Diving in South-East Thailand, near Phuket and Krabi

Thailand is a wonderful country with some very good diving. Phuket and Krabi lie in the west next to the Andaman Sea, where the best diving in Thailand is to be found. October to April is the best time to visit this part of Thailand. Heavy rainfall hits the Andaman coast in May and continues until September. During this time, therefore, the Gulf of Thailand to the east might be a better dive destination. But still, even then the Andaman Sea often has the better visibility and coral. With an average sea temperature of 26 degrees, the water is nice as well.

Phuket is a large island connected with the mainland by a bridge in the north. It is tourist destination number one and therefore has it all. It has the cheap shabby cottages and the luxury expensive hotels. It has the nightlife, the good restaurants, the beach and of course the diving. Dive sites near Phuket as well as the offshore reefs are excellent, but the latter have in general a slightly higher visibility.
