Diving in Phuket｜Sharks spotted! A legend from the blue sea🪸

👉When it comes to diving, Phuket Deep Sea Port is definitely one of the most popular places on social media in recent years. Known for its underwater biodiversity, clear waters, and the thrill of deep-sea diving, many experienced divers consider it a "diving mecca." 🤿My friend is a hardcore diver who spends most of their time in the water. They chose a diving route to Shark Reef, saying that if they're lucky, they might even encounter a whale shark! Wow, I can't even imagine that, so I just joined in for a shallow dive. 🐟Most of the dive sites are quite deep, ranging from 20 to 30 meters, and the currents can be a bit strong, especially near the coast. There are more types of coral reefs, with hard corals covering a much larger area than on Saigon Island, and you can often see various tropical fish swimming among the coral. While diving at Shark Reef, a member of our group encountered a blacktip shark! It swam quietly and gracefully, keeping a slight distance from us, but we could clearly see its massive body moving. This experience of being in close contact with a giant ocean creature is truly unparalleled. ⚠️Note: The underwater environment can sometimes have strong currents, so be extra careful when diving and ensure good communication with your diving instructor. If you're a beginner, it's best to try a few shallow dives first before attempting deep-sea diving. 🪸There are several beautiful beaches nearby, with the most famous being Hu Yong Beach, where the water is crystal clear and free from commercial disturbances. After diving, many tourists choose to sunbathe, snorkel, or swim on the beach. You can also grab a bite to eat, drink some juice, and take a break. 🚢Transportation: It takes about 2 hours by boat from Phuket. Day trip: If you join a diving tour, round-trip boat tickets and diving equipment are provided. 💰Price: The cost is around THB 2,500–4,000. 🏨Accommodation: The nearby accommodation facilities are quite basic, so it's best to opt for a day trip. 🌞Sun protection: The sunlight reflects off the sea surface, and the UV rays are still strong. Apply waterproof sunscreen before diving, wear a hat and sunglasses, and take sun protection measures. ⚠️Underwater safety: Follow the instructor's instructions and keep a distance from other divers. Do not attempt to venture into deep waters; safety first. 🍱Food and water: Try to avoid overeating before diving to prevent discomfort while diving. The boat will provide a light lunch, and you can also enjoy meals at small shops on the island after diving. 🏝️Do you ever feel that when you're in the ocean, you forget all your worries and temporarily let go of the people and things that bother you? The seaside is a very healing place, whether you're lying on the beach daydreaming or diving into the sea to dance with marine life, it brings joy and satisfaction.
