Scuba Diving in Phuket Thailand - What you need to know before you go!!! (1 of 3)
This is the first video in a 3-part series covering all the basics of scuba diving in Phuket.
In this video we talk about what diving is like in Phuket, the types of diving you can do, what a typical diving day looks like and what you can expect during the dive (on the boat).
Also, we talk about the general locations of places to stay on Phuket. Where you stay dictates what time you can expect to start and end your day, and can be helpful info prior to booking any hotels or dive packages.
Hopefully this helps both experienced divers looking to try out a new location as well as brand new divers looking to expand their certifications. Even non-divers interested in getting certified can learn a lot of good information about Phuket diving!

Thailand Pottery Wreck Diving pt2
The Gulf of Thailand is littered with thousands of shipwrecks sunk during centuries of international trade between Siam and the rest of Asia. Many of these ships carried cargos manufactured in China, transhipped through Thailand that were loaded onto ships in Bangkoks busy commercial port. Pottery dating back to the Ming Dynasty and earlier litters the seabed. Diving these historic wrecks should only be conducted with the cooperation of the Thai Archeology department who, in conjunction with the Thai Navy, maintains a keen watch over the many historic wreck sites involved..

Thailand Cabin & Private Sailing Cruise Phuket to the Southern Islands on Catamaran Amadeus
Thailand's 48 foot catamaran Amadeus Cabin Charters November till April. See here the itinerary:
Day 1 – Transfer from the airport or from your hotel to Chalong, where the ship is moored. At 10:30 AM, you meet the captain, can board the catamaran Amadeus and settle into your cabin. After an orientation by the Captain, the Amadeus sets off at 11:30 AM.
In about 90 minutes, you will reach Koh Mai Thon Island, where you can enjoy the warm, clear waters of the Indian Ocean.
Then you will have your first taste of our chef’s delicious cooking. After lunch, we will set sail again, this time for Ko Phi Phi Don. Tonsai Bay, the main bay in Phi Phi island is not a quiet and tranquil place
There you can wander through the streets, have a drink at a bar, or relax with a massage. In the evening, enjoy a wonderful dinner aboard the ship. This will be our first overnight location.
If you prefer a more quiet bay, no problem.
Day 2 – Anyone feeling energetic to walk to the viewpoint? One needs to go early, before it gets hot and the steep steps will get you out of breath, but you will be rewarded with an amazing view of the two large Bays.
You will return to the yacht and breakfast will be waiting for you before we set sail for Kantiang Beach in Ko Lanta, This is one of the larger islands and it offers great beaches and the island is covered with natural forests inviting you for a scenic walk to a water fall. After you return, we sail a bit further South to a secluded anchorage and here we have a great small restaurant with excellent Thai cuisine. This will give you the chance to eat out for a change and experience real Thai hospitality. (The dinner and drinks on shore are not included in the price)
Day 3 – On this day, breakfast will be served while we sail. Our destination: Ko Muk Island.
Here you can visit the Emerald Cave, where a breath-taking surprise awaits you.
Once again, we will hoist our big sails, and with good wind, we should reach Ko Rok Nok Island in about two hours. This area is world-famous for its snorkeling and diving, and it boasts the most beautiful beach of the Andaman Sea.
The water is crystal clear, and the range of sea life in the Coral Sea will amaze you. In the evening, we’ll set up a barbecue on the white sand, which you can enjoy under a beautiful sunset.
Day 4 – You really won’t want to leave right away. Before we set off, make sure to take one last dip in this gorgeous natural setting.
On the way to Ko Phi Phi Leh, we will stop for more snorkeling at Ko Ha. You might be able to catch some tuna for very fresh sashimi along the way.
Just in time for a spectacular sunset, we arrive at Maya Bay. This is where the film “The Beach” was shot. The bay’s main beach is closed at the moment to give the reef a chance to recover from over tourism, but we are still able to pick up a mooring and stay at this spectacular place for the night.
Day 5 – At seven in the morning, the world is just waking up. Enjoy a fresh cup of coffee as you contemplate the morning light in Maya Bay. We depart before breakfast to another secluded place on the West coast of Phi Phi Don, enjoy the snorkeling and breakfast there and you can try the SUP or grab a kayak to paddle to the beach.
Later we set sail and depart for Ko Racha Yai, with the hope to spot some bottle nose dolphins which are regulars in that area. Again, the waters there are crystal clear inviting you for a swim and snorkel. We have several anchorages to choose from, all of them feature stunning beaches.
Day 6 – After breakfast, the ship will take you back to Phuket’s Chalong Bay. We will arrive around noon, and you will disembark with unforgettable memories. Of course, we will make sure get you to the airport on time, or take you to your hotel.
Snorkelling @ Khai Islands Phuket Thailand 07042012
Full day trip snorkelling at Khai Islands (made up of three tiny islands). The trip is very family orientated with fishes swimming up very close to the shores. Lots of sea urchins in between the rocks to be aware of! Very touristy sites.
