Hi,
My friend & I were originally planning to go to Koh Tao this weekend to dive. I haven't dived since I got my open water 2 years ago. So was going to get Advanced Open Water. She is only certified 12m open water. And so the plan for her was to be certified 18 m open water & do some adventure dives. This is what a Koh Tao dive operator suggested based on our timeline.
But after hearing about the flooding going on at Koh Samui/Tao, it looks like it might not be a good time to go this weekend. So after some research, I learned about Koh Chang might be a nice place to go for a relaxation, beach vacation. And there is some diving there.
So I wanted to ask how does Koh Chang diving compare to Koh Tao. Is it worth it to dive in Koh Chang, even at only 18 m Open Water? Is there stuff to see to be worthwhile to get my Advanced Open Water?
Are there any recommendations for dive operators at Koh Chang?
I don't know anything about good dive sites in general, so thank you in advanced for your suggestions! Hope to be able to go diving with these changes of plans.
Thanks!
