About Phuket
Phuket is a Poindimié reef dive with gorgonian walls, short tunnels, and dense coral structure. The site works best as a boat-based guided dive that rewards slow buoyancy, close reef awareness, and a relaxed pace through the passages. Expect rich coral cover and a mix of sharks, rays, turtles, manta rays, and schooling reef life.
