Thailand is a tropical paradise loved by divers across the globe for its exceptional underwater visibility and reefs filled with some of the best coral and marine life on the planet.
For “big fish” aficionados nothing can beat scuba diving in Thailand with whale sharks, manta rays, leopard sharks and other pelagic, while macro-lovers can look out for seahorse, frogfish, ghost pipefish, nudibranch and other tiny oddities.
With the Gulf of Thailand on the east and the Andaman Sea on the west, diving in Thailand ranges from fringing reefs, deep drop-offs, wrecks, walls, and caverns to tunnels, pinnacles and open ocean seamounts. In short, this is a great country to take your dive training to the next level and guarantees to be a memorable experience for all.

Thailand's tropical location ensures a hot climate and good diving conditions year-round. Air temperatures range from 85-95°F/30–35°C and water temperatures hover around 84°F/29°C for consistently comfortable diving.
Thailand is a big country with two distinct diving zones - the Andaman Sea and Gulf of Thailand - each with opposite diving seasons. In the East, the Gulf of Thailand's visibility is incredible from May through September, while the Andaman Sea on the West Coast tends to offer the best diving conditions from October through April meaning scuba diving in Thailand can be enjoyed all year.
Whale sharks are most likely to make an appearance between March and June. Mid October through to mid-May is best for diving with manta rays.
