With its calm conditions and fascinating nocturnal marine life, this dive offers a truly unique and mesmerizing experience for all adventure-seeking divers.

While divers choose the destination, the specific dive sites are selected by our tour leader and boat captain based on sea conditions, wind, and safety considerations. Choices by the captain and tour leader are made to ensure the best and safest diving experience for everyone.

Shore dives at Kata Beach are available year-round, especially during the high season (November – May) when conditions are typically calm and clear. However, since beach dives depend on weather and sea conditions, we always evaluate safety before each dive. If conditions like strong waves or poor visibility make diving unsafe, we may need to reschedule or cancel the dive for your safety.
