I'll be in Thailand the 1st week in June. I am very disappointed that this is the off season for diving, and thus I've been told the Similans is out of the question. I am thus left with 2 choices - please chime in on what you think I should do:
1.) Go on the Junk liveaboard with 4 days of diving in Phi Phi, Racha Ya, Racha Noi, shark point and Anenome Reef. Followed by 2 days of free time in Phuket (dive day boats)
2.) Tour Vietnam instead of the Liveaboard, then dive for 2 days on day boats from Phuket.
I've never been to Vietnam - however it doesn't seem as appealing to me as liveaboard diving. If it was the Similan Islands I would be an easy choice, but it being the rainy season I'm not sure the quality of diving is going to be good enough to be better than a Vietnam sidetrip. (keep in mind all of my diving has been Caribbean: Cozumel, Bahamas, Belize).
Thanks everyone -
