Keeping up with our tradition of spending Thanksgiving scuba diving in a tropical place, this year we are going to beautiful and exotic Thailand!

As always, we are taking advantage of the holiday and weekends, so that you only have to take three days off work, but go on a nine-day vacation to one of the most beautiful places on earth.

Our base will be Phuket, one of the best diving locations in the world. November is considered one of the best months for diving in Phuket, so this will be perfect! We will do six days of diving with mostly 3 dives every day, with an optional 7th day if you want to arrive one day early.

Here are the locations we are planning on diving:

Racha Yai-One of the most popular locations in Phuket, with over 10 dive sites to choose from for divers of all levels, with shallow bays plus reefs down to 80 feet.

King Cruiser Wreck- Formerly a car ferry, which sank over 20 years ago between Phuket and Phi Phi after hitting the top of Anemone Reef.

Shark Point- A submerged pinnacle of soft corals.

Koh DoK Mai- A limestone island that juts up steeply from the water.

West coast of Phuket- Koh Pu, Freedom Reef, and Secret Cliff, sites that very few people get to dive, because only private boats go there (keep reading to learn more about this one humongous advantage of our trip.

Phi Phi marine park- Yes, Phi Phi, one of the most famous places in the world, and a must-do dive site.

Racha Noi- Bigger fish, like Manta Rays, eagle rays, and big schools of barracuda. We may also find snappers, small barracudas, moray eels, triggerfish, butterfly, and bannerfish.

Anemone Reef- A stunning pinnacle covered in colorful anemone coral,

Mai Ton- Where we'll have the chance to see dolphins under water!

Night dives- We will also have the chance to do a few night dives from the shore! Seems like the perfect diving trip to me!

Now, a very special thing about our trip is that we are using one of the only three dive shops that owns a boat in Phuket. All of the other almost 100 dive shops in the island, actually put their divers in huge boats with 50 to 80 divers on it shared among several dive shops! So, although Phuket is still beautiful and the dive sites are still nice, your whole diving experience is not the same on a big boat full of people. Well, we will have our own boat, which not only will make our experience better and more relaxed, but we will have the chance to quickly move to the best locations.

And as if that wasn't enough, for our last day (non-diving because of flying the following day), we'll visit the famous Phi Phi Island (yup, the one from Leonardo Di Caprio's movie The Beach).

If you have someone to bring with you that is not a diver (wife, husband, kids, significant other, friends, etc.), we also have an out-of-this-world non-scuba itinerary, so you can go diving all the way until late afternoon while they are out doing amazing things too.
