What is the water temperature in Phuket?

The sea around Phuket stays warm all year, typically between 28 and 30 °C. A 3 mm shorty or full wetsuit is comfortable for most divers, and we have rental suits in all sizes on board.

When is the best time of year to dive in Phuket?

Diving is good all year. The high season runs from November to April with the calmest seas and best visibility, while the green season from May to October still offers excellent diving and quieter sites.

What is the underwater visibility like?

Visibility usually ranges from 10 to 25 metres depending on the site, season and tides. Our guides choose each day's sites to give you the clearest water available.

Can I still dive during the rainy season?

Yes. Rain rarely affects diving. Conditions underwater stay calm and the marine life is just as active. We simply choose sheltered sites on windier days. See our rainy-season guide for more detail.

Do I need to be certified to go diving?

No. Certified divers can join our day trips, and complete beginners can join a Try Scuba Diving experience or take a full Open Water Diver course. No prior experience required.

What is included in a dive day trip?

Day trips include all dive equipment, tanks and weights, a professional dive guide, drinking water, snacks and a freshly prepared lunch on board. Trips depart from Chalong Pier — an easy taxi or Grab ride from every main beach.

A diving day built around you

We read the sea, then pick the sites.

We dive from our own boat, the M/V Matchanu, a spacious owner-operated vessel carrying a maximum of 10 dive guests, so there’s always plenty of space on board.

There is no fixed itinerary. Each morning we choose the sites by weather, tides and visibility, so you always dive the best conditions Phuket has to offer.

The weather writes the schedule. We stopped arguing with it years ago.
