Koh Racha Yai Island is a popular site among divers due to the clear visibility ( an average of 15 - 30 meters) all year round.
Consisting mostly of hard coral sloping reefs with a flat bottom covered with white sand, the site is sheltered inside the bay and is thus free from strong currents.diving phuket thailand
This combination makes Koh Racha Yai Island an ideal place for beginners and infrequent divers.
There are also deeper reefs, which are suitable for more experienced divers.
Like all dive sites in Phuket we are lucky to have a constant water temperature of 29C / 84F.
Koh Racha Yai is under one hour via Thailand Divers fast day trip boat.

Koh Racha Noi island is two hours away from Phuket island by our day trip boat, and well worth the journey.
This is the best island if you are interested in seeing the large schools of fish as well as sharks and manta rays.
At Koh Racha Noi you have the best chance of all dive sites to encounter the magical manta rays which will grow to an impressive 6 meter span.
Also keep an eye out in the blue for the white tip and black tip reef sharks. These are the quietest dive sites in the Phuket area due mainly to the distance from the port, so normally it will only be our day trip boat on the island for the day.

Phi Phi Islands are located 2 hours East of Phuket, one of the most talked about locations in Southern Thailand.
The bright turquoise of the water contrasting with the rich hues of the vertically rising limestone cliffs makes for an unforgettable first impression.
There are two islands, Phi Phi Don and Phi Phi Leh. The larger and inhabited, Phi Phi Don attracts hundreds of visitors to stay on its lovely shores.
There are also two smaller islands south called Koh Bida Nok and Koh Bida Nai which we also dive on from time to time.
The great thing about Phi Phi is not only the amazing beauty below the water but also the stunning scenery about the water.
This is one place not miss on your holiday to Phuket.

1: No over crowding.
This is guaranteed since we are not a boat share company like most others in Phuket.
This means that you can be assured that there is no over-crowding and no confusion with the staff as all the guides / instructors are permant staff of Thailand Divers.
The day trip boat has a legal capacity of 45 people but we never place more than 25 people on the boat per day so there is lots of room for kitting up on the dive platform and space to relax between dives.
2: 100% saftey record:
Since we are 100% British owned and managed dive company safety is our main concern.
3: Well maintained and modern rental scuba diving equipment.
So when you use our rental scuba diving gear you can be assured that you will have modern safe dive equipment. We use Scuba Pro or Aqualung equipment.
4: Free insurance for everyone: Just in case.
Included in every dive course or day trip is insurance for diving related accidents to a value of 100,000 Baht per person.
5: Emergency Oxygen kits and first aid on board.
In case of an accident all the staff at Thailand Divers are first aid and oxygen admistrators and all saftey equipment is onboard.
6: First to arrive at the dive sites.
Since the boat has a complete re-fit every low season the day trip boat is the fastest day trip boat meaning we are already diving when the other are still on there way and then a much better chance of seeing the larger animals before the other scare them away.
Plus you get back to your hotel at a sensible hour after a 3 dive day trip giving you lots of time to enjoy the evening entertainment of Phuket.
7: Fantastic food.
Breakfast and Lunch is freshly cooked for you each day. Snacks and tropical fruit is available all day and special dietary requirements can be catered for.
8: Small dive groups:
Our maximum group size is one instructor to 6 divers but generally we will keep the group to one instructor to 4 divers. The groups are split depending on the divers experience so the depth limitations are kept for each typr of diver. As there is nothing worse that being in a group with newly qualified divers and going to maximum depth of 18 meters when you are a Advanced Open Water diver who can go to 30 meters.
9: No hidden extra costs.
All of our day trips and diving courses are fully inclusive:
7.30am:We come and collect you from your hotel lobby and transfer you by one of our air-conditioned mini buses to our day trip diving boat.
Your Divemaster will be waiting for you on the boat, and after a short briefing on the boat and the facilities on-board it is time for some breakfast which will be freshly prepared for you by the boat crew.
Whilst making our way to the dive site, you will have an hour or so with your Divemaster to go though the safety procedures and checks before diving and during diving and what we are likely to see and what to keep an eye out for.
Once we have arrived at the dive sites now it is time to get the scuba gear on, do a buddy check and now you are ready to go scuba diving on one of the best places in the world.
You are going to be amazed at what you can see down there; Corals soft and hard, millions of tropical fish and much, much more.
After an hour or so relaxing or snorkeling then it is time for the second dive of the day in a different location.
Once you are back on board after the second dive a hot buffet lunch will be served by the boat crew and this gives you time to relax with your Divemaster and discuss what you have seen on the dive with some fish identification books which are on board.
After an hour and a half it is time to gear up for the last time and of we go for the final dive of the day.
All dives are no decompression dives to a maximum time of 50 minutes or low on air, and then a mandatory safety stop at 5 meters for 3 minutes.
Once back on board after the dive we make our way back to the port giving you time to discuss the dive with your buddy's and the divemaster. We will return you to your hotel around 5pm.
