Morning light slices between limestone teeth as the speedboat pushes off Phuket’s mariner edge and the Andaman Sea opens like a promise. Salt and diesel mix in the air as the islands grow—towering cliffs appear first, then the shallow, fluorescent green of Pileh Lagoon. On a full-day tour, the rhythm is boat-engine, dive, sun, repeat; water dares you to cool off and reefs push colors up to meet your mask.
