Phuket Recommendation

I'm planning a trip to Thailand in February 2010 and want to get in some diving in Phuket. I only have 2 days to devote to diving. Can anyone recommend a dive shop and must-see dive sites? The dive boat must be non-diver friendly.

Also, a recommendation for a convenient place to stay (not luxury but not backpacker either) would be appreciated. Thanks for any replies.

Hey Bob,

Mate i did my open water course in Phuket earlier this year. I used Eden Divers they are on the main road in Patong . Great dive place and have there own boat. I have stayed at the C& N Hotel in patong the last 2 trips over. Not to luxury but not a backpackers and pretty cheap and includes breakfast.
