No boat.No shop. Just the sea.
PhuketScuba is an independent guide. We don't run trips or sell tanks — we've just logged a lot of dives out of Chalong and Khao Lak and wanted a site that showed the Andaman the way it feels.
How we pick. Dive sites go on the map when we've dived them in more than one season. Gear goes in the catalog when it has survived a liveaboard week. Trips are listed when the operator has a real safety record and a real boat.
How we're paid. Gear links go to Suunto and Scuba.com; bookings go through Divebooker and PADI Travel. All four pay us a commission on sales at no cost to you. It never changes what we recommend — a bad regulator is a bad regulator.
Season. Phuket dives year-round; the Similan and Surin national parks open 15 October to 15 May. The best month is March. The second best is any other.
