Thailand

Thailand is one of the most popular destinations in the world for scuba-diving - and for good reason.

Koh Tao, Phuket and Ko Phi Phi are very popular places to learn to dive, while the Similan and Surin Islands make a fantastic introduction to the world of liveaboard diving.

The best scuba diving in Thailand is concentrated along the southern peninsula, with options on both the east and the west coasts. When conditions on one coast are not ideal, the opposite coast often has good conditions, providing options for divers throughout the year.
