Robert Klein has been diving for more than 20 years in the area of   Phuket – Thailand. In 2005  he settled down in Kamala, Phuket. One of   the main reasons why Robert decided to open a dive shop in Kamala Beach –  Phuket – was the unique location and the charm and village feel of  Kamala Beach – very close to Surin Beach and Bangtao Beach. Phuket  is conveniently  located for the best diving in Thailand – all the well  known dive sites  and areas are relatively close – Phi Phi islands,  Racha islands, the  famous marine sanctuary with Phuket Shark Point,  Anemone Reef and the  King Cruiser Wreck. The national parks of Similan  Islands and the Surin  Islands are also easy to reach and therefore  Kamala, Phuket is a very  good starting point for diving on Phuket.

Why  Kamala Beach? Kamala is still a village. Kamala allows a diver to  do  what most divers dream of when thinking about diving in Thailand –  dive  and relax afterwards in a stress free environment.   Kamala is  surrounded by forested hills that are beautifully glowing in the sun  early in the morning. Fairytale comes to mind. The beach is  relatively  unspoiled unlike other busy areas on Phuket- there are no high-rise   buildings and no  huge shopping malls.  People stroll on the beach,   chase the crabs and enjoy the simple pleasures of life – the   small-scale shops and guest houses cater for the holiday maker in an  attentive and friendly  manner.

And the best of all that Kamala  has to offer – we have our own local dive sites along the west coast of  Phuket in front of the beaches of  Bangtao, Surin and Kamala. There  about 10 dive sites nearby – and visited only by a very few dive shops.  The feeling of being underwater and knowing that you won’t see another  diver’s bubbles is one of the most rewarding diving pleasures when  diving with Merlin Divers. The convenience of just walking out of the  back door of the dive shop – crossing the beach and hopping onto the  dive boat is unbeatable on Phuket. Boat rides of under 30 minutes is a  luxury as well on Phuket.

Where else on Phuket can you get that: A  dive trip which lasts 4 – 4½ hour and you will get to spend 2 hours  under the water. Plus we can have a maximum of 8 customers on the boat –  diving with friends – these are the personal touches that you get when  you dive with us.

If you have not discovered us yet – it is about  time – many divers think they know Phuket and Diving inside and out –  but wouldn’t have a clue what and where is Tin Lizzy or Tai Pau.
