For many places in the world where there is lots of scuba diving you can book a diving package. On Phuket to find a scuba diving packages is nearly impossible.

What is a diving package? Basically you pre-book a certain amount of scuba diving trips or days in a so-called package. The cost of a package is at the end cheaper than if you book all these days separately. The discount varies from dive destination to dive destination.
Typical dive destinations are some places in Egypt – the travellers basically only go there for the diving and otherwise there is nothing else to do – well except sunbathing.

Scuba Diving Package Phuket

On Phuket one of the main reasons for not really having dive packages is the fact there are so many other things to do then scuba diving.
A further reason for not having diving packages on Phuket is the fact that the majority of dive companies on Phuket do not operator their own boats. Renting spaces on the boats is one of the biggest cost factors for any dive operator and therefore the flexibility in offering good discounts is almost impossible with the aim of still making an acceptable profit.

The good thing for divers as a client should however also be mentioned:

• not happy with the first trip easy to change the dive shop
• weather not good enough the customers is free to wait for better conditions
• flexibility in general compared to a dive package: last-minute offer can be accepted or plans be can changed

Merlin Divers gets a decent amount of divers in the high season that do more than 5 days of diving. Even without real diving package available Merlin Divers can easily satisfy these divers by offering many different diving trips and tours of various length of duration.
