Local Dive Thailand now owned and operated by Aussie Divers Phuket
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. We don’t pack our boat to the limit, ensuring our guests have plenty of space above and below water. Phuket makes the diving side simple for us to do with incredible diversity from macro critters that are frequently found on our dive sites to 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!

Diving in Phuket is always fun, we are simply referring to any dive that is not a training dive although they're mostly fun too! So a certified PADI Open Water diver who books a Phi Phi Island day trip tour with Local Dive Thailand is a fun diver. On one of our day trip diving tours you can do up to 3 fun dives that day so in this case it would be two at Phi Phi and one on the journey home at Shark Point. Although we're a PADI 5* dive cent [...]

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 [...]

Scuba Diving For Beginners Getting your dive computer settings right may sound obvious but on a few occasions we've had to stop guests from diving. We really, really don't like to do this but if during or after a dive your dive computer goes into error mode then we have no choice. It's simply not safe. On most of the rare occasions that this has happened, it's a simple matter of guests having their dive computer set up incorrectly. We often get asked by guests to h [...]
