Hi there,
Just looking for a bit of advice; I'm looking to go and learn to dive in Thailand in January. I've not started any of the PADI courses yet put have done an introduction to diving course at home and really enjoyed it.
I've heard that the visibility is best on the west coast this time of year, can anyone reccomend somewhere in/near Phuket for me to do my open water and advance? I've heard Ko Tao is cheap, would I be better learning there and then travelling across to the west? (Apologies if that is a ridiculous suggestion, just want to make my money go as far as possible without scrimping on the sort of teaching I would be getting!)
Also on where to stay? Once I've got the quallies under my belt I'd like to go and do a similan liveaboard so any tips on that would be great too!
Cheers,
G
