I have been diving out of Phuket several times over the last 10 years. It has been about 5 years since I dove Phuket but this is about as bad as I have seen it. The coral (soft & hard)is almost completely gone. Without the reef the marine life is almost non-existent as well. I never thought I would see Phi Phi island look so bad. I will likely not return to the Phuket area again for scuba diving. Sea Fun Diving is a reputable dive company that goes out of their way to make your dive experience comfortable and relaxing. The dive masters/instructors and boat crew were very helpful and accommodating. I had a failed lo-pressure miflex hose on the second day of diving and Sea Fun was able to produce a new replacement hose the next morning without hosing me for the cost. |
