A variety of water sports are on offer. Choices vary from parasailing (hanging from a parachute while being towed from a speedboat), waterskiing, windsurfing, Jet Ski and inflatable "banana boat" rides to sailing and cruising.
Water Skiing :
Water-skiers can truly enjoy this sport particularly when the seas are generally calm and the surf slight in mid November on till May.
Sea Canoeing / Kayaking :
The most peaceful way and only way to enjoy the strange islets, narrow channels and mangrove forests.
Wind Surfing :
Boards may be rented by the hour, half-day, full day, or week at most major beaches.
Scuba Diving:
Phuket and its surrounding Andaman Sea have gained a reputation in international circles as one of the world’s top diving destinations. In Particular, most surveys rank the Similan islands – 90 km northwest of Phuket – among the world’s top ten! Instruction and equipment are available at the main beaches, with teachers of various nationalities. Beginner courses are inexpensive, so if you have never learned to scuba dive, Phuket is a great place to learn.
Snorkeling :
Phuket offers some of the world's most spectacular coral reefs, ocean drop-offs, and submerged pinnacles. The crystal clear water enables you to view colorful sea fans and soft corals for up to 100 feet. Equipment can be rented from dive shops all around the island.
Deep Sea Fishing:
Anglers have a choice of excellent facilities for big game fishing at Phuket, where it's almost guaranteed you'll catch a sailfish at the latter destination throughout the year.
Swimming :
Swimming at some beaches during the monsoon season is not recommended. Look for posted signs and flags indicating conditions for safe swimming; if the red flag is flying, do not go swimming in the ocean.
Sailing / Sea Cruises:
