Local
and live-aboard diving from Phuket, Thailand offers
some of the best diving in the world. Siam Dive
n' Sail offers many choices of Phuket diving in
different price ranges, length of trips, and levels
of comfort. The boats dive in Thailand (Similan,
Hin Daeng, Richelieu Rock, Surin) and Burma (the
Mergui Archipelago and Burma Banks). Two of the
boats also operate in Indonesia during Phuket's
off season (June to September).
Liveaboard Diving
Liveaboard dive boats give you a far wider range
of destinations than day trips can offer since on
this type of vessel, and with a few days of time,
we can extend our range to the northwest and south.
The diving quality is decidedly world-class, and
people travel from all over the world to experience
it often booking months or years in advance.
Trip length of liveaboards typically range from
three-days up to ten days–sometimes longer–and most
boats depart in the afternoon or evening as the
distances involved require overnight travel. This
puts you in the water the following morning. They
generally return in the evening or early in the
morning, depending on the boat's preference.
Day Trips
Day trips are available to six different areas surrounding
Phuket. The boats depart at approximately 7:30 AM,
return at 4:00 PM and usually include hotel transfers,
a divemaster or instructor, tanks, weights, and
belts, lunch, and two to three dives--depending
on the day, the destination, and the boat. There
are also limited half-day trips available. See below.
Prices range from $50 to $120 US, plus gear rental
at about $20 US per day if required. Just a note:
rental gear is well maintained and in very good
shape here in Phuket, and a great value at about
$20 per day depending on what you need.
Two-day trips are also available to the Phi Phi
Islands on Fridays and Saturdays. These trips include
7-dives, hotel accommodation, and meals. It's like
a mini-liveaboard and is advantages due to the distance
to Phi Phi from Phuket (about 28 NM or 50 KM). Click
here or use the link above for more information.
One-day trips to the Similan Islands are available
everyday, weather permitting. You are transferred
by hydrofoil to the Similan Islands for two dives
from a diving platform there. The trip is long,
over 60 nautical miles from Patong bay. We still
recommend liveaboard trips for the best diving but
for those of you who don't have the time, this is
an alternative.
