Phuket, A Great Diving Destination

In Phuket diving is as good as just about anywhere else in the world. The island has long been considered one of the world’s best scuba diving destinations, with its opportunities for both experienced divers and beginners. One appeal is the pleasant year round temperature of the water; with temperatures in the 80s all year, divers don’t need to wear bulky and uncomfortable wetsuits. Diving in Phuket offers the chance to explore pristine coral reefs in beautiful turquoise water, and see a variety of marine life, including whale sharks and manta rays. Many local diving centers offer day trips as well as diving tours in which you live on board a boat for a few days. Phuket also offers plenty to see and do for those who need a break from diving. The island is known for its stunning beaches, and outdoor activities including hiking, climbing, bungee jumping, ATV riding and parasailing.
