet. The similans are a chain of nine islands with gentle sloping reefs and perfectly clear water for most of the year. Think similan Thailand and you will have the best diving you will find anywhere. A normal similan liveabaord will take in the similan national park, the surin islands and a day diving richelieu rock. A few days diving from a similan liveabaord will be the highlight of any scuba diving trip.


Then for non divers we have many different day tours to all the best locations loke James Bond island, Phi Phi Bamboo island, elephant trekking, ATV riding and even one or two day safari trips into the Khao Sok national park.

We now offer many great patong hotels that have been raved about by our customers. We are only showing ones that have proved to offer quality and service well above the price tag.


We are looking for a guesthouse Patong that is very comfortable and in quiet streets but close to the town centre too. These will be the hidden oasis that many people walk past and dont know they are there. They must offer a good nights sleep so you can be well rested but close to the shopping and restaurants too.



Our Patong guest houses and amazing hotel patong has on offer should make the finishing touches to a perfect holiday.


The Amazing Similan Islands Is Not Just For Experience Divers But For Novices And Snorkelling Too.



 Similan Islands are a group of 9 islands located in the Andaman Sea, approximately 75 km off the coast of Thailand’s Phangna Province. Established as a national park in 1982, the islands have more recently been named by the National Geographic Society as one of the world’s top ten most beautiful destinations. With its crystal clear water and the finest sand in the world. the island’s waters provide ideal snorkeling conditions. Above the water, Similan Thailand you think of powdery sand, found on the beautiful white beaches throughout the islands, crystal clear bays and lagoons. Come and join us for the day were we will visit 4 of the 9 amazing islands of the Similans. Voted top 10 destination of the world by National Geographic.


The Similan island national park is a very popular site as they are the best of the phuket islands but you do need to be certified to dive there. This however does allow you to do the open water course similans on a similan island liveabaord. This does mean they you can learn to dive phuket or in the similan islands. 


Because it's world renowned for its access to nearby Surin islands and Similan Island 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.



If you are in phuket thailand and you do not visit the similan islands then you are missing out on not only the best islands in Thailand but one of the top places on earth. 


Is There A More Beautiful Place To Learn To Dive Than Phuket Thailand??



This is the big question for for so many people when they first start to think about scuba diving.  Many people on holiday discover scuba diving Phuket as do many other location run this experience day trip everyday of the year. Then you are hooked. But now you need to get certified. Where is the best location? Is it better to get certified at you local dive club and a gravel pit or flooded quarry and then go to the great exotic locations as a certified diver?? Or is it better to do the course in the location that you are going to for your holiday??


Ok so the real question is are you going to do more of your diving after you are certified in a quarry or are you going to do most of you diving in locations such as Phuket Thailand? As all good instructors and dive centers will tell you that the Open Water certification allows a person to dive to a depth of 18 meters in conditions similar to those in which they were trained. So the simple answer is if you intend to do your diving in a cold gravel pit with 1 meter vizability then the gravel pit is where you should learn to dive. But if you are wanting the warm tropical waters are your preferred place where you want to be doing your diving then you should learn to dive Phuket.


Learn to scuba dive phuket is a very simple thing to sign up for. The warm tropical waters have been a big draw for many years and as such, Thailand Divers has been teaching people diving in Thailand for many years. A good Phuket dive shop will have a course starting on any day you so choose. There are many things to do in Phuket so if you are in a group or family then there are plenty of other things that they can be doing at the same time.


Scuba diving Thailand offers some of the best diving in the world so why not learn to dive in Phuket where you can start with the best. For those of you that have experienced phuket diving before and now are looking to do the open water course phuket or are on holiday with other certified divers the it will be well worth looking at doing your course on a liveaboard to the similan islands.


These are the best islands in Thailand and also in the top ten diving locations in the world so where better to learn to dive.  The similans are only open six months of the year from mid October until min May so make sure you plan this when booking your trip to Thailand. A similan islands liveaboard for all level of diver will be a trip to remember. The clear blue waters that are 28 - 30 degrees all year. This is one of the few places that you are able to see Manta Ray and Whale sharks on the open water course. A phuket diving trips is not complete without a similan liveaboard trip.


The Best Islands In Thailand Are About To Open For Another Great Season.


Its that time of year again. The big boats are getting their final polish and lick of paint. All the thousands of sets of rental scuba gear is being serviced and numbered. Yes the best islands in Thailand are about to open up for another season. On the 14th of October in under one months time the first boats will be departing for the Similan islands filled with eager divers wanting to be the first in the water for the start of the season on the 15th.  The hotels and guest houses of Phuket Thailand are getting booked and the whole island is gearing up for another great season.






The similans are always a massive draw as they offer some of the best diving in the world and its with easy reach of all the great resorts on Phuket.  There are many other things to do in phuket but for the the island of Phuket and the many Phuket dive shops the opening of the  similan islands liveaboard season marks the start of the "high season" .



This is not the case for most of Thailand Phuket itself still has to wait a few weeks till mid November for the whole island to start to get the high season vibe. But for all scuba diving phuket its a great feeling to be the first person to see the manta ray or whale shark in the similan islands which is why that first trip is alway one of great expectation.



The scuba diving Thailand has to offer is great no matter where you go compared to what most people have in their own countries but as what has been mentioned before the best islands in Thailand are the Similan islands and the Surin islands. This being the case makes them something special.  The warm clear blue water, the empty white sandy beaches, the banana trees lining the shore, blue sky overhead and the flat glass like sea that enables you to see the bottom some thirty meters below.  if you are lucky you will get a dolphin escort as you are cruising out to the first dive site. if this happens then for sure you are in for a great few days scuba diving phuket and the Similan islands.




Most similan liveaboard trips will spend a day or two in similan islands themselves before heading north to Koh Bon, Koh Tachai and the Surin islands and then the highlight for most is the day spent diving Richelieu Rock.  This was also listed in Jaques Cousteau's top ten of all time great dives and if anyone should know where to dive then he should know. When the trip reaches Koh Bon then you can expect to see a manta Ray or Whale shark at every location. This is where they love to be. Ok there are never promises but these great fish are seen in all locations from Koh Bon north very often indeed.



This amazing location for scuba diving in phuket is open from Mid October until mid May each year when it closes for another six months.  Being the great location it is then those who want the best and want to experience similan island diving need to think fast as the trips can get full very quickly. many people booking for the following year as they depart this year. Then times like Christmas and New year are being booked from 6 months in advance with the last spaces for this peak time going in September or early October. The one thing that can be sure is that once you have been on one of the many Thailand liveaboards to the similans then you will find it very hard to find somewhere better. this will be the bench mark for all other trips. Nothing else will quite hit the spot. this is the trip of a lifetime.
