DIVE DESTINATION: ANDAMAN SEA, SOUTHWEST THAILAND

The start off point for both diving and snorkelling in Phuket Province in Khao Lak which is some 45 minutes drive from Phuket. The snorkeling here is particularly spectacular as the coral reefs are some of the most colourful around.
The Andaman Sea is admittedly the more dazzling of the two destinations as it holds some of the best coral formations and reefs as well as ocean drops and submerged pinnacles. Within the Andaman area where Phuket is located, popular dive sites are Phang-nga Bay, Krabi, Phi Phi Island, Ko Lanta and the Similan Islands.
At both locations, not only will you have a great time diving, but just exploring the archipelago itself is already an adventure. Diverse in Thailand can expect to see Nurse Sharks, the Hawks Bill Turtle, Anemone Fish (clown Fish), Barracuda, Scorpion fish, Manta Rays, the legendary Whale Shark and a large array of other marine life. Start your dive experience in Thailand and create your own personal memories now!
