Certified Divers 3 Day Trips
As far as scuba diving goes you have a number of full-day tour options available, these trips run every day of the year. Our diving in Phuket is done from larger style shared charter boats, the boats are comfortable and spacious.
With the day trips the first option I would recommend doing is the 3 dive Phi Phi / Shark Point day trip. https://www.phuketdivetours.com/product/phi-phi-scuba-diving-day-trip/https://www.phuketdivetours.com/product/phi-phi-scuba-diving-day-trip/
I believe that Koh Bida Nok at Phi Phi is the best dive site in the area.
It has a fantastic and diverse range of corals and marine life. We often see leopard and blacktip reef sharks, turtles, cuttlefish, eels, and plenty of fish including snappers, tuna, trevally, groupers, and a great range of common reef fish. The day usually consists of two dives at Phi Phi and one at Shark Point. Shark Point is a great dive site, it also has great corals including some huge Gorgonian sea fans and barrel sponges, and plenty of soft Anemone coral. The dive site is named after the leopard sharks that sometimes reside there. They do come and go but they are a great sight when they are there. Please note that for the day trip to Phi Phi there is also now a national park entry fee of 600baht per diver (THB 240 for Thai Nationals) which is payable in cash on the boat on the day.

Another nice option this time of year is the 3 dive trip to Racha Yai and Racha Noi. https://www.phuketdivetours.com/product/racha-noi-scuba-diving/
These are two relatively easy dive sites with clear waters and are normally void of strong currents and waves. Both islands have ok coral and marine life however a lot of scuba divers often just like the sites for the great visibility (sometimes around 30 meters) and ease of diving. There have been manta rays sneaking around recently so you may just get lucky.

We have a three-dive advanced divers-only day out to the King Cruiser Wreck, Koh Doc Mai and Shark Point. https://www.phuketdivetours.com/product/king-cruiser-scuba-diving-day-trips/
The King Cruiser Wreck is a passenger ferry that went down after hitting Anemone Reef in 1997. It is in very poor condition and sits on the sandy bottom at 32 meters; the top is around 18 meters. On occasions, it can be a difficult dive due to the condition of the boat and the water conditions (strong currents and poor visibility can occur). Koh Doc Mai is a nice wall dive with lots of macro life.

Discover Scuba diving experience is the 3-dive Racha Noi/Yai option, which is also the best option for certified divers. The 3-dive day for certified divers would be THB 4,500 including rental equipment. Non-divers are more than welcome on the boat and can snorkel at some of the dive sites. you will be limited to 12 meters in-depth and you will always have your instructor with you. This is not a certification course, just a basic introduction to diving with an instructor by your side at all times.
https://www.phuketdivetours.com/product/scuba-diving-for-beginners/
We recommend that you do a two or 3 dive day trip to Racha Yai & Racha Noi which are nice easy dive sites perfect for beginners. The dive sites around Racha Islands have nice clear waters and plenty of fish life and corals to keep the novice diver happy. Each dive will last around 30 - 50 minutes however it depends on how relaxed you are and how quickly you breathe your air.
The 2-dive option is to the closer island Racha Yai only, with the 2 dives This is the shortest boat dive option with the boat departing Chalong pier at 08:00 and returning around 14:00 - 14:30, giving you the afternoon in Phuket for other activities. price is 3800thb
With the 3-dive option, this would include dives at Racha Noi & Racha Yai. The further dive sites around Racha Noi do have some better marine life and corals than Racha Yai, with the first two dives at Racha Noi & dive 3 at Racha Yai. Our 3-dive day trip is a full-day tour, the boat again departs around 08:00 and returns around 17:00 - 17:30 to Chalong pier. price is 4500 thb
The final option for those short on time is a single dive from Kata Beach, which is a half-day tour & gives you the rest of the day for other activities.
You start in our Private dive pool learning to breathe underwater with your instructor showing you how to use the equipmentKata Beach is a nice easy shallow shore dive with a simple walk-in entry from the beach, no need to go on the boat. Kata Beach is however dependent on weather and tides with the best time to dive changing daily. This dive site is only available in the dry season from around November - May. (note hotel transfers, breakfast & lunch are not included for the single beach dive)
