Diving Korea & Thailand

[donostler]

Hi all,

Planning on a trip to Korea for a couple of days and then some time in Thailand....any suggestions on sites and outfitters?

Unless you are going to Cheju-do in July skip diving here....simply put: Korea SCUBA diving is cold and boring.

When are you planning a trip for???

There's a good outfit in Seogwipo on Cheju Island. It's run by a German guy who speaks English. I went March and it was a bit cold, but I really enjoyed it. I'd highly recommend trying it out. Here's the website http://www.bigblue33.co.kr/english/fr_introduction.htm

There's lots of diving here but I certainly wouldn't come here just to dive. My personal favourites are Dong Hae Island and Seokcho. Dong Hae won't be much good to you becaue the seahorses aren't there until august. Seokcho is a great option but a bit of a hassle to get to. The water is clean and clear there and it's really pretty in the spring because of all the kelp.

None of the diving will compare to Thailand and where you want to go there will depend on when you are travelling. The west coast is by far the best but not so great from mid april until the fall.
