Diving in Phuket | Similan travel guide

👍 Where is the best place to dive in Thailand? It has to be the Similan Islands. 🕙 Similan opening hours: Open from October 15 to May 15. The rest of the time is the island's closure period, which is used to restore the ecological environment. ⏳ When is the best time to go? January to March is the best time to dive in the Similan Islands. At this time, the ocean currents will bring large fish to the Similan waters, and the probability of seeing whale sharks is very high during this period. 🚉 Similan boat transportation guide: There are two piers to take a boat from, Thap Lamu Pier and Thalang Mai Khao. ✅ Thap Lamu Pier is located in Phang Nga Bay, a two-hour drive from Phuket City, but the boat ride is shorter. ✅ Thalang Mai Khao is near Mai Khao Airport, closer to Phuket City, but the boat ride is longer. 🌟 How can ordinary tourists get there most conveniently? Signing up for a one-day tour online is the most convenient, including pick-up and drop-off. 🌟 For those who go diving and live on a boat: 1. You must have an AOW certificate. 2. This is the entry-level liveaboard, and the Similan Islands are recommended for the first liveaboard.
