home thing to do Diving
Scuba Diving
Expeditions regularly leave Phuket for dives arround neighbouring islands, and further afield, most particularly around the enduringly popular Phi Phi Islands in neighbouring Krabi province, two hours east of Phuket. Other top diving destinations include the similan islands in Phang-Nga, and the Taya islands south of Phuket, Dive shops renting out equipment are concentrated in Patong, Kata and Chalong areas. Most of these shops offer diving courses for beginners.
 
Snorkeling
The bays in Phuket contain many interesting coral reefs.
Equipment can be rented from dive shops around the island.
Swimming
During the rainy season's storms this can be very dangerous. Look for posted signs and flags indicating conditions for sale swimming; if
the red flag is flying, do not go swimming in the ocean!
