Racha Yai Island is located about 1 hour and 30 minutes by diving boat south of Phuket. Although it is only 20 km from Phuket, if you take a short boat trip to the surrounding islands, you will find waters far more beautiful than Phuket's beaches, with clear visibility and coral reefs teeming with tropical fish. Known as the most popular island for Discover Scuba Diving, Racha Yai Island offers excellent visibility and stable conditions throughout the year. When the weather is favorable, breathtaking tropical island scenery unfolds before your eyes. With white sandy bottoms, forests of branching coral, and colorful tropical fish, the island is rich in marine life and popular among divers and snorkelers alike. Discover Scuba Diving is available for participants from 8 years old without a license. Our fully guided small-group program ensures safety, so even first-timers can participate with confidence. Licensed divers and those joining via snorkeling can also join together, making it a perfect activity for families, couples, or friends.
Discover Scuba Diving is conducted both at nearby islands via boat diving and at Phuket beaches.
Just a short boat ride from Phuket, you can reach surrounding islands where the Indian Ocean is far clearer than Phuket's beaches, with abundant coral and tropical fish. The number one popular island for Discover Scuba Diving with consistently high visibility throughout the year is Racha Yai Island, only a 1-hour boat ride from Phuket. With good weather, breathtaking southern island scenery unfolds. During high season, you can also enjoy a convenient half-day Discover Scuba Diving tour at Phuket's beaches. Experience walking underwater while playing with coral and fish in Phuket’s warm and colorful waters—a unique sensation unlike anything you have experienced before. This will surely become a memorable part of your Phuket trip.
Discover Scuba Diving is not a difficult water sport.
To enjoy diving, it is important to first receive instructions from a Japanese instructor and practice using the equipment before entering the water. At our shop, customer safety is our top priority during Discover Scuba Diving. We never take participants directly to deep areas or let them enter the water without explanation. Our Japanese diving instructors provide guidance on land first, allowing beginners to experience diving at their own pace safely.
Instructors provide full support.
During Discover Scuba Diving, you wear a diving jacket, which ensures buoyancy both underwater and on the surface. Additionally, diving equipment allows you to breathe underwater as easily as on land, so even non-swimmers can safely enjoy the underwater world around Phuket.
There is no age limit for those over 8 years old.
Healthy participants aged 8 and above can join Discover Scuba Diving, making it possible for families to enjoy the experience together.
You can join together.
You can dive together with a licensed diver. In this case, licensed divers and trial divers may have different maximum depths, so licensed divers will dive within the Discover Scuba Diving limits. Families, friends, and couples can all enjoy diving together safely.
