diving in august

[locomotionling]

From now and 3 weeks ahead i have got my hands on some time
so i thought that it might be an exellent time to do some diving.
my problem is that i dont really know where to go. What i am after is some place with a lot of marine life. the bigger the better. whalesharks, mantarays, sharks.
i like big

my first thaught was Thailand but it seems that it is not the season right now.
I wanted to go on a liveaboard but there dont seem to be any boats going out.

so. where in the world will i have to go to be able to experience what i want this time of year?

I am extremely thankful for all the help i can get.

So many places, so little time. To help narrow it down, can you tell us a little more about you...

Where are you located, how experience of a diver are you and how far are you willing to travel?

 

[KazooDiver]

and how much $ are you willing to spend!

Palau and Bahamas come to mind for sharks
Costa Rica for mantas, rays and sharks
Isla Holobox,MX and Donsol, Philippines for whaleshark SWIMS.

oh! great! a lot of helpful people here, whell. i am not very experienced at all, i took my certificat about 2 years ago in India where i went on 12 dives. since then i havent had any time or money. I am Located in Sweden and i am willig to travel as long as it takes.
considering money. I shouldent really spend too mouch becuase i am mooving very soon and i have a lot of stuff i need to buy for that but whell....if it sounds dangerously tempting i might just consider sleeping on the floor a couple of months

So far the whaleshark SWIMS sounds like just the thing to make me sleep on the floor. can you please tell me moore about that?
that sounds extra good becuase i really would like to go to Asia too.

yes that is why I said WS SWIMS not WS dives.

WS swims are pretty basic you drive around in the boat until you find one on the surface, then in you go with snorkle gear.
