"Last Minute" discounts on selected Similans liveaboard boats

Over Christmas and New Year we had a record number of divers in the Similans and they've all come back with huge smiles and some great photos. Our favourite is the picture of the super-rare giant guitarfish (Rhynchobatus djiddensis), often mistaken for a shark, but actually more closely related to rays. You can see the photo, taken at Richelieu Rock, on our Oceanic Facebook Page. If you want your chance to photo this beauty then check out our hand-picked selection of boats on our Phuket Liveaboard Boats page. We offer the full range from budget to 5-star luxury but they all share one thing in common... a proven track-record of excellence in customer service and safety. Some of the boats may be offering special prices for last minute bookings in the coming weeks, while some trips are already full. Email us for more information info@oceanicdivecenter.com

Phi Phi Islands Overnight Dive Trip Special Offer

This is always considered a special trip because of the great dive staff, lovely air-conditioned accommodation on Phi Phi, delicious food and, not forgetting, the amazing diving! At 9,900 Baht per diver it's already special value, but during our 13th year, we're offering free equipment rental for anyone quoting "13, unlucky for some!" when they book... that's a saving of 1,400 Baht per diver. For more details, please check out our Phi Phi Diving page on this site or contact us by phone or email.

Hin Daeng, Hin Muang & Koh Ha... superstar dive sites!

Sometimes it seems all the attention in the diving community of Phuket is on the world-famous Similans, so these other treasures of the Andaman are often overlooked. Just a bit too far for a daytrip, Hin Daeng (Red Rock) and Hin Muang (Purple Rock) are described in more detail at this link and we visit them on shorter 2, 3 or 4 night liveaboard trips which will also visit the enchanting islands Koh Ha and Phi Phi and the ever popular Shark Point. On previous trips the divers were treated to whalesharks, mantas, mobulas, seahorses, ornate ghostpipefish and many more fabulous surprises. These trips run throughout the year, so even though the Similans close for the low season in May, you can still get in some wonderful diving and experience the convenience and camaraderie of life on board a liveaboard dive boat.

Half-day and Day Trips for diving and snorkling around Phuket every day.

The conditions on Phuket's Western beaches are fantastic now and set to stay that way all the way through to April or May. We can rent snorkelling gear and give you advice on the best spots for snorkelling or even take you out on Discover Scuba dives right here on our Kata and Karon house reefs. If you prefer to be out on the open ocean, the conditions are always superb at our popular diving and snorkelling sites at Racha Yai. Snorkellers and divers of all abilities will find what they're looking for diving at Phi Phi too. For divers with a little more experience, our daily trips out to King Cruiser Wreck, will astound you with the numbers and varieties of schooling fish around the wreck.
