Curious about scuba diving costs in Thailand? We’ve compared Koh Tao, Phuket, Krabi, and Khao Lak to reveal the averages. Koh Tao’s the cheapest—think 2,000 THB discovery dives—due to proximity and competition. Phuket’s pricier (4,500 THB and up) with luxe liveaboards to Similan. Krabi and Khao Lak fall in between, offering value and variety. Whether it’s a fun dive, course, or multi-day trip, this guide simplifies your options so you can dive in without overspending.

This comprehensive guide will be unlike anything else on the internet, providing an in-depth look at the unique liveaboard experiences Thailand has to offer.
