Scuba Diving at Phuket Island

The Pearl of the Andaman Sea is given as a metaphorical name of the provincial island of Phuket. Tourists to Thailand usually know this province best -- if not Chiang Mai -- after the capital metropolitan of Bangkok. The name is justified by its impeccable location just offshore the west coastline of the Thai South. The island itself hosts several white-sandy beaches enticing to lie on, but Phuket is much more than its island proper. There are several satellite islets and colorful coral reefs clustering around. Hence, scuba diving is one of the most popular activities at Phuket. It offers a large selection of dive sites ranging from as shallow as 8 meters to as deep as 40 meters. No matter what level your skill and experience, there is always something for you. Last time, we went diving for 2 dives at Koh Racha Yai (Big Royal Island) at the depth of 9-18 meters. The day was bright, the water was crystal clear, and the tide was still. In all, it's such a memorable smiling activity in the land of smiles ;-)
