Fish out of Water
Hello fellow divers. I'm planning a trip to Phuket in December. As always, I look to scubaboard for advice. We have 9 days in Thailand, although that could potentially be increased a tiny bit.
Anyway, I am looking for beach-front accommodations on a budget. Actually, I'll sleep anywhere, but my fiancee wants beach front. I can dig it. Naturally, wherever we stay needs to be accessible to local diving.
I also wonder what kind of options exist for budget diving. Based on the recommendations I've seen here so far, the diving prices seem to fall into a fairly narrow range. Does anyone have recommendations for a shop that is particularly budget oriented but still decent?
Finally, sometimes the best advice is to get out. It seems like we have enough time to transfer somewhere else, is it worth taking the time to get out Phuket (either for budget reasons or because there's diving elsewhere that can't be missed)?
