Scuba Diving Day Trips

Day trips may not have the allure of liveaboards, but numerous diving areas in Thailand have excellent scuba diving available from day boats.

  • Day trip diving may fit your budget better than live aboard.
  • Some divers want to enjoy the nightlife or privacy ashore
  • Not every family member is a diver
  • 2 to 3 dives per day are enough
