Luna Diving Thailand - Crociere Diving

Luna Diving Thailand operates as both a professional dive centre and a specialised liveaboard agency based in Phuket. Since 2008, they have focused on the waters of the Andaman Sea, organising everything from daily trips to the Racha Islands to extended cruises through the Similan archipelago.

Their operation is built around small group sizes, ensuring that whether you are on a day boat or a multi-day yacht, the focus remains on the diving experience. They manage a variety of vessel types, ranging from comfortable budget-friendly boats to premium yachts equipped with private cabins and en-suite bathrooms.

The centre is a PADI affiliated operation with a team of experienced, certified instructors. They provide instruction and guidance in English, French, and Italian, making them a versatile choice for international divers.

Training is conducted with an emphasis on small groups to maintain high safety standards and personalised attention. This approach applies to both their PADI course offerings and their guided reef or drift dives.

Luna Diving Thailand offers a full range of PADI courses for all levels of experience. Beginners can start with the PADI Discover Scuba Diving programme or work towards their PADI Open Water Diver certification.

For those looking to progress, they provide the PADI Advanced Open Water Diver, PADI Rescue Diver, and specialised training such as the PADI Deep Diver and Nitrox courses. They also offer specific training for drift diving and night diving.

The centre organises liveaboard cruises using a range of partner vessels. These range from comfortable, budget-conscious boats to premium yachts that feature private cabins and bathrooms.

Onboard facilities include spacious diving decks, as well as dedicated areas for both sunbathing and shade. All cruises include freshly cooked meals, and the vessels are equipped to handle daily excursions as well as multi-day safaris.

The Andaman Sea around these sites is a major draw for those seeking pelagics. You can regularly encounter manta rays during your dives, particularly at sites like Koh Bon.

The reef structures are home to a variety of resident species, providing a rich backdrop for every dive. The combination of granite formations and reef flats creates a complex habitat for diverse marine life.

Diving in this region involves varying conditions depending on the specific site. Some locations, such as Koh Tachai, are known for strong currents that sweep across the plateaus.

The availability of sites can vary based on the season, with the Similan Islands and Richelieu Rock being primary destinations for liveaboard expeditions.
