We have a 60ft/18m max due to my son being junior open water, and have been told by the dive shop that the more interesting critters are deeper than that. But I've also read that Richelieu Rock is one of the best sites in Thailand, and in my experience (450 dives Caribbean and Pacific) there is very little that can't be seen at our depth limit. My son is 13, has 33 dives, and is very big/strong for his age.
We will have two days of diving from Khao Lak in December on a privately chartered dive boat, so they will take us wherever we want. Planning to do the Similans the first day, and wondering if we should do Richelieu Rock the second, or maybe Koh Bon or Koh Tachai? Or just let them decide based on conditions?
Any advice is much appreciated!
