My only choice for diving and staying when in Koh Lanta. D&R will give you a boat brief a few minutes before 0900 on the beach in from of Lanta Castaway. Koh Haa and Phi Phi are both about 30-40 minute ride from the beach. Never entered the water later than 1000. Surface interval they serve...
I can concur with that. I visit Koh Lanta 2-3 times per year. I usually dive with Dive and Relax which happens to depart from the beach directly in front of my hotel at 0900. Travel time to Koh Haa is about 30 minutes, Koh Bida(Phi Phi) about the same or maybe a few minutes more. Checking my...
Rain and wind having limited or no effect on visibility may be true, but...........................
It can affect boating to and from sights. Last year in July I was in Koh Lanta for about two weeks. it was the low season so many dive centers were closed for the season. There was one dive boat...
I almost drank the 'support the LDS' completely, but I had to spit the kool aid out.
I recently deployed here to Kuwait, and there are not many options here as far as dive gear is concerned. I was even told by a local dive op that ordering online from the states would probably be the best...
I wasn't certified for diving at the time so my only option was snorkeling. Late 2007, I made two separate trips to Curacao for work. Both trips were 45 days plus, and I worked evenings. That gave me plenty of time in the morning to snorkel.
My first trip we stayed at Breezes Curacao, and they...
I went on a trip with the Mermaid boat, and even though I didnt dive, I was not very happy with the way the company operates their excursion.
My feedback is with a thread about Klein Curacao here>> http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/abc-islands/206372-klein-curacao-trip-report.html

I never said there werent any LDS's in the area, I just said they really werent an option. Only one of those three listed really had any sort of selection of gear and I did make my purchase of essential gear from them. I bought a set of fins, a mask, booties, a snorkel and a dive gear bag. I...
Currently I am in Kuwait and LDS is not really an option for me. A local dive shop I used in the states also has an online store and attempted to use them trying to still support the LDS while out of country. That didnt work well and after about a month ended up having to cancel the order. Funny...
Most ATM machines will give you the option to draw money in Guilder or Dollar format. The advantage to getting it dispensed in dollars is your bank wont charge you an international conversion fee.
Most of the smaller stores are cash only so it is good to keep a bit of cash with you.

I dont know. I made several trips to Ecuador for extended work trips(59 days and 35).
I took the doxocycline as directed without skipping a beat. Maybe I had a slight case of malaria while down there and attributed it to having too many drinks in the casino the night before, or eating...
And taking anti-malarial medication isnt a guarantee you wont get it either.
I had a blood test recently and it had shown evidence that I had malaria in the past, even though I took the meds religiously.
I dont recall being deadly sick from it, but it was probably diagnosed as something...
Little Knip for the water, and Big Knip for the scenery.

It seems that there isnt much information online that is up to date with what is in the area. How does one find an individual instructor in my particular area?
I didnt know Zen was an instructor, but I do have a pending IM sent her way.
True, but if there is an appearance that the company...
