Kamala

Kamala is a coastal town on Phuket Island in southern Thailand, serving as a gateway for budget-friendly diving along the Andaman Sea. It offers access to nearby dive boats and shore entries from local centers, with 18 documented dive sites in the surrounding region and several centers that run day trips and courses. The area features warm tropical waters, light currents, and typical Gulf of Thailand–Andaman Sea marine life; diving here is generally suitable for beginners to intermediate divers, with options for drift and reef dives nearby. While Kamala itself is not a major offshore dive hub, it provides convenient access to Phuket’s broader dive scene and popular nearby sites such as shallow reefs, pinnacles, and occasional macro life along the coast.
