Holidaymakers are increasingly going below the surface on their Thai holidays, seduced by the warm water, island scenery and frenetic marine life. Scuba diving in Phuket is a lure for visitors wanting something more than another beach afternoon. The experience is a mix of gentle training, boat trips, coral scenery and the quiet thrill of breathing underwater. Routes around the island lead towards Racha, Phi, Shark Point and the King Cruiser wreckgiving several ways to explore for beginners and qualified divers.
