Phuket Diving Day Tour Packages

How your day out unfolds:

We offer 3-tank dive boat trips from Chalong Bay in Phuket, or Tap Lamu in Khao Lak. Breakfast, lunch and refreshments (drinks, tea and coffee) are served during the trips. The boat takes a maximum of 25 divers, and qualified divemasters are provided for every 4 divers.

Please wait for your pick up in your hotel reception area at 07:00 hrs (pick up from certain areas can be earlier); the boat departs at 08:00 hrs and returns around 18:00 hrs, but these times do vary depending on sites visited and the number of dives in the day. Boat journey times range from 1 to 3 hours.

We offer scuba trips on only the best dive boats available in Phuket, both in terms of comfort and service. They share some similar facilities - 20+ metre wood hull, steel ladders on the dive platform, kit up area, showers, toilets and rinse tanks, indoor saloon, sundeck and shaded area. All the boats carry emergency oxygen, MFA kits, evacuation procedures, ship-to-shore radio and mobile phone contact.

TESTIMONIALS

"Mood taught a PADI course for our 11 year old son, he was so excellent, so kind, patient and knowledgeable. He also helped us with our dives to make it a truly amazing experience " - Lisa Gibson, China, 14 February 2024 ...

"The dive company (Local Dive Thailand) was very good with an excellent crew. I was paired with two different guides (Tanny and Mood) who were fantastic. What I was not prepared for was the nature of the operation with several different companies using the same boat each day. The vessel was large enough to accommodate everyone, but we ended up with over 30 divers entering the water at any given time. I do not enjoy this type of set up.
I was able to chat online with someone at Dive The World to set up my dive days and sites which was helpful since I had never before been to Thailand." - Kimberly R Abella-Cree, United States, 24 October 2023 ...

"I was a last minute booker for the dive but they were very accommodating and able to have equipment on hand in my size. They were clear and precise about the rules and the plan of the day even when the weather got bad we were still able to get all 3 dives in. The punctuality of early morning pickup, everything was clear and concise, breakfast and lunch were amazing and my dive guide was freaking awesome! Keep doing what you're doing it all works great; don't change a thing!" - Larry D.E McGhee II, United States, 26 September 2023 ...

"The thing that I like about Dive The World Thailand is that you can book on several different boats for day trips making the whole schedule more flexible." - Randy Brintnell, Hanoi, Vietnam, 12 March 2008 ... -- , .
