Local Dive Thailand Shop Now In Patong

Visit Our new Dive Shop In Patong

Patong remains the busiest beach resort in Phuket. Many of our dive guests choose to stay in this popular area of the island. We’ve now opened a shop on the beach front, divers can now drop by and meet Simon to finalise their diving plans.

*Unfortunately we’ve had to temporarily close our dive shop in Patong on the beach road. You can contact our main Rawai office via telephone or email. If you’re in Patong and would like to speak to us face to face, visit Nan at the Nice Hotel.

It’s only a small shop but it’s in a very convenient location. Sandwiched between a Starbucks and McDonalds just outside the Baanthai Beach Resort on Beach Rd. Just a stones throw from the famous/infamous Bangla Rd party strip. Our main office and centre of operations remains in close proximity to the boat departure point at Chalong.

All transfers from Patong for fun divers and students are included in our prices. So if you want to stay close to the amenities at Patong but still enjoy your scuba diving, it won’t cost you any extra and now you have the option to speak to our team in person or even settle your bill before stepping on-board MV Kebsup.

cuttlefish common sightings in phuket scuba diving Rare & Peculiar Critters

Cuttlefish – Cross Dressing Light Bending Camouflage Kings

Cuttlefish belong the to the mollusc family and look like something between an octopus and a squid. Unlike most molluscs, the cephalopod branch which includes cuttlefish, squid and octopus are fairly smart. Certainly compared to their simpleton slug cousins but as with all geeks there comes weirdness - lots of weirdness. Let's get the ball rolling with this cardiovascular indulgence. Cuttlefish have three hearts, one each for their two [...]

blacktip reef shark at koh bid nok Rare & Peculiar Critters

Blacktip Reef Sharks

Blacktip reef sharks are a very frequent sighting on our Phi Phi diving tour, often with many sharks in your field of vision.

We generally schedule Koh Bida Nok for our first dive on the trip so blacktip reef sharks are one of the first animals you'll see. A great start to your days diving.

the no fog cressi diving mask Equipment We Like

Cressi A1 No Fog Diving Mask

There's nothing worse in diving than a foggy mask, well maybe running out of air, triggerfish, getting stung, putting on a cold wet wetsuit, DCS etc. After all we go diving to look at and explore the incredibly beautiful underwater world. Not many masks come out of the box completely fog free but the Cressi A1 does. You don't have to treat the mask at all. If you do, you may well damage the coating. Not only is it a no fog diving mask but [...]
