Hi all,
I've gotta meet up with my buddy from HK. There are 3 of us together on the trip, 2 from UK, 1 from HK. We're looking for a good spot/liveaboard to dive in June. Could anyone please recommend some good spots for diving in June, based on the information below?
Who are we?
* 2 very experienced divers (100s of dives)
* 1 advanced (80+ dives)
What we would like to see:
* We're interested in larger pelagics: whalesharks, whales, sharks, dolphins, mantas etc
* We're interested in uncommon critters: macro, octopus etc.
What for?
* Photography
* Amazing diving
Logistics:
We would like the travel to be somewhere between HK and UK if possible, but would consider other destinations.
Ideals:
* Good visibility
* Warm waters
* Decent surroundings (e.g. things to do apart from diving), but as we're also looking for liveaboards we're happy for landbased activities to take a miss.
Suggestions so far:
* Mozambique (shore based diving), big pelagics and opportunity for a safari afterwards
* Maldives liveaboard, possibly bad visibility and bad conditions?
* Indonedia - I've already been to Komodo and Gilis so I'd like to avoid if possible
* Thailand - I've been to Koh Tao a few times, but not dived much in the Andaman sea. Depends on the season I guess?
Concerns:
* Bad weather, bad visibility, cold waters, bad conditions. As we're all taking photos, we'd like to focus more on photography and less on strong currents
No gos:
* Egypt - too far from HK
Thanks!
