Any suggestions for a good shop to do my open water course in or around Phuket in mid-August?
 
In August you will find cheap accommodation almost everywhere on Phuket, with most choice and most backpacker staying in Kata.

For a good shop: :D
 
Any suggestions on hotels? Also, can you tell me how much it would be to do an advanced open water course?
 
Nice place and affordable is Kata Minta, close to the beach. Directly on the beach is Kata Delight. But there are many more, lots of affordable bungalows.

Advanced Course will be around 10,000 Baht including 5 boat dives, certification, manual, etc.
 
jrlevin,

Well there you go, Stevenl runs a shop in Kata and Ringo, a frequent poster on this forum runs another shop in the same area, so plenty of choice.

Happy diving.

I can thoroughly recommend a the Phuket Scuba Club - they have a shop in both Kata and Karon and are the most professional and friendliest dive club and shop I had the good fortune to come across whilst I was out there earlier this year and I have heard nothing but good reviews on their courses. Worth giving them a go first. They may also be able to give you info on accommodation too. :)
 
Have to agree with tjmarjoram, Phuket Scuba club would be a great place to look for all your needs. Lots of other great schools in the area but start with them first they will be very helpfull.
