Is there any airline with Asian flights between Tehran (Iran) and Phuket that provides a special facility for divers to not pay an extra fee for their heavy diving equipments? I have heard something like this for divers who have their equipment with themselves for first time and for the second time and more they have to pay extra fees!

Any Asian flight would be OK. The flight does not need to be non-stop.

I checked the Wikipedia entries for Tehran Airport and Phuket Airport, but I think the direct flight from IKA-> HKT on Mahan Air has been terminated.

That works in your favor, in my opinion, as Qatar Airways seems most friendly to divers. You can fly from Tehran to Phuket via Doha.

From the Qatar Airways website:

Qatar Airlines:

Qatar Airways allows extra baggage allowance only for the below listed sporting equipments... Regardless of class of travel, an additional complimentary 10Kgs will be allowed...

Scuba Diving Equipment: Which consists of suit, vest, socks, mask, shoes, torch, webs, knife, oxygen cylinder and a regulator. Diving cylinders must be empty.
