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!

The way it works i [...]

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 [...]

Rare & Peculiar Critters These bizarre little creatures are on every Phuket diving site and most stand out like a sore thumb. It's not an animal that Phuket is renowned for so if you ask your guide what the sluggy looking thing that they pointed out was you may get nudibranch as an answer and if you question further you'll run into some well rehearsed diversion tactics. To be fair to us there are so many species it would be impossible to know them all, add to that [...]

Scuba Diving Health Fortunately throughout the Phuket diving high season we're blessed with generally flat seas. Around the beginning of May we start to get a swell come in from the open ocean. Although for most this has little impact on your dive day, for those who get seasick it can be horrible but there are ways to avoid it. Not going to go too far into the science but essentially your brain is being confused. With intentional movement (walking, runnin [...]
