(Click here to learn about Liveaboards)

The Andaman Sea has long been recognized as the regional center for daytrip scuba diving and snorkeling.

Both beginners and experienced divers enjoy the aquarium style underwater scenery while diving at the local Khao Lak, Phuket & Phi Phi world class dive sites. The 85 meter long "King Cruiser Ferry" wreck close
to "Anemone Reef'" and the exciting "Shark Point" that is named after the harmless Leopard Sharks who bask on the sandy bottom are just a few of the exciting locations visited by the boats departing daily from Chalong Bay in Phuket. Wall diving, drift diving, deep diving, night and some fantastic opportunities for normal and macro underwater photography are available in the area.

Daytrip scuba diving from Khao Lak, Phuket, the Phi Phi and the Racha Islands dive sites operate throughout the year offering a choice of  2, 3 or 4 dives per day for a single day's diving and many overnight trips are available.

The size of the average dive boat is about 22 meters in length and they are designed to carry divers safely and comfortably to the local dive sites with full meals served on board depending on the number of dives offered during the day.

Departures are generally early in the mornings however now there are options available that allow for guests to sleep in and enjoy the hotel buffet breakfasts and do their diving from small high speed boats with fewer divers in the groups then the larger boats.
