Jamahkiri Diving Club - Gulf of Thailand
Jamahkiri Diving Club sits in the Gulf of Thailand, a good base for exploring the area's 90-odd dive sites. We've found their Diamond courses particularly well-structured, great for anyone looking to refine their skills beyond the basics. They run day trips out to the local pinnacles and reefs, which tend to be more sheltered on the leeward side of the island during monsoon season, meaning better vis. It’s a solid choice if you're keen on steady diving from a well-established operation, especially if you appreciate a calm, unrushed pace on the boat.
