A Totally Unexpected yet Awesome Start to 2017 For Diving In Phuket Thailand.



Yes Phuket Thailand has had a very unusual and yet spectacular start to the year.  Thailand phuket is well known for its great diving and people have been visiting these white shores for decades. For the lucky people who turned up for a warm break for scuba diving phuket this new year got a pleasant welcome.


The best islands in Thailand are the similan islands but even these can be affected by the odd weather this year. The similns are still amazing diving by any standards. The trouble with these peak weeks are the fact that people tend to use the internet to prebook. pre booking scuba diving Thailand in these peak weeks is normally a good idea. This year locations such as Phi Phi and the similans were booked out well in advance. However the lucky people that actually spoke to the Phuket dive centers before booking struck gold.


The islands of Racha Noi and Racha Yai is the location less people have heard of except those people who came to learn to dive Phuket.  these two islands are the prime location for those wanting to discover scuba diving phuket or do the open water water course phuket. This year there have been many, many sightings of Manta rays at Racha Noi. There have been Whale sharks too plus a real bonus of a pod of Minke Whales and one female with a pup. Then Dolphins too and all this along with the normal Leopard sharks, turtles, cuttlefish, Octopus and the hundreds of all the other tropical reef fish.


We are not saying a similan island liveabaoard trip is not a great trip as they are. This year in the northern areas around Richelieu Rock are still as good as always but the shock is the last minute bookings from people walking into a dive shop phuket last minute and booking a phuket scuba diving trip. They were lucky enough to get the best diving very close to phukets shores. So it seems the best way to book is to look at what you want to see and places to go but then ask the locals as to what the best diving in phuket is right now.


Thailand Divers Now Offers The Complete Holiday Package, Hotels, Tours, Dive Tours and PADI Courses.

This season and for many to come Thailand Divers has been doing all it can to introduce new divers to the underwater world.  Phuket Thailand is the perfect location with warm shallow reefs with almost unlimited sea life to see.



This makes anyone wanting to discover scuba diving Phuket is the ideal location. We have large comfortable boats with great food to match the great diving phuket has on offer.



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. Thailand Divers now has a fun filled holiday for divers and non divers alike.

The last thing that you need to have a great trip and makes for a top holiday is the hotel. Guess what Thailand Divers has spent time to source out the best Patong beach hotels too. 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.


At Last A Dive Trip Fitting With A Tropical Island Paradise







At last there is a great dive trip that does not need you to get up before the birds. Phuket Thailand has a large number of dive centers and even more dive boats bit they all have just one thing in common. "We pick you up from your hotel at 07:30am" or if you are going to the Similan islands then its 06:30am.  Now what do people want on holiday? Most want a lie in followed by a good breakfast and may be a dip in the pool before thinking about what to do for the day.  Sounds good yes??



Well here at Thailand Divers we have something new to offer.  We have made diving phuket a relaxed affair. We now have an afternoon diving trip with hotel pick ups starting at midday.  We have taken scuba diving Thailand to a whole new level.  Although the big dive boats offer great service, excellent food and a very relaxed day in stunning surroundings. The two things that they cant offer is late starts or short boat trips.


Now the long boat trip does have a bad effect on some....sea sickness. Now by using a comfortable high powered speed boat we can solve both these problems. With a boat trip of 30 minutes there is not time for the motion sickness to kick in, specially as 10 minutes of this time is in the large bay where the marina is located.  As far as things to do in Phuket goes scuba diving is up there at the top of the list. The great thing about the scuba diving  Phuket has to offer is we have great locations in shallow waters very close to the main island resorts.


Phuket diving is in warm waters all year round and we dive here 365 days a year. The locations we have available offer great diving for even the most nervous divers. Discover scuba diving phuket is done not in a pool but on the shallow reefs of Racha Noi and or racha Yai. Now this has far more to see than the sides of a swimming pool.



This afternoon trip is a perfect way to discover scuba diving phuket.  You can still make full use of the great nightlife the night before and still have time to go diving. The trip will speed you out to the island of Racha Yai where you will have time for 2 dives each one an hour long. There is time to relax on the beach too. Plus for non divers there is great swimming and snorkelling while those who want to dive do.

After the second dive its back aboard the speed boat where you will have time for a glass of sparkling wine or chilled punch as we speed over the flat ocean as the sun sets into the golden ocean. This is what diving in Thailand should be like. Lazy days, tropical islands, warm clear oceans, spectacular sunsets and chilled fizz as the sun sets. Now this is what the experience dives can see very day on the liveaboards in the similans but has always been out of reach of many novice divers and pretty much all snorkelers. But not anymore. Paradise really has come to the masses and every single person who wants to experience scuba diving in Phuket. This is a great boat on which to learn to dive Phuket as you can do both discover scuba diving and even your open water course Phuket without having to get up at the crack of dawn. This is how holidays in Thailand phuket especially are ment to be.



Thailand Divers is Starting Some Great New Dive Tours and Experiences For 2016 /17


Thailand Divers is always looking to add new experiences for both divers, non divers and people who want to Try Diving.  Here in Phuket Thailand we are always looking to adapt and offer new trips and tours to add to all the things to do in Phuket that are already on offer. 


This season we are starting with a half day Phuket scuba diving trip. This will be running for three days a week to begin with.  Every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday we will be offering a two dive day to the coral reefs of Racha Yai. This is a great location when scuba diving Thailand as when on holiday you do not any longer need to get up early to go diving in Thailand


With this trip for scuba diving Thailand you can get up later, have a nice relaxed breakfast and a dip in the pool first. We pick you up at midday from your hotel lobby and take you to the boat. We are using a comfortable speed boat thats been built for diving. The boat has tank racks behind each seat so you can sit down to get kitted up. The boat has a compressor so unlike with other speed boats there is no need for extra tanks stashed all over the boat we just refill the tanks so not even a need to move your equipment after each dive. 


The boat has a sun deck on the bow section to relax and catch some sun on the way out and a nice shaded area too. The boat is equipped with all the electronics and safety equipment that you find on western standard boats which makes this the safest speed boat on the island. 


The nice thing with this  Phuket diving trip is that for anyone who may get seasick on the bigger boats is this trip only takes 30 minutes and 10 of those is in the bay by the marina so there is not time for the rolling motion to have an effect.  Then on arrival at the island there is great snorkelling for the non divers and even plenty of time to go to the beach and relax and go swimming. 


Then after the second dive we have nice cruise back to Phuket late afternoon with the sun setting into the golden ocean and a nice glass of something fizzy and cold.  This is the ideal holiday dive trip. This will also be a great introduction for anyone wanting to discover scuba diving phuket as there will be not many phuket dive shops offering a trip like this. Its things like this that has made Thailand Divers such a popular phuket dive center over all these years. 



We are also going to give everyone a chance to experience scuba diving in a pool first. We will be having Phuket try dive days where people can just turn up and have our instructors give them basic training in the pool first and for those who love it can join us on the boat where they can really learn to dive Phuket in style. We will be starting with 2 or 3 days per week for the try dive with the afternoon trips running the following days to Racha Yai to practise what you learned in your Try dive Phuket session. 


Thailand phuket is an amazing place to learn to dive. This can now be done in the similan islands too. Thats right you can do your PADI open water course in the similan island national park.  Just check out the website for the many trips that allow you to combine your similan Thailand scuba diving adventure and PADI Open Water course all into one.
