Raja Yai 
Raja Yai about 35 minutes south of Phuket is a beautiful tropical island with a lot of good hard
coral reefs, colorful shallow water coral gardens
and a great opportunity for some enjoyable drift diving. There are several excellent dive sites particularly suitable for the beginner and
snorkeller, making this island a favorite
destination for everyone.
Raja Noi 
Raja Noi offers in addition to Raja Yai's attractions some truly spectacular sites with giant underwater boulders and scenery almost like the Similans and
a great chance to see manta rays and whale sharks.
Shark Point 
Shark Point, a small rock outcropping about
1½ hours east of Phuket, is a famous
marine
sanctuary due to its tremendous variety of
marine life.
Particular attractions you should
look out for are the colorful soft corals and
huge
sea fans decorating the limestone
pinnacle,
the great range of tropical fish and
the famous
leopard sharks, found on the sandy bottom.
Anemone Reef 
This submerged reef located not far from Shark Point is similar in character and you will be amazed at its extensive fields of sea anemones. Harmless leopard sharks are also to be found together with some massive schools of smaller fish and some larger pelagic such as tuna and barracuda.
Phi Phi Islands 
1,2 hours due east of Phuket, the Phi Phi Islands are
a famous destination even for those unaware of the great diving available.
As a diver, you will find that the spectacular limestone cliffs above the water become sheer drop-offs and craggy coral encrusted landscape under the water with a rich and colorful diversity of marine life and even whale sharks are known to visit.
King Cruiser 
On the 4th of May/97, King Cruiser, an 85 m catamaran passenger ferry, strayed off course
and
hit Anemone Reef ripping one of her twin hulls open. She sank within an hour with no loss of life.
With it's multiple decks, great open passages and depths between 12 and 30 meters, King Cruiser is an ideal wreck dive site for all divers.
Koh Doc Mai 
This small, jungle topped island lies halfway
between Shark Point and Phuket. It provides some of the best wall diving in the area with sea fans,
soft corals and colorful sea life decorating its underwater cliffs.
Sea horses are almost guaranteed!!
