Hello,
I have recently qualified as a PADI Open Water Diver (Sept 08) and am planning to do my AOW off Ko Tao at the end of January. I hope to be able to do a few fun dives after completing the course.
Would like to then go across to the Andaman Coast to dive the Similan (and possibly Surin) Islands, Richelieu Rock, Hin Daeng, Hin Muang and Ko Phi Phi. Will probably dive these from Phuket as that seems to be the cheapest option.
Would be interested to hear everyone's thoughts regarding dive sites, whether live aboards are the best options and what sort of prices I should expect. I am on a v-e-r-y tight budget and don't mind cramped living conditions where live aboards are concerned, as long as the people are friendly etc.
Any tips re: Thailand to do with diving, hostels, travel etc are very much appreciated!
Thanks
Jay
