About Merlin Divers Phuket

Kamala's beachfront dive shop, with a big gear store and something few others offer: half-day boat dives at the quiet west-coast sites off Kamala, Surin and Bang Tao, at most eight divers aboard. The usual Racha, Phi Phi and King Cruiser days and high-season Similan liveaboards fill out the list.
