One thing that is a must when in Patong is diving. The waters are crystal clear and the sea life is unforgetable. Even if you haven't gone diving before and don't have a license, there are dives for beginners where a dive instructor accompanies you on the dive and you only decend to a depth of 14 meters. On the day, a bus picks you up from the hotel, and takes you to a big boat and you're served lunch on the boat. You return to Patong in time to take an evening stroll along Patong beach.
My first ever dive was in Phuket and after that dive I fell in love with it. Now I'm an advanced diver with at least 30 dives under my belt. Ive diven in several countries but the thai dives are by far the best.
If you're scared of the water, like I was on my first dive, I still suggest you try it because once you jump into the water with all your gear, you're too busy thinking about all your gear, remembering the steps, and trying to understand your instructors hand signals that you forget completely about big sharks, etc...
