Scuba diving in Thailand is one of the most popular water sports. Here there are several gorgeous dive sites in the world. The water is incredibly crystal clear, full of sea lives. Transportation and accommodation is readily available. You can also take a diving course here in Thailand because the instruction reaches an exceptionally high standard. Not to talk about the cost, it’s rather cheap comparing to other places around the world. And once you got your diving certification right here, it is also accepted in any places around the world.

You can go dive at any time of the year, although the season might affect the visibility. For example, in the Andaman Sea, the best time to go diving is from October to April and the other side is in the Gulf of Thailand, the perfect time is from May to September. And when the water is crystal clear you can see many sea lives like whale sharks, manta rays, flying fish, dolphins and colorful coral reefs right from the surface.

Every accepted dive shop is affiliated with PADI. Just like the one I took the course with. My trainer can speak well English. And there are also trainers for other several languages. At diving schools here you can expect international standard with good and professional facilities.

I heard that some places near the sea, you don’t need much time to learn how to dive. Just a couple days are good enough, or some places just one day. Or you can choose to take a course in Bangkok and take a test in the open water. That way it’d be convenient for you who don’t have much free time.

Diving is another great activity to do in Thailand’s sea that you can spend with your friends and family. Even when you go dive, the rest of the team can also relax on the beach, swim, sail canoe and enjoy the food, the trip and the scenery of the world’s most beautiful sea sites.
