When you try something underwater for the first time, you can experience two emotions at the same time: excitement and nervousness. You may well love the idea of seeing colourful fish and coral, but you may still wonder what it would be like to actually breathe under the surface. Phuket provides a relaxed atmosphere where the novice can learn comfortably with professional help close at hand. The warm water, the different places to dive and that it's all for a beginner makes it less scary. Scuba diving in Phuket for beginners is not about going deep or showing bravery.
