    • FAQ:
      How much does a private dive charter cost?

      A private boat for diving starts from 28,000 THB for a half-day (2 dives). Full-day charters to Similan from 55,000 THB. Equipment rental and dive guide are additional. Price is per vessel, not per diver.


      Do I need my own equipment?

      Bring your own or rent. Full set (BCD, reg, wetsuit, mask, fins, tank) from 1,500 THB/diver/day via our partner dive shops.


      Can non-divers come?

      Yes! Non-divers snorkel at dive sites, relax on the boat, or visit beaches during surface intervals. Great for mixed groups.


      What certification do I need?

      Open Water for most sites. Advanced Open Water for deeper sites (Racha Noi deep, King Cruiser interior). We recommend sites matching your level.

    Skip the packed dive boats. A private dive charter in Phuket lets you explore Thailand's best dive sites on your own schedule, with your own group. No rushing between sites, no 30 strangers on board, no fixed timetables. Choose your dive sites, set your pace, and combine diving with snorkeling, island visits, and sunset cruises. Boats for 2 to 20 divers.

    Why Go Private?

    • Your schedule — dive when you want, how long you want
    • No crowds underwater — arrive before/after group boats
    • Mixed groups — divers and snorkelers on the same trip
    • Multiple dives — fit 2–4 dives at your pace
    • Photography time — no rush, take your time
