Bases
Nai thon

Beautiful Nai Thon Beach is located just a short 15-minute drive away from Phuket International Airport and 10 minutes away from Nai Yang Beach. Some people regard this beach and its small community as the most beautiful of Phuket's inhabitated beaches.

The 5 Star ITC Master Dive Center AQUA DIVERS Nai Thon Dive Resort is located directly on the beach, less than 50m (150 ft) away from the waterline. It has gained a fine reputation and many friends among a growing number of divers from all around the world.

The Aqua Divers 5 Star ITC Master Dive Center emphasizes strict adherence to safety standards and is equipped with the latest in diving gear and related facilities. With Aqua Divers, you can take u/w digital camera service, dive computer rental, u/w scooter rental, and Nitrox (Enriched Air) diving for granted.

The Aqua Divers long-tail boats moored in front of the dive center take divers and snorkelers alike in just a few minutes into the fascinating underwater world of the reefs around the resort. Our house reefs can be reached by boat in just 5-10 minutes.

Every one of these various dive spots is well worth seeing. At a depth of 6-25m (18-75 ft), the gardens of stone corals and soft corals are home to a rich diversity of marine life. Colorful schools of fish, rays, turtles, squids, and a multitude of other inhabitants make these dive spots a special attraction for divers. Several species of nudibranch and other rare creatures like the Ornate Ghostpipefish (lat: Solenostomus paradoxus) can regularly be here spotted and delight underwater naturalists and photographers alike.

The dive center, managed by Jens Hofacker and Rainer Gottwald, is located between the Nai Thon Beach Resort and the Nai Thon Villas, both with a view of the beautiful Andaman Sea. This is the perfect place for spending a relaxed, yet fascinating holiday. Nai Thon Beach has a small SUPERMARKET (conveniance store), an Internet Cafe and a few small Thai shops.

The idyllic atmosphere and the romantic beach are unique on Phuket. As an Aqua Diver, you get to enjoy the culinary specialties of Thailand while sitting on the beach and gazing at the sea. After dinner time, many divers like to go to nearby Nai Yang for a decompression beer at the Pool-Bar (with a pool billiards table).

SAFTEY AND ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

AQUDDIVERS values nothing more than the safety of our customers and our staff! That is the only thing that takes precedence over having fun and working hard to give you a satisfying diving experience.

With AQUADIVERS, you will never dive without a detailed briefing, or without an alternative air supply (regulator with two second stages). Routinely, we do check dives for the safety of our customers. Medic First Aid and oxygen are supplied in every AQUADIVERS dive center and on all day trip boats. Just in case - it is good to know that there are several decompression chambers in Phuket.

 

 

 

 

Apart from our extensive diving programme we organize monthly Beach Clean Ups in cooperation with the CMAS Thailand Beach Cleaning Programme.

The AQUADIVERS Andaman Dive Center is open all-year-round. Diving at the house reefs is only available during the main season from October thru May. Dive trips to Phuket's classic dive destinations, like KOH DOK MAI, SHARKPOINT, ANEMONE REEF, RACHA ISLANDS, and PHI PHI ISLANDS, are available all-year-round.
