Daily Phuket Dive Tour Itinerary

A Phuket dive tour may run a little differently than what you’ve experienced in other destinations. While some travelers prefer to go with the flow, others like to plan their day and fit in additional activities. To help, we’ve provided a Sample Day Trip Itinerary below. Please note that times are approximate and may vary depending on conditions, but this will give you a clear idea of how our day trips generally unfold.

It’s Not Set In Stone

Our sample Phuket dive tour itinerary is usually very close to the real thing. However, please keep in mind that weather, currents, group dynamics, and other external factors can affect both travel and dive times. We also provide convenient hotel pick-up and drop-off, but local traffic can sometimes cause delays. For this reason, we recommend planning your evening activities with some flexibility.

This also applies to your no-fly time after diving. Because our schedule may occasionally run later than expected, we advise adding a extra hour or two to the minimum 18-hour surface interval before flying. Our recommendation would be a late afternoon flight the day after scuba diving, which would likely give you closer to the more conservative 24 hour surface interval. This ensures both your safety and peace of mind when planning onward travel.

How Do I Minimise The Risk Of A Delay?

As mentioned before, traffic is the most likely thing to cause a delay. Staying close to where our boat departs from will go a long way to reduce the risk. Kata, Rawai, Nai Harn and Chalong are all good choices. The further north on Phuket that you stay the greater influence traffic will have. The main thing that divers and groups can do to reduce the risk of delays is be ready for the pick up. Probably the biggest reason for delay is guests not waking up in time so please try to be punctual.

So below is an example of one of our three different tour itineraries that we offer. To find out more about each trip you can go to our dedicated scuba diving day trip pages.

Artificial Reefs At Racha Yai

Many dive sites in Phuket are home to artificial reefs, an initiative that has been ongoing for many years and definitely pays off. Racha Yai was severely affected by coral bleaching in 2010. A huge storm a few years later destroyed what little was left of the coral. A couple of wrecks and a maze of cubes were sunk to attract some of the marine life back. These numerous cubes, wrecks, reef balls, statues and even a scooter have helped the [...]

staying hydrated when scuba diving Scuba Diving Health

Dehydration And Scuba Diving

We as any good dive boat should provide water free of charge on our day trip tours but even though it's free when we calculate the guest to water consumption ratio we find you're coming up well short on what you should be drinking. This has to change. Dehydration in scuba diving can make you more susceptible to decompression sickness. It's not the most common cause but staying hydrated is good practice for diving health. Roughly 2L per per [...]
