How much is diving in Phuket?

I just told you about the diving strategy of Krabi Island. Now Bian Xiao will tell you the cost of diving in Phuket and some precautions. Everyone should pay attention to safety when diving.

Diving snorkeling: Only snorkeling equipment (snorkeling mirrors, breathing tubes and flippers) can be used. Snorkeling usually lasts about 30 minutes at a time.

Deep diving (scuba diving): It needs expensive and bulky equipment such as buoyancy control vest (BCD), regulator, gas cylinder, pressure gauge, depth gauge, lead block, etc.

Phuket diving price:

The cost of snorkeling is mostly included in the cost of a day trip to the island. The price of one-day tour is around 300~500 yuan, including hotel transfer, lunch and snorkeling.

Deep diving is generally a self-funded activity based on island tours. In addition to the one-day tour, there are two kinds of fees. One is to experience deep diving, that is, a coach drags you around the bottom of the sea, and the price is around 200~500 yuan. The other is professional diving with diving license, and the price is around 300 yuan.

Tips:

1, please wear a life jacket when snorkeling, snorkeling equipment is goggles and breathing tube. The tableware provided on the ship is a little dirty, so you'd better bring it yourself. If the snorkeling equipment leaks, it needs to be replaced immediately.

2. After scuba diving, you can't dive freely or massage (you can massage the next day). People with myopia can wear contact lenses to dive, but pregnant women can't dive.

Diving related issues 1. Experience diving II. Textual research on diving III. Certified diving.

Experience diving: As we saw in Sanya, after about half an hour's training course, the coach will take you to experience activities underwater.

Diving research: that is, you can obtain diving certificates (such as OW certificate and AOW certificate, which are equivalent to driver's license) through study and examination, and then you can rent your own diving supplies in the equipment area. The diving activity after obtaining the certificate is called certified diving.

On the difference between experiential diving and licensed diving.

1. Deep landscape

Experience diving: due to safety factors, the maximum depth will not exceed 10 meter, and basically only corals or small fish can be seen on the shore. The focus is on experiencing underwater breathing and diving attempts, so it is called experiential diving. Generally, there are many diving spots and the scenery is good, so it is impossible to experience diving. For example, Similan in Thailand and Sipadan in Malaysia. On the one hand, the reason is safety, on the other hand, experienced divers can't control it, which is easy to destroy the coral environment below.

Diving research: OW certificate allows diving depth of 18m, and AOW certificate allows diving depth of 30m. The AOW certificate can basically cover 99% of the diving spots in the world, so it is basically enough for the whole world to visit.

Licensed diving: Licensed diving is a diving activity after obtaining a diving license. In theory, as long as you have the equipment, you can go diving by yourself, just like having a driver's license. For example, boating and diving in Similan is only open to licensed divers. For example, whale sharks and manta rays in Similan can't be seen without a certificate. ....

2. Price

The landlord is more concerned about the price. I studied OW in Kuqian Island Campus and AOW in Phuket Campus, so I took the price of Kuqian Island as an example.

Experience diving: two dives in 750 yuan

OW research diving: one swimming pool diving and four sea diving are 2600 yuan.

Certified diving: In fact, the main purpose of the study is here. For example, in Phuket, I took an exam to go diving in Taodao. Those without certificates dive at 3500 baht, and those with certificates dive at 1400 baht, which is much cheaper and the scenery is better than the diving experience.

The price in Southeast Asia is almost the same, 2000-3000 is normal, among which Taodao is the cheapest, and you can get OW certificate in 2000. However, compared with Yutao Island, Phuket has greater advantages in transportation and surrounding facilities.

3. Time:

Experience diving: 1 day, 9 am to 4 pm.

OW research diving: three days, one day theoretical course (completed in China), three days underwater course, including four dives.

4. Diving in Phuket, what did you see?

Experience diving: This is not much different from the experience diving in Sanya, because the priority of experience diving is sand, which will not destroy the underwater environment. Secondly, the coral species at the same depth are actually similar. So it is mainly composed of sand coral and coral fish.

Textual research on diving or licensed diving: going to a diving spot is definitely better than experiencing diving. Needless to say, according to the coach, there are manta rays, whale sharks, dolphins, turtles, sea wolf storms and so on around Phuket.

5. Can I learn to dive if I can't swim?

Experience diving and research diving don't need to be able to swim, as long as you are not afraid of water. For example, I can't, but the coach will teach snorkeling, and I will swim with a breathing tube and fins.

stay behind

Accommodation in Phuket is very cost-effective, and there are many hotels around 200. Basically, what Ctrip can see is good, mainly because of the different location. You can decide which area you want to move into. If you learn diving, you can consider living in the student room of the school, one day 100, usually 200.

7. Selection of potential schools

Experience diving: Generally speaking, there are tour groups and diving schools. The former, represented by lazy cats, is similar in nature to Sanya. It's mainly for entertainment and soaking in water, so it's generally cheap, but the time is short, so everyone queues up. The latter is mainly based on diving course experience, which is slightly more expensive, but the experience is better.

Research on diving: I chose a cool diving campus in Phuket. After all, the scale and reputation are there, the coach is in charge, and the whole experience is very good. I recommend avoiding advertisements. If you need private contact information, you can also find it on Taobao. In addition, there are several Chinese diving schools in Phuket, such as Blue Point, Blue Whale and Neptune. Although they have never experienced it, they are basically five-star diving shops of PADI, and the teaching quality should be similar.
