WHY PHUKET
Diving capital of Thailand
Phuket is considered the diving capital of Thailand. It offers access to amazing dive sites like Racha islands, Phi Phi islands and the King Cruiser wreck. The famous Similan islands are also in close proximity.
There are many dive centers in the area which makes finding employment after your IDC relatively easy.
After your IDC, the largest island in Thailand offers a rich variety of experiences. Beach-bumming, culture, diving, fabulous food, Party scene.
If you love food, you will love Phuket. There are many restaurants serving western and Thai food. If you are a little bit more adventurous you should definately try the street food that you can find in the many foodstalls on the night markets.
In Phuket you can find some of the world’s finest beaches. Wherever you stay you will never be far from the beach! Most beaches are easily accessable but there are also many quiet and secluded beaches.
