Anyone recommend a family friendly resort for day trip diving with
excellent, safe child care facilities for a 13, 10 and 8 year old?
Possibly the 13 year old will learn to dive.
Thanks

Allamanda at Laguna Phuket - they also do good suites with multi rooms.
 This is cool as you can have a lounge and set stuff up and they have a
lot more space.  Kata Thani/Kata Bhuri (latter is more kid friendly,
same place though - sister resort with shared facilities), good dives
right off the beach or longboat 5 mins.

If hotel units then Laguna Beach at Laguna Phuket is probably the best
place in Phuket for kids.  Great pool, water slide, loads of activities.
 Bit more expensive but not much.

Bear in mind unless the odd beach dive (as said Kata is ok) day dive
means DAY dive - 8 hours would be a decent average.  90% is boats away
from Phuket.  Child care in Phuket in my experience is very good.  I
have been there about 6 times in 2 years - live in Singapore - the Thais
love children - this can also be said for Bali which would be an
excellent alternative.

By the way - all the places mentioned do try out dive in their pools in
case your eldest wants to give it a go.  To be honest, that is likely
true of a lot of decent hotels in Phuket.  There are a HUGE number of
operators there and most hotels are affiliated with someone.  You may
want to consider the diving you want as well - pay more for a speedboat
or be convenient but boat load of OW divers and a lot of trainees.
