Local Dive Thailand Shop Now In Patong

Visit Our new Dive Shop In Patong

Patong remains the busiest beach resort in Phuket. Many of our dive guests choose to stay in this popular area of the island. We’ve now opened a shop on the beach front, divers can now drop by and meet Simon to finalise their diving plans.

*Unfortunately we’ve had to temporarily close our dive shop in Patong on the beach road. You can contact our main Rawai office via telephone or email. If you’re in Patong and would like to speak to us face to face, visit Nan at the Nice Hotel.

It’s only a small shop but it’s in a very convenient location. Sandwiched between a Starbucks and McDonalds just outside the Baanthai Beach Resort on Beach Rd. Just a stones throw from the famous/infamous Bangla Rd party strip. Our main office and centre of operations remains in close proximity to the boat departure point at Chalong.

All transfers from Patong for fun divers and students are included in our prices. So if you want to stay close to the amenities at Patong but still enjoy your scuba diving, it won’t cost you any extra and now you have the option to speak to our team in person or even settle your bill before stepping on-board MV Kebsup.

So come in, meet the crew and start your Phuket scuba diving adventure with the local experts

By Justin Hartrey

I've been enjoying the incredible marine life in our oceans for over 25 years. 13 years ago I became a PADI professional in Phuket, hoping to introduce as many people as possible to the incredible beauty of the seas.

Having been fortunate enough to dive all over south east and especially Thailand, I enjoy sharing my diving experiences and passion on this blog.

Originally from Bristol in the UK, I swapped the frigid waters of the North Atlantic for the warm tropical seas around Thailand and can confidently say that I wouldn't go back

A Great Days Diving At Phi Phi And Shark Point

Thankfully there was no wind or waves on our way to divingPhi Phi and Shark Point. Although grey and overcast, a comfortable journey ensued with the hope of better conditions under the waves than we had above. We weren't to be disappointed. Visibility in the bay at Koh Bida Nok was excellent. A quick swim up into the shallows brought a brief glimpse of a couple of blacktip reef sharks cruising around in less than 3m of water. Heading deepe [...]

Are PADI And SSI Interchangeable?

The short answer is absolutely you can dive with a PADI dive shop if you're certified from lots of different agencies. We're all underwater brothers and sisters. So as long as you have proof of certification then you can dive at almost any location with anybody. In truth there is very little difference between any of the agencies. We all have to follow the same basic standards as set by the WRSTC (World Recreational Scuba Training Coun [...]
