my first time in thailand, dove 9 dives
day #1 - kata beach, karon rock, ko pu (all near the shore)
day #2 - shark point #2, anemone reef, kata beach night dive
day #3 - king cruiser, shark point #1, ko doc mai
I saw lots of fish, soft coral, nudibranchs, sea horses, ghost pipefish, lionfish, sea snakes, eels, etc.
lots more photos and info can be found here:

I enjoyed all the dive sites alot, although the vis at karon rock was quite bad. most dive sites were quite crowded. shark point #1 was by far the best site I thought. Anemone reef was beautiful. let me know if anyone has any specific questions about diving out of phuket, I've learned a lot while I was here. I'm off to the similan islands tomorrow.
ok, sorry the dive report was so short! let me know if anyone wants any further information.
btw, I did my shore dives and booked my boat dives with Steve (stevenl on scubaboard) (www.phuket-scuba.com), I was very happy with that choice. in phuket its important to get honest info on dive sites, quality of boats & DM's, etc. steve was great in that respect, and his divemast kop was excellent in finding marine life I never would have found (e.g. - sea horses, ghost pipefish).
