It is not the best period for diving in Phuket, Phang-Nga and Krabi.

REMARKS:
- Late reservations or walk-in customers just a few hours before liveaboard cruise departures disturb the supplying, planning and the timing so we recommend to the divers to book well in advance and before arriving in Thailand. Thank you for your understanding.
- We all time recommend divers to stay at any hotels either in Rawai (Chalong Bay Marina: 5-10 mm), Kata (Chalong Bay Marina: 15 mm), Karon (Chalong Bay Marina: 20 mm) or Patong (Chalong Bay Marina: 30 mm) in order to shorter the transfers between the hotel and Chalong Bay Marina where our Seafarer Divers dive center is located and also where all divers are boarding the dive boats for day trips or liveaboard dive cruises.
- Hotel rooms are easy to find in Phuket and divers may be able to stay either in a guest-house (10-40 rooms/500-1,000 Baht), in a comfortable hotel with swimming-pool and hospitality (40-120 rooms/1,000-3,000 Baht) or even in a true First Class Resort for the most demanding customer (120-800 rooms/3,000-15,000 Baht).
- For those looking to stay several weeks or months, they have the possibility to rent cheap rooms (3,000-6,000 Baht per month), Bungalows with 1-2 rooms with a kitchen (6,000-20,000 Baht), apartments and even luxurious houses or mansions with a private swimming-pool (20,000-60,000 Baht per month).
- Do not forget that it is possible to fly to and from Phuket with many airlines via Bangkok, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur and Hong-Kong or even directly to Phuket itself. In order to avoid disappointment divers should not wait the last minute to book their flights as we have a shortage of seats to fly to Phuket and particularly during festivals, public holidays or school holidays (Local or international).
