There are 3-4 dive shops off the beach in Nai Yang Beach. So, take a stroll and check them out. You can dive on Ko Weo and the Tin Mine Wreck from the long tail boat, other than that, all of the dive sites are just below average. One day trip from the long tail should be enough. To book day trip...

A couple of suggestions for your domestic flights. If you have a membership with Star Alliance, fly Thai Air domestically (RT from BK-Phuket approx. 200$), and tell them that you are connecting after a Thai int'l flight with your sports gear (diving). Unless you are 10-20 lbs. over, they will...

Hey Flashman, your original post was very well written and clear on what you are looking for. So, all you need to do is follow through with your expectation and go find it. Since you will be in Koh Tao, and also visiting Phuket for a liveaboard trip, why not take a day out and go meet the...

Dash, some suggestions for diving plan. February & March are the best diving months in West Coast of Thailand. Phuket is your best place to get some world class diving in, and very convenient to get to from Bangkok (20 flights daily). Consider putting aside 5 days and do a 4d/4n liveaboard to...

our friends coming to Phuket every year from LAX via China Airlines. They are one of the lowest price option for the trans-pacific flight, you also may want to look into EVA Air, also out of Taiwan, though I think they fly out of Seatle. If connecting in Bangkok to Phuket, Bangkok Air is one...

Try the Northern beaches of Phuket. Nai Yang Beach has quiet resort & spas, clean beach, and snorkeling is just a couple of minutes from shore. Aqua Divers in Nai Yang can provide you with quick daytrip dives, they use longtail boat & Diving Design Speedboat to dive site. Travel time is about 30...

I wonder maybe if you are thinking of going to Thailand instead of Taiwan? Taiwan is not known for diving, and is located to the East of China, where condition is usually cold and gray. Thailand, in southeast Asia is a tropical destination, with much to enjoy and explore, from majestic...

Hi TX101, Ditto about liveaboard trip as Tommer & Sunrise stated above! I would be very surprise if all of the daytrip boats are fully booked in November, don't remember it every happened in the last 5 years, so no worries! Also, if you do 3 or more trips with the same operator or company...

Go diving! You can contract more diseases from just breathing air in a city while walking around... Please ignore the strange info posted by the media, the Adaman Sea is as normal as ever.

Just an FYI about visibility... A crappy day in Phuket, you can see 5-10 meters and enough fish and marine life to distract you from the first breath. and you might get a dive site with just 10 or more divers, as compared to peak season where hundreds dropped in to share with you... If you...

Don't over pay the cost for diving in Phuket! You can book your daytrips once you are on the island since there are enough boats to cater to hundred of divers per day, unless you like to have a private dive guide for your dives, then book in advance. As Sunrise wrote above, your trip price...

Hello Karen, There are so many dive shops and centers in Phuket, you will have a bit of difficult time deciding on which to do your course. I also noticed that you are planning your trip for October, just an FYI from a local here in Phuket, the first 10-14 days of October is ugly weather...

Hi Jen, Phuket is fine during the time you are traveling in Thailand. July/August are usually very good weather, and you probably will end up with a course where you'll have an instructor to yourself. If you are dropping into Phuket, lmk maybe I can do your courses if my schedule...
