Scapa Flow live-aboard next week, plenty of cheese and chocolate,draft beer on board, no red-shirts, never thought I'd say I'm pleased not to be in Thailand.
You will love that. I hope you get good weather, the diving at Scapa is superb. No Curfew there either, Chonburi is one of the 23 provinces with the state of emergency enforced so all Pattaya bars, shops etc closed and everyone to stay indoors between 9pm and 5am, bundle of fun that is.
I waiting for confirmation of my flight back, early next week for my annual summer holiday, and also looking forward to getting some diving done. Lets hope all the nonsence is over soon. Pattaya is absolutely dead, very few tourists at all.
I hear Koh Tao is the same, my mates are worried they'll stop the ferries soon and that means no Heineken.
Are people observing the curfew? is the Marine Disco really, really shut?
Well. if my experiences are anything to go by, Shark Point is a terrible site.
I went there in 1989, i was promised good vis and sharks and we had neither, the waves were big, and the dive breifing was poor and i got lost. The food was too spicy, the boat was slow so we got there late and the DM said the other boats must have scared the sharks away.
And i lost my knife, if anyone finds it please let me know.
Don't know why I enjoyed the day regardless.....................
Didn't have internet forums to moan then, so I'm starting now.
Scapa Flow live-aboard next week, plenty of cheese and chocolate,draft beer on board.....
Just lets hope the curfew's finished by then.
The only "few" we have are tourists.
1989.
That was the year I came to Thailand.
When I was young and handsome and still had lots of hair.
You must be a really old fart then.
You should give Shark Point another chance. It's one of the few dive sites that actually has gotten better over the years.
Bring your speedos so you don't stand too much out of the crowd...
