The Location
Known as The Pearl of The Andaman Sea, Phuket Island lies in the
Andaman Sea of Southern Thailand and offers you everything you need to
make your holiday dreams come true.
Excellent diving, fantastic beaches, beautiful surroundings and a wide
variety of
non-diving activities such as fishing, sailing, horse riding,
go-karting, bungee jumping, canoeing and golf all make Phuket the
perfect destination for your special holiday.
Phuket has an excellent range of modern hotels and guesthouses to meet
all budgets including our own Palm Garden Resort. Its world-renowned
pulsating night life has many bars, discos and nightclubs. Restaurants
offer everything from traditional Thai food to truly international
menus and Phuket is famous for its fresh seafood.
If you want to keep busy there are numerous shopping centers and
markets selling a range of Thai handicrafts and international designer
goods. There are two multi-screen cinemas as well as a large selection
of sporting and outdoor activities.
International standard medical care is readily available through
Phuket's international hospitals and the island has several
recompression chambers.
Phuket International Airport has direct flights to and from Europe,
allowing the traveller to make direct flights without the inconvenience
of flight changes.
To add to being an excellent holiday destination Phuket is the doorway
to Thailand's best diving with the world famous Similan Islands to the
North and the islands of Phi Phi and the amazing pinnacles of Hin Daeng
and Hin Muang to the South. These dives sites are rated amongst the
best in the world.
Phuket is without doubt the most popular diving holiday destination in
Thailand and because of this, once you have completed your instructor
training, offers you an excellent chance of finding work and making
your career dreams a reality.
With over 100 diving schools in Phuket, Khao Lak, Ao Nang, Krabi, Phi
Phi, Ko Lipe and Ko Lanta, Phuket offers you the greatest chance of
finding work in Thailand immediately following your instructor
training. With the numerous diving contacts that we've built up over
