Scuba diving runs in our blood here 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, 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 y [...]

Phuket is a busy diving destination and trying to avoid the crowds can be difficult. We try our very best on our own very comfortable dive boat MV Kebsup. We can't always do it 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 a others then you can charter your own speedboat. A private speedboat charter is the only way t [...]

Amazing Local Dives Phuket is not well known for wreck diving but we do have a few and some are very good. In one bay at Racha Yai we have 5! Ok, we're using the term wreck a little cheaply for a couple of them but they were boats and now they're on the ocean floor so it's a wreck. Our premier wreck for diving in Phuket. It's the oldest of our recreational diving wrecks and very much worth a visit for all experienced divers. The bottom of the wreck is ove [...]
