Hey folks,
I searched through the threads and there's plenty of information on this topic but I can't nail down a location.
I'm in Thailand for three weeks from the 23/07/18-13/08/18, a week of which I'm planning to spend diving.
I've been to Thailand before and spent a week diving on Koh Tao which I actually enjoyed, especially trips to Sail rock and Chumphon pinnacle.
Having looked through the info on here, It seems to be that the Andaman coast pips the gulf in terms of quality, even though I know areas will be closed whilst I'm there.
Is it still worth the trip? Are the closed areas the best dive spots? Would I be better heading back to Koh Tao and getting some Sail Rock/ Chumphon pinnacle dives in again for the chance of seeing something special?
If it is still worth going to the Andaman over Koh Tao, where should I be based for the best diving at that time of year?
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks
