Shallow waters of vivid turquoise, spectacular reefs with underwater rock structures as well as a unique and diverse marine life makes Phuket one of the 10 best diving destinations across the globe. The major dive sites in and around Phuket are the Phi Phi Islands, Koh Raja, Shark Point and the Similan Islands.
The Similan Islands are perfect for beginners and experts alike with crystal clear waters up to depths of around 40 meters. In addition to a rich assortment of sea cucumbers, sea urchins, butterfly fish, parrotfish and manta rays, you might even be lucky enough to spot the world’s largest fish species – the whale shark – a harmless plankton-eating beauty which is a rare sight indeed. The stunningly clear waters of Phuket with its wealth of aquatic marine life will be an utter source of delight for underwater photographers and naturalists alike. A must do while here in Phuket.
