Diving Trips 2011-2012

PHUKET | RAYA YAI | KHAO LAK | KRABI | KOH LANTA

On all our daytrips we will pick you up from your hotel in the morning and if needed you can rent all the dive equipment from us. We only use 1st class ScubaPro regulators and BCDs. Water temperature is year around 28-30 degrees celcius and you can rent a 3mm shorty wetsuit from us as well.

Upon arrival to the dive site our professional guides give you a thorough dive briefing where entries, exits, dive plans and equipment checks are all explained to you very carefully. The dive itself is done in a small group lead by our Divemaster or if you are already an experience diver you may want to dive independent with your buddy.

Depending on the trip lunch is eaten either onboard or at the beach of one of the beautiful islands. After a short rest we will head for the 2nd dive. On some trips there is also a 3rd dive that will be done after enjoying some snacks on the boat.

These programs work as a guideline and changes to dive destinations or boats may come due to weather or current conditions. We also notice the special requests from groups and try to always choose the dive sites that the ones who have been diving with us already few trips gets to a new dive site.

Snorkelers are also welcome to our trips and they have a chance to spend a nice day on the sea, enjoy the sun, swim, snorkel and see the beautiful coral reefs as well.

DIVING AT RAYA YAI ISLAND

On Raya Yai Island we can offer you top quality diving in a non-crowded and relaxed atmosphere. We avoid big boats, crowded reefs and always dive in small groups. Our advantage is that we are located right beside all the best dive sites and you don't have to spend half of your day traveling to get to the reefs. If you want to go for a beach dive, just gear up, jump in and you're at the dive site! When going with boats to the other reefs around the island, the trip still only takes a maximum of 20 minutes. This way you can easily make 1-3 dives every day plus night dives and still have time in between to enjoy the beaches and nature of the island.

Beach Dives

There are three different beaches with direct access to the reefs. Diving is very easy due to the mild currents and shallow water. Beach dives are conducted daily at 10:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. or on request, Also as a specialty we have early morning dives straight off the shore starting at 7:00 a.m.
