Si Sunthon in Kathu District is a coastal town near Phuket that serves as a gateway for divers heading to the Andaman Sea. While it is not itself a major dive hub, nearby Phuket has a cluster of dive centers and accessible day trips to reefs, walls, and wrecks around the Andaman coast. Expect typical tropical Indonesian- or Thai-sourced reef life on surrounding sites, with easy access from the region for local or visiting divers. The town’s location provides convenient road and boat access to popular dive centers and charter boats operating out of Phuket and nearby ports.
