Hiya!!

Fantastic pictures, thanks for sharing. I am going to go and check out this dive operation in Ranong, would you recommend them? Rach x

This is my first Songkran and I have just loved it. We are in a really local resort and the Bangkokians come down here to party. BRILLIANT!! I wonder if I could take this idea back to Romford, Essex and see if it will catch on!

Hope she gets a clean bill of health soon. You LDS sounds great, cherish them! Looking forward to hearing about how you (both) got your OW and are now completely hooked! Rach xx

Hiya! Welcome to ScubaBoard! Rach xx

hee hee, I thought I was the only one that did that.

I'm 150 miles from Bangkok, and have just come back up from the South. No problems here or down there. Just be sensible, you'll have no problems. Rach xx

I recently did an S.I. on a beach in Malaysia; I managed a bit of snorkelling as I waited for lunch to turn up. Suddenly about a dozen blacktip sharks arrived, coming into about a metre of water to investigate. They moved like silk, so graceful it was almost like a dance. I just stood among them...

It's pretty quiet for me too, just the bubbles. Unfortunately (for my buddy) I sing to the fish when the mood takes me, not sure how far that carries or how good it sounds through my reg! Guess this makes me a "dork diver"! :geek: Rach xx

Hello and welcome! Rach xx

I am still waiting for the opportunity to do my first night dive. Have to say that I am trying hard to push myself to do it. I know exactly where I want to do it and who I want to do it with, the prospect of the little night critters on the reef is making it easier to consider. You sound so...

No pics. Well, only of the snorkelling area and boats. No-one to take pics for me and my little camera only goes to 5m! The vis was not great as the current was bringing water from the mainland and that stirs it up a bit. It is usually better than that at this time of year (according to my...

This was all a lot simpler than I expected it to be. I emailed East Marine, they gave me a local contact number and the rep came to the hotel to take my booking. There is a pick up coach from the Ferrenghi Beach hotel area. In Georgetown you are close enough to walk or catch a public bus to...

Nice tattoo!

I have attached some info that East Marine sent me. They seem quite happy to arrange dives with only one day's notice, but because of my needing to come from Penang rather than Langkawi the booking will be non-refundable. Also (I think) the cost will be a little higher as it is a Penang...

I have sent them an enquiry email. I'll let you know what they say, otherwise I'll check out the other place. I'm going to be there in about 8 days or so; this means any info I get I can pass on to you!! Rach xx

LOL! When will you be there? Maybe we can meet up and get befuddled together!! Your link is to somewhere in Massachusetts. That is going to be one heck of a boat trip to get to Palau Payar!!:D I'm game if you are, I just may need to bring double my normal amount of cheese sandwiches! Rach xx

Hi Guys, I am going to be in Penang for a few days and am going to try to fit in a day's diving. I have only managed to find one operator that provides a package out to Pulau Payar, price is reasonable but I don't know which dive centre they work with (if any). They are called Langkawi...

Try Master Divers, small operation. Very friendly and personal service. Max group numbers of 4, definitely not a "dive factory". They helped me get some cheap accommodation as well, a few hundred yards from the shop. Clean, simple room with A/C .... all you need! ;) Master Divers Dive Centre...

Thanks for this, I have saved a copy to read later. Rach
