Sakhu

Sakhu is a coastal area in Phuket Province in southern Thailand, facing the Andaman Sea. It serves as a quiet gateway for divers exploring the Andaman Sea with several local dive sites within reach and a handful of small dive centers in the wider region. For active scuba travelers, the area offers access to boat departures and shore dives from nearby coastal towns, but Sakhu itself is not a major dive hub. Conditions are typical tropical, with warm water year-round, moderate currents at some sites, and reef and marine life common to the region. Expect a laid-back base for day trips to nearby reefs and occasional wrecks, depending on the season and local operators. As always, verify current site access, boat schedules, and local regulations with the dive centers you choose to work with.
