Staying at Burasari (Patong). Which is the most convenient dive center to use?

[Eskasi]

Hi there, I will be going to Phuket early October and will be staying at the Burasari hotel on Patong beach. Can someone tell me what the most convinient (and decent) dive center I can use? I am only looking to dive for 2 days.

What kind of vis can I expect in early october? I ask because I take photos and would like to plan lens choices accordingly too.

Thanks!

Most boats leave from the same spot on the island, so it doesn't matter.

Thanks for that info.....do most dive centers organize pickup from the hotel?

ALL dive centers will include pick up from the Burasari for all dive trips. If you are doing day trips, pick up time is around 7:30 - 8am depending on the trip. Early october - weather might not be the best, as around that time is when the seasons change and weather is a real mixed bag. Visibility will depend on dive site - at Racha Noi can be 30m plus. At the King Cruiser Wreck can be 5m on a bad day. Have fun!
