Phang Nga Bay
The majority of diving destinations close to Phuket are located in nearby Phang Nga, where hundreds of limestone islands rise dramatically from the blue waters of Phang Nga Bay. Also popular are the largely inhabitied Similan Islands, recently listed among the world's ten most beautiful spots for underwater scenery by Skin Diving Magazine in the U.S. The spectacular Phi Phi Islands near Phuket are popular too. True Enthusiasts can hire boats for excursions to the Similian Islands, 80 km northwest of Phuket, which have clear waters similar to those found in the Maldives, the Caribbean, and the Great Barrier Reef of Australia.


Blue Canyon Country Club
The Canyon Course is a caddy only course. Designed for the pleasure and enjoyment of golfers at any skill level, the choice of five teeing areas allows the course to be played from varying distances from a length of 7,054 yards from the back tees to a comfortable 5,974 yards from the forward tees. The course has 18 holes and is par 72.

Shark Point and Anemone Reef
By far the best and most popular dive sites by day trip from Phuket or Phi Phi, these two pinnacles are located approximately 25 kilometres East of Chalong Bay in Phuket. Given official Marine Sanctuary status in 1992, these two dive sites are the only day trips in Thailand that offer truly world-class quality diving and except for the limited visibility, these are two of the best dives in the world. The rock explodes with life; the sheer density of fish and other marine life makes diving here a wonderful, sensual experience.


The Burma Banks
A largely unexplored area, the Burma Banks are a series of large underwater flat-topped sea-mounts that lie approximately 180 kilometres (100 nautical miles) Northwest of the Similan Islands. The banks' surrounding waters are over 350 metres deep and large areas rise to within the depth limits of recreational scuba diving. The name derives from the fact that this 1,500 square kilometre area lies within the exclusive economic zone of Burma. The banks offer some exciting, stimulating diving.
