Unfortunately weather conditions here in Phuket haven't been great for 1 week now - a lot of rain and a little bit of waves. According to the forecast, this is due to improve from tomorrow, let's hope so :) Before that, conditions were like high season - sunny every day, flat seas and visibilty ranging between 20-25 metres....make for some happy divers!! Congratulations to Scott Phillips who completed the Enriched Air Nitrox course on the last Phi Phi overnight trip - here is a picture of him in one of the swim thru's at Koh Bida Nai

After a pretty quiet June, things have picked up again in Phuket, despite some rough weather at the beginning of July, conditions now are more like high season again! The diving has been great - leopard sharks at Shark Point, lots of Black tip reef sharks around Phi Phi and the King Cruiser wreck is just covered with masses of fish. Check out the video below....



A big congratulations to newly certified Junior Open Water divers Alex and Max and their dad Martin who completed his Open Water course. Also to Peter, Chen Fui and David who passed their Enriched Air course, and finally to Carlo who just finished his Open Water course during the last Phi Phi overnight trip - enjoy your adventures guys!! •Phi-Phi Overnight 25-26 July - we still have space available! •Phi-Phi Overnight special - Very special low-season price of only 8,900 Baht!!!

Thankfully the storm that hit southern Thailand has now passed and we have returned to sunshine and flat seas :) conditions underwater on the last trip weren't so good due to the rain, but the should clear within the next few days. We still have been lucky to see a lot of cool stuff - lots of black tip reef sharks around Phi Phi, turtles, some weird nudibrancs, and I managed to find 2 seahorses on our nightdive location, happy face!

I also had an overnight trip to the Similan Islands recently to conduct the Advanced Open Water course for Kat and Dan Millane - congratulations on passing the course guys, it was a fun trip!

Happy belated new year!! It's been a while since my last post - things have been a bit hectic over the festive period! The diving conditions have been good although the visibility around Phi Phi on the last trip wasn't that great, but as we know, this changes from day to day. On a brighter note, Koh Doc Mai and King Cruiser were amazing - clear water and little to no current :) Still plenty of sharks around to see, and I've heard from friends that there were sightings of whale sharks at Richelieu Rock in the Similan Islands last week - who knows, maybe they will pay a visit to Phuket soon!

•Phi-Phi Overnight January 31-1 February - the trip is confirmed and we still have space available!

We had a really great Phi Phi overnight trip on Friday-Saturday, visibility was around 20 metres and we had very little current. We had a couple of leopard sharks at Shark Point, huge schools of yellow snapper at Bida Nok getting hunted by some huge trevally, a lot of black tip reef sharks and a turtle at Palong Bay, and we could even see King Cruiser from the surface :) Here's a quick video of the sharks at Palong Bay...

A big congratulations to Ian and David, who recently completed their PADI Advanced Open Water course on one of our overnight Phi Phi trips. They were lucky enough to spot a couple of leopard sharks, bent stick pipefish and even a baby seahorse! - well done guys :)

So here we are at the beginning of the new high season :) We had quite a nice "low" season with not too much rain and the seas weren't too rough either - a lot of customers were surprised by the beautiful weather we can get here during the period from May-October. The conditions lately have been great, visibility is averaging around 15 metres and the flat seas make for very plain sailing! We have seen leopard sharks around Shark Point and there are black tip reef sharks to be seen around Bida Nok, Bida Nai and Phi Phi Ley. On our last trip we were able to make a sunset dive at Hin Dot, a series of small submerged pinnacles in Tonsai Bay on Phi Phi Don. It's only possible to dive here when there is little to no current due to its small size, but we were rewarded with a huge school of yellow snapper, a huge giant moray eel and even found a turtle resting in a crack on the side of the pinnacle - it was my favourite dive of the trip!

We were also rewarded at Koh Doc Mai where we spotted a baby seahorse being carefully looked after by it's papa, along with the usual mix of morays, shrimps and nudibrancs - here's one of the many we spotted along the way...
