Program

We meet at the beach, get a brief orientation, and then get ready to head out to the sea. Kata Beach dives involve about 5 min surface swimming to the reef.

Beach dives in Phuket are relatively easy with a max depth of 10-12 meters. The bottom time is maximum of 60 minutes/dive.

The underwater scenery is filled with coral and rock formations. There are countless reef fish amongst the corals, schools of juvenile barracudas and snappers hang in the blue. There’s a chance to spot a green turtle, eagle ray, or the mimic octopus.

Underwater photographers and macro enthusiasts can observe numerous tiny organisms without any rush.

There are submerged concrete blocks at Kata to create artificial reefs. Many fish take shelter in and around them, so we often swim there to look for special findings. Their residents:  giant pufferfish, batfish, snappers, groupers, cuttlefish and colorful nudibranchs.

Night dives are also available for certified divers at Kata Beach. Highlights: squids, cuttlefish, barracudas, crustaceans, phytoplankton. Briefing and equipment setup at  18:30, night dive starts at 7 PM.

All beach diving locations offer beautiful surroundings and are perfect for non diver family members as well.

About the Dive Sites

Racha Yai Island is located 20 km south of Phuket and is about an hour’s boat ride from the pier. The eight dive sites around the island are perfect for beginners, but there are also attractions for advanced divers, too.

On its eastern side, you’ll find five sandy bays breaking up the rocky coastline where most dives take place. Various-sized rocks and coral pieces are scattered on the white sandy slopes, and this is where most marine life congregates.

Among the hard corals, you’ll find numerous giant clams, sea stars, sea urchins and countless tiny critters. Pipefish, shrimps, moray eels, octopuses, and cuttlefish hide among the corals. In the bays, barracudas and tuna schools, along with colorful reef fish, can be spotted.

Three shipwrecks can be found around the island at depths of 18-25 meters, offering attractions for advanced divers. In recent years, artificial reefs have been created around the island, providing shelter for many fish species.

The western side of the island features two beautiful bays, where you’ll also find easier dive sites and an underwater sculpture park. Life-sized elephant statues, an underwater temple, artificial reef and natural rock coral formations alternate. The seabed here is sandy, and visibility ranges from 15-25 meters.

The Racha Yai  diving trip is available  year-round, and tours depart daily.

About The Dive Sites

Racha Noi Island is located 32 km south of Phuket, which takes about 2 hours by dive boats.

Underwater environment of the two Racha Islands is quite similar. East side offers white sandy slopes dotted with rock and coral formations. West side features more rugged dive sites with swim-throughs between granite rocks and boulders.

The East side of the islands is teeming with smaller reef fish like parrotfish, pufferfish, blue-spotted rays, and massive schools of fish. Occasionally, you may even spot turtles and leopard sharks.

Manta rays also inhabit the waters around the islands, although encounters with them are rare. Between the islands we encounter whales and dolphin families occasionally, you may observe them from the boat.

During the program, you can enjoy two dives at Racha Noi and one at Racha Yai Island. Non-divers won’t be bored either, as the shallow waters are full of colorful fish, and the tour offers excellent opportunities for snorkeling and Discover Scuba Diving, too.

About The Dive Sites

The Phi Phi Islands National Park is one of the most popular destinations for daily boat dive trips. As you approach the two islands, Phi Phi Don and Phi Phi Lei, their pristine cliffs hint at the extraordinary place you’re about to visit.

There’s an abundance of dive sites, with some of the most beautiful ones located around the Bida Islands and along the walls of Phi Phi Lei. Immerse yourself in hard and soft coral reefs, rocky walls, swim-throughs and sandy slopes.

The marine life is incredibly diverse: large schools of fish, barracuda, tuna, and mackerel patrol the blue.

Furthermore, we often encounter leopard or nurse sharks and even turtles during the dives. There’s even a chance for a magical encounter with a whale shark.

For enthusiasts of macro marine life: pipefish, various nudibranchs, and unique shrimp provide exceptional sights.

During the tour, you’ll have the opportunity to make two dives in the Phi Phi National Park area and once closer to Phuket, usually at Shark Point or Koh Doc Mai Island.

The National Park is open year-round and we have trips every day.

Key Information

Koh Bon Island is located within the Similan National Park. This tour is mainly recommended for advanced/experienced divers. Generally good visibility, often strong current and greater depths and encounters with large marine life characterize this site. Open Water Divers with less than 10 logged dives may join the trip with a private dive guide only or do the PADI Deep Adventure dive on the tour. Trial dives are not possible here.

This tour is available from October 15 to May 15, every Wednesday and Sunday.

It’s a longer day, starting around 6 AM from the resorts and returning to your accommodation around 7 PM. Please see the schedule below.

About the Dive Sites

The Western Ridge is the most popular dive site at Koh Bon Island. The main attractions are the oceanic manta rays and occasional passing of reef or leopard sharks. The luckiest divers may spot a whale shark or other pelagic on this site. The first dive usually starts from the bay and heads to the ridge.

Around the ridge, at depths of 10-30 meters, the current is usually stronger, which is why mantas are often seen here. While manta encounters are not guaranteed, when present, they are likely to appear in this area. These mantas can grow up to 6-7 meters and are generally unbothered by the presence of divers. If there are no mantas, the reef’s marine life is impressive, including schools of mackerel and snapper, octopuses, reef sharks, and Napoleon wrasses.

The second dive usually begins from the north and also ends in the vicinity of the western ridge. This allows for an equal chance of a once-in-a-lifetime manta experience on both dives.
