Phuket has two main diving seasons: the dry season (high season) from around November to April, and the green season from around May to October. During the green season, the southwest monsoon can occasionally bring stronger waves to offshore areas depending on the day’s sea conditions.
However, this season also offers its own unique appeal, especially around the Racha Islands, where divers can still enjoy crystal-clear blue water and excellent visibility on many days. Around the Phi Phi Islands, many dive sites are sheltered by dramatic limestone cliffs, allowing for comfortable diving conditions even during the green season when conditions are favorable.
Koh Haa is well known for its exciting topography diving, featuring caves, caverns, and swim-throughs. In contrast, Hin Daeng and Hin Muang are famous as dynamic offshore dive sites with stronger currents, attracting large schools of fish and pelagic species.
Please note that the Hin Daeng and Hin Muang area is located in offshore waters and may be affected by waves and swells depending on sea conditions.

The Racha Noi area is known for its crystal-clear blue water and dramatic underwater topography. Popular dive sites include Banana Bay and Racha Noi Garden, while the remote South Tip may also be visited when sea conditions allow. The area features giant granite boulders and beautiful white sand bottoms, making it enjoyable for both beginner and returning divers. Encounters with eagle rays, leopard sharks, and schools of barracuda are also possible.
Around the Phi Phi Islands, divers can explore dramatic limestone formations, beautiful bays, and fish-rich dive sites. With a wide variety of dive environments ranging from calm reefs to exciting topography dives, Phi Phi is a popular area for both wide-angle and macro diving.
Koh Haa is famous for its topography diving, featuring caves, caverns, and swim-throughs that create a true sense of underwater adventure.
Hin Daeng and Hin Muang are renowned offshore dive sites known for their vibrant soft corals, large schools of fish, and dynamic currents. These sites are also popular among divers hoping to encounter manta rays and whale sharks.
