Enjoy A Phuket Holiday And Add Some Great Dives As well
- Image via Wikipedia
Phuket has a new artificial coral reef and you can now enjoy great diving as part of your Phuket holiday.
The new diving site is located off Bang Tao Bay, in Phuket’s Talang district. In 16-18 meters deep water a fleet of old and unused aircraft which used to belong to the Thai airforce have been sunk into the sand bed about one kilometre away from the natural coral reef and Bang Tao Beach.
The sunken aircraft had been used heavily during World War I and the Vietnam War. This in a way, lends the diving site a great sense of historical value, apart from physical attractiveness.
So now on top of the great Phuket resorts, beaches, shopping and nightlife that can be enjoyed on
a Phuket holiday you can now add Phuket diving to the list of activities.

I love diving and go to exotic destinations all around the world, looking for great diving places.
I’ve never been to Phuket, so I’ll see whether I will be able to go there this year.
Thanks,
