    highly professional instructor: Eric Rath Barros

    Eric Rath Barros was my instructor for the Enriched Air Nitrox and Perfect Buoyancy specialties, which I completed to earn my SSI Specialty Diver certification. Eric is an excellent and highly professional instructor. He gave clear explanations and thorough briefings before each dive, followed by helpful feedback and practical tips afterwards. Safety was always his top priority. As an extra service, he also filmed parts of my dives, giving me a great memory of the experience. It was a very successful and enjoyable day. Many thanks to Eric!

    Five star trip/dives to Racha Yai

    Five stars from start to finish. The entire team at Sea Bees Diving Phuket was friendly, professional, and extremely well organized. A special thanks to Joy at reception, who made everything easy from check-in to scheduling and was always welcoming and helpful. The dive operation itself was excellent. The dive masters and guides, especially George, were knowledgeable, safety-focused, and did a great job making every dive enjoyable. I also really appreciated that divers were thoughtfully divided into groups based on experience and ability, which meant everyone could dive at a comfortable pace. Another big plus was that the dives were nice and long—you never felt rushed underwater. If you’re looking for a professional, well-run dive operator in Phuket with great staff and excellent guiding, I highly recommend Sea Bees Diving.

    Excellent refresher

    Firstly the organisation for the day from pickup in the morning to drop off back to the hotel late afternoon was very good. I had not diverted for ten years and took the refresher add on which was perfect to bring me up to speed and allow me on the second dive of the day to enjoy the experience in a fully relaxed manner. My instructor was Katri and she did a fantastic job to give me the confidence I needed. My last comment is that with high morning winds there were an awful lot of dive boats in the more sheltered bay we dived in. In fairness we moved to a less sheltered and less crowded bay for the afternoon dive.

    Scuba Diving Daytrip to Racha Yai Island: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Phuket.

    How much does Scuba Diving Daytrip to Racha Yai Island cost?

    +

    Prices start at $90 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Phuket usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Scuba Diving Daytrip to Racha Yai Island take?

    +

    Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Phuket is not rushed.

    Is Scuba Diving Daytrip to Racha Yai Island worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 60 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Phuket, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Scuba Diving Daytrip to Racha Yai Island?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Scuba Diving Daytrip to Racha Yai Island suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Scuba Diving Daytrip to Racha Yai Island?

    +

    Around 21 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Phuket can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Phuket and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Scuba Diving Daytrip to Racha Yai Island start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Phuket within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Phuket?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Phuket experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Southern Flavors Phuket Food Tour with 15+ Tastings, James Bond Island by Big Boat w/ Sea Cave Canoeing and Lunch, Phuket Thai Cooking Class with Market Tour Option. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Phuket?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Phuket?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Scuba Diving Daytrip to Racha Yai Island?

    +

    Included: Private transportation; Snacks; Lunch; Tea and coffee; and Breakfast. Not included: Use of SCUBA Equipment $15 for the day. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Scuba Diving Daytrip to Racha Yai Island include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 299 listed pickup locations in and around Phuket. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Scuba Diving Daytrip to Racha Yai Island offered in?

    +

    It is offered in German, Thai, Chinese, English and Hebrew. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Scuba Diving Daytrip to Racha Yai Island?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Scuba Diving Daytrip to Racha Yai Island wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Scuba Diving Daytrip to Racha Yai Island if the weather is bad?

    +

    This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
