About Sea Dragon
Dive Center
Every diver has different needs…and
often, it's the small things that matter
Established….
in 1993, Sea Dragon was the first Dive Center in Khao Lak. Originally we started
small, with just 5 sets of equipment, ten tanks and three staff, but we have continued
to expand at an amazing rate, year after year, thanks to the recommendations and
frequent return of our past customers. Open all year round and operating in a
beautiful area on the west coast of Thailand away from the hustle and bustle of
Phuket, our philosophy is that people come first and we take pride in giving personal
attention to the small things, the things that matter…
Owned
and managed…. by Sally (English) and Peter (Swiss), Sea Dragon
has an informal, friendly attitude, making you feel relaxed and at home as soon
as you enter our Dive Center in Khao Lak.
Our
experienced European and Thai Instructors and Divemasters together with our extensive
knowledge of the Similan & Surin Islands will ensure that you enjoy first
class diving at affordable prices.
Located
… on the west coast of Phang Nga province in southern Thailand, Khao Lak
and Thap Lamu harbour are the nearest departure points for the Similan Islands.
Only 1 hour north of Phuket International Airport, two hours north of Phuket town
and easily accessible by overnight bus from Bangkok, we are also on the route
for daily bus and minibus services from Krabi, Surat Thani, Ranong and Phuket
town.
Professionalism….
Sea Dragon is a PADI 5 STAR IDC DIVE CENTER - a member
of the world’s largest diver training agency.
We also sponsor DAN (Divers Alert Network) and are
affiliated with our local recompression chamber, SSS
Hyperbaric Services of Thailand, located in Phuket.
Sea Dragon is officially registered with the TAT (Tourist
Authority of Thailand) operators license no: 33/0608
and is a member of the TDA (Thailand Diving Association).
Experience…
we employ only qualified PADI Instructors and Divemasters,
speaking a variety of languages - including English,
German, French, Dutch, Swedish, Afrikaans and Thai.
Many of our staff return season after season and therefore
have logged hundreds of dives in the Andaman Sea.
Safety….
One of the most important points, for you - and for us. All our dive equipment
is purchased new and serviced regularly and all dives are planned to be well within
the recommended limits. We have full safety equipment at our Dive Center and onboard
all our liveaboard boats, including comprehensive medical kits and 4 oxygen rebreather
kits, giving 100% oxygen for at least 5 hours in the unlikely event of an emergency.
We
offer…. A choice of three different liveaboard trips
or a one day diving and snorkelling trip to the famous Similan and Surin Islands
of Thailand's Andaman Sea. Or maybe you want to learn to dive? We also provide
the full range of PADI dive courses from our Khao Lak 5 Star IDC Center, from
complete beginner through to Instructor. And we also operate three local day dive
trips - one to our nearby house reef and two to our two local tin mining wrecks,
both home to a collection of leopard sharks and regularly visited by large schools
of fish.
And another small point…. to save you the
hassle of carrying your heavy dive equipment with you, full diving equipment is
included in all our prices
