Fun Diving In Phuket With Local Dive Thailand
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. 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 2 at Phi Phi and one on the return journey home at Shark Point.
Although we’re a PADI 5* dive center, divers from any agency – SSI, TDI, CMAS, BSAC etc are most welcome to join any trip. We even have special deals for people wishing to do multiple day trip tours. You can see the full range of dive sites Phuket has to offer with our expert local guides!

Safety First
Occasionally the dive sites may change at the discretion of the tour leader. He or She will decide based on currents, weather conditions and customer requirements the best dive sites to do that day.
For example the Phi Phi Island day trip tour, we do two dives at Phi Phi, maybe Turtle Rock & Koh Bida Nok are planned. If upon arrival there are 5 other dive boats at Turtle Rock, the tour leader may move the dive site to Palong Wall for safety and enjoy-ability of the dive. Then onto Koh Bida Nok, and on the way back Shark Point. Changes in the day trips dive sites are rare, but can happen so please be considerate and understanding that this was done with the best intentions.

Equipment RentalWhy Get Certified
PADI Course being taught on the M/V Kepsub - Local Dive thailand
Certified scuba divers enjoy lower prices for day trip diving and fun diving than those doing a Discover Scuba Dive or a PADI course. This holds true all over the world, not just in Phuket or Thailand, it's a rather good reason to get certified if you are not already, or to improve your certification level, allowing you to dive deeper and potentially for longer!
If you are not a certified scuba diver, you have some options, you can do a Discover Scuba Dive as an introduction to the underwater world and to see if you enjoy diving, or you can do your PADI Open Water certification and become a certified diver.
