Scuba diving in Phuket is always a rewarding experience. When we say ‘fun diving,’ we simply mean any certified dive that isn’t part of a training course—though training dives are plenty of fun too! For example, a certified PADI Open Water diver joining our Phi Phi Island day trip would be considered a fun diver. On these trips, you can enjoy up to three dives in a single day, typically two at Phi Phi and one on the way home at Shark [...]

Renting scuba diving equipment on one of our Phuket diving day trip tours couldn't be easier. So if you're not travelling with your own equipment then we can help you out. Our prices for rental equipment are surprisingly cheap. Equipment quality is great so you may consider leaving your own at home. Scuba equipment can be quite heavy and takes a lot of room so if you're just doing a few casual days diving it may be more cost effective to leav [...]

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 [...]

Photo Tips & Tricks Light and diving is a key topic in various PADI courses. Advanced Open Water Diver, Deep Diver and Underwater Digital Photographer all cover light and diving. The concept is quite easy to grasp as your visual experience while diving is directly linked to it. In a nutshell, light is affected by the distance it travels underwater (depth and subject distance) and topside conditions (time of day, weather and surface conditions). So it is all a [...]
