hey there. I’ll be backpacking around Thailand for a while but will be settling on Ko Phangan for a few weeks to visit friends. I am a PADI MSDT and am hoping to possibly teach some courses. I dive mostly sidemount and teach it as well. Is it worth bringing my SM gear? Should I just bring a...

I was able to come across a few Pharaoh Cuttlefish while I was in Thailand. I've compiled what I observed into a short video with a few fun facts. I shot this on a Gopro Hero 4 with Backscatter filters and Sealife Sea Dragon video lights.

I was able spend a few days in December diving in the North Andaman Sea. I observed a lot of octopuses in the reefs. I put together a short video highlighting my observations.

Hello, Sorry if this has been covered but I've not found it in my searches. We are in Thailand after much travel from the US for the first of two cruises I booked on the same liveaboard boat. After dinner we found out from another guest that after much prodding he'd just found out the boat was...

I'm planning a Similians liveaboard for November or December. I've been reading about poor reef health and lack of fish in Thailand. Has anyone dove in the Andaman sea from 2016 to present and can comment on which sites are healthiest? Are Burma/Myanmar sites more dead then Thai sites? Thanks!

My wife and I will be coming to Thailand for a month in November. Our main objective is to do a lot of diving. The only thing is my wife gets motion sickness, so we hope to find a place where we can dive that has the shortest boat trips to get to the dive sites, or that has shore dives...

I am heading to Koh Lanta at the end of November and was looking for a good dive shop to do some diving with. We are specifically looking to do Hin Daeng and Hin Muang. Has anyone had a nice experience with any shop in particular?

Hey guys, I haven't dived in three years and wanted to refresh it a bit. I'm staying at the Wailailak university for a couple of days for my work and was wondering if there was a diving school nearby? Cheers and thanks ahead! Theola

In terms of tourism, the seasons in Thailand can be divided into 2: The dry season and the wet season. Most divers come to Thailand during the dry season for obvious reasons. But what is diving really like during the rainy season? Is it even possible to dive in Thailand during the rainy...
