Deciding what kind of activities we want to do when
we decide on a trip to an exotic tropical island like
Phuket is one thing, but we also must consider our preconceptions
of the destination as well. It’s human nature to

We all agree Phuket is becoming busier and busier and

first, and then take the child snorkelling. Once she
has turned eight years kids can try scuba diving in
the pool or the shallow ocean, begin to learn skills
and become comfortable with the equipment. Read

Divers around the world know Phuket as the place to
come in Thailand for world-class diving. Honestly, Phuket–and
Khao Lak up the coast are the only destinations in Thailand
which offer good enough diving to entice people to fly
halfway around the world. We’re the gateway to
the Andaman Sea, home to thousands of kilometres of
coral reef, millions of fish, and hundreds of perfect
beaches. Read more... |
