Thailand
Amphoe Kathu
The Kathu district sits inland from Phuket's west coast within the Andaman Sea region. Diving within this administrative area is limited; most notable diving in the broader Phuket region occurs along the coast and around offshore isles. Access is via Phuket's airport and road network, with Phuket Town and nearby beaches serving as hubs for gear, transport, and day trips toward popular dive sites. For divers, the surrounding province offers reefs, walls, and macro life, but within Kathu itself the dive options are not extensive, so many visitors plan trips to coastal areas for boat dives to the Andaman Sea's reefs and wrecks.
