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.

The Similan Islands Are Producing Great Early Seaason Diving In Phuket Thailand.


As always Phuket Thailand eagerly awaits the opening of the similan island national park and this year no different. This year however had was slightly different as we have unusually strong winds and the end of the rainy season is a little later this year. This ment that the trip from the mainland out to the similans was a bit bumpy to say the least. But for those with strong enough stomachs to go were well rewarded. Once there the warm clear water welcomed the the divers with open arms.



The similans islands liveaboards are a rare treat to all divers. Tiny pin pricks on any map but they offer the best scuba diving Thailand has and that mean the best in the world.  Diving phuket has some stunning diving along its very long coast line but when you leave the gulf of Thailand and head out west into the Andaman ocean then thats when you hit the jackpot. The similan islands and surin islands including Richelieu rock will give you the best diving you will find anywhere. When planing a dive trip all you need to do is think Similan Thailand richelieu rock and you know you can not go wrong.


For all scuba divers experienced or novice. As long as you have your PADI open water certification then you are free to explore the similan islands Thailand.  These days with the amount of people wanting to experience similan island diving it is even possible to ( on certain trips) to even get you PADI open water course similan islands. You do the class and pool session in the morning and afternoon and then board the similan island livaboard that night where you can do the open water part of the course in the stunning setting of the similan islands national park. There is no better location to get certified.

Outstanding Diving On The Big Fish Special with Thailand Divers in The Similan Islands


The similan islands are well worth their reputation as one of the best places to dive in the world. The chain of nine islands that make up the similans make for nice easy diving with clear warm waters. Nice sandy bays and excellent viz.




For those who like the "big stuff" Phuket Thailand will not disappoint you. then you should head to the northern end of the similan island national park to the island of Koh Bon. This is a great place to see the Manta Ray. Then head north again you will find the stunning island of Koh Tachai with towering pinnacles and stunning coral gardens. This is the most northern point to the Similan island national marine park.  This is depending on who you talk to the best diving in Thailand. Then as the next dive site Richelieu rock is listed as one of the top ten in the world makes Koh Tachai a rare treat to dive. Not only have the best coral gardens and pinnacles but over head keeps your eyes open for the Giant oceanic manta Ray and the largest fish in the ocean the Whale shark. This is the best diving phuket has to offer and boy is it good.




                                                                                                                                                                          Next stop is the surin islands and richelieu rock. As mentioned before richelieu rock in rated as one of the top ten dive sites in the world. The divesite is stunning and no doubt about it. Many of the similan islands liveboard boats spend two or three dives here. Again this is stunning. Amazing colours, soft and hard corals, massive sea fans and such marine life as you will never see anywhere else. Plus again the Manta ray and Whale sharks are very common here too.



This is why many of the shorter similan island liveaboards are either in the similan islands or in the northern area. Then its only the longer trips or four days or longer that cover all of the best islands in Thailand as you need four of five days to cover them all.  If you are thinking of a liveabaord for your dive trip then you do have a lot of thinking to do. A similan Thailand trip will be the best diving you will do but the question is just how long do you want to stay.  Just pop into Thailand divers or visit us on the website and talk to us via the live chat and we can let you know whats available and what will best fit into your time frame as we have trips departing everyday. From overnight trips to eight or even ten day on any number of boats to suit all budgets. Similan island diving will be a holiday you will dream of for many years to come. They are the best of the Phuket islands so the longer you are there the more great things you will see.



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. 


The Similan Islands Are OPEN

Yes at last the similan islands are open again for scuba diving and snorkelling. The first boats are departing this afternoon (14th october) so they can be there in place for the early morning dive on the 15th. The Similan island national park has been closed since the last boat returned on the 17th of May.  As many scuba divers know the similans are the pinnacle of scuba diving locations.


These amazing islands make a chain of small isolated pin pricks of perfection out in the Andaman ocean.  Think of the Similan Thailand and you will get some of the best diving on earth. From the stunning coral reefs on the islands themselves to the soaring pinnacles of Koh Tachai and Richelieu Rock with the Manta Ray and Whale Shark cruising lazily overhead.  This really is a scuba divers paradise on earth.


As you can guess these are by far the best islands in Thailand for both scuba diving and for snorkelling too. Warm shallow reefs teeming with life. Just do not forget to bring your camera. The best way to experience the Similan islands is on a similan islands liveaboard. These are plentiful both in numbers and in length of trip. From a quick over night to two weeks. There is no upper limit to the amount of time you can spend here.



The quality of the boats does vary on price from super delux to standard. But even the cheapest boats are very comfortable with air con cabins and great food with as much as you can eat. The one thing that is certain you will not loose weight on board.



Thailand liveabaords are some of the best in the world and they are so easy to access. Any good phuket dive shop will have a good selection of trips on offer and like Thailand divers the staff are available almost 24 hours a day via live chat option on the website to answer any questions that you may have.


There are many Phuket islands with in easy reach of the main island of phuket Thailand but the ones that should not be missed are the similan islands and the surin islands. Open for only six months each year and offering the best diving on the planet then you do need to book in advance to be safe of getting the dates you wish. But one thing is for sure it will be the best diving trip you will do for a very long time.
