    Hi all, Looking to build a nice, neat way to store our shop's regulators in the equipment room- any suggestions on the best way to do this? Pictures would be nice!

    Distance from compressor to tanks - does it make a difference in speed of fill?

    It's in the title really; i've been told our compressor is filling more slowly than expected because the tanks are too far away from it, something i've never heard before. Does anyone have experience in this please? Is it really the case? Thanks guys, i'm very new to compressor stuff so any...

    Similan/Richelieu in late October

    You can often get some great walk-in deals that time of year, as the boats are half empty. Usually the DMs haven't worked our where the more elusive creatures are lurking yet, but as long as the weather holds up then you should be fine with last minute booking. If weather is bad it's a great...

    Koh Samui/Phangan/Tao in April 2020

    I usually dive with Big Blue Diving, they have trips to all sites around the island and a great location on the nicest part of Sairee beach. They also have Sail Rock trips when the dive conditions are good there, rather than every day or so regardless of conditions like one of the places...

    Thailand diving end of June

    That's a good time of year for whaleshark sightings around Koh Tao. There's also a better chance of good weather than the Andaman side of the country

    When does a dive centre get investigated?

    Hi all, Is there a limit to how many accidents a dive centre can have before SSI/PADI etc take away their licence or investigate the possibility? There's a place i'm aware of that are more than a little lax when it comes to safety...

    Fear and Loathing in the Gulf of Siam

    If you ever have to do that swim again take a very close look at the sand you're crossing, it's one of the my favourite places in the Gulf for nudibranch, cuttlefish, stick pipefish and porcupinefish. They usually hang around the chains and piles of rope left abandoned out in the sand.

    Krabi, Koh Tao or Phuket?

    I'd be nervous about my dive equipment if you take the night train, unless you book the private cabin which can be locked. Flying in to Chumphon or Suratthani will be a lot easier, i'd say. Check Nok Air, Air Asia and Thai Lion for flights.

    Krabi, Koh Tao or Phuket?

    The Thais don't celebrate Easter, and April is low season. I got that from living here for many years.

    Krabi, Koh Tao or Phuket?

    It may be worth checking the weather a few days before you go if you choose the Phuket/Lanta option, and not booking anything in advance (it's low season then anyway, so nowhere will be full i'd guess) - as others have said April is the start of the wet season on the Andaman side, i had a...

    Koh Tao is... Death Island!

    Well there's certainly someone dead wrong around here, and he looks like a fat vampire.

    Koh Tao is... Death Island!

    More rubbish from Ian Yarwood, i wonder what his real problem is with Koh Tao.
