Daytrip Dive Sites Around Phuket
Located a short distance north of Shark Point, Anemone Reef is another densely packed ecosystem and many dive operators offer day trips that cover both sites. Obviously, Anemone Reef sports thousands of anemones and anemone fish, but it also hosts its share of leopard sharks as well as a huge population of spectacular lionfish. Read More...
The King Cruiser was a ferry boat that plied the route between Phi Phi and Phuket. Then one fine day with no wind, no waves and no inclement weather it inexplicably sunk and created a perfect wreck dive. Resting in about 32 metres of water, the wreck has attracted quite a bit of marine life since it went down in 1997 and is now a bustling artificial reef. Read More...
An island located one hour east of Phuket. A walldive where you can spot everything, however look especially for the sea horse hanging on to the gorgonias and the many species of moray eels peeking out from their cavities. Read More...

A typical dive is a gentle drift along a sloping rocky face that is sprinkled with hard coral forests of many, many varieties. Read More...
Racha Noi is the more isolated of the two islands and is a popular dive-site for more experienced divers, as the depths are generally greater and the currents frequently stronger than at its sister island to the North. You will encounter huge underwater boulders that offer a good chance to see manta rays and whale sharks. Read More...
So named for the large numbers of docile leopard sharks that can be found around its base, shark point is a lovely dive site that absolutely teems with life.
