Scuba diving runs in our blood at Local Dive Thailand. We want it to run in yours as well. That is why we work so diligently toward ensuring your day diving with us is unforgettable. Thankfully Phuket makes that simple for us to do with the high quality of macro critters that are frequently found on our dive sites and the large pelagic marine animals that make regular guest visits while we are diving, like Whale Sharks and even Minky Whales. If you are a certified scuba diver you’d be crazy not to join us for some fun diving and see just what local knowledge truly means when it comes to diving Thailand and Phuket’s most famed dive sites!
We offer a variety of PADI dive courses, fun diving, snorkeling, free diving and much more!

Phuket diving is always fun, we are simply referring to any dive that is not a training or certification dive. So a certified PADI Open Water diver who books a Phi Phi Island day trip tour with Local Dive Thailand, is a fun diver and on one of our day trip diving tours can do up to 3 fun dives that day so in this case it would be 2 at Phi Phi and one on the return journey home at Shark Point or Anemone Reef, depending on conditions. So if [...]

A Phuket private diving tour is sometimes the only way to beat the crowds. We try our very best on our own very comfortable dive boat MV Kebsup. It's not always possible so occasionally it can feel a little crowded. Most divers enjoy the opportunity to meet fellow like minded people but some don't. For those who're not quite as gregarious as others then you can charter your own speedboat. A private boat charter is the only way to ensure yo [...]
