Hi all. My 10 year old and I are interested in diving in Thailand (we will be spending about 12 days in the South in the second half of December). Neither of us are experienced. In fact, we've only went diving once..in Belize. I may try to get certified or at least the elearning/pool done before arriving in Thailand.
I was hoping for recommendations for dive shops in Southern Thailand, both for day trips, as well as for liveaboards. I would be very interested to do a live aboard to Similan islands, but from speaking with one tour agency (Khaolak Scuba Adventures), it seems that we don't meet the reqs to do the liveaboard because we aren't certified and they go to depth that aren't appropriate for a 10 year old.
