An Andaman basecamp for reefs, wrecks, and limestone island day trips
Pick an activity mode to compare signature sites, skill fit, and gear planning notes before you lock your trip.
Phuket delivers classic Andaman variety without complicated logistics. You can do easy, confidence-building reef dives at Koh Racha Yai, drift pinnacles at Shark Point and Anemone Reef, and tick off the King Cruiser wreck on a single trip. With more time, Phuket also works as a staging point for liveaboards and long day trips north to Similan and Surin, where big-rock topography and pelagic encounters (like Richelieu Rock) are the headline.
A friendly bay dive for checkouts, buoyancy work, and relaxed reef cruising in the 5 m to 18 m range.
A fishy pinnacle zone that is often dived as a drift, with schools and reef life packed onto structure.
Known for dense anemone coverage and the kind of reef texture that keeps photographers busy for an entire dive.
An iconic Phi Phi dive with reef structure and bigscene vibes, commonly visited from Phuket on longer day trips.
A bucketlist offshore pinnacle that shows why liveaboards are popular: big biomass, macro potential, and real pelagic possibility.
More exposed Andaman diving with deeper water nearby and currentdependent action.
A larger wreck profile that rewards solid buoyancy and depth management.
