There are several dive shops, make sure you get a bargain. Take the trip over to the Phi Phi islands, some of the most gorgeous diving Ever!!

Several dive shops? You're not wrong there. But bargain hunters should be aware of getting what you pay for. Best diving Ever for me would be the Similan Islands, and also Hin Daeng.
Enjoy your stay

You get what you pay for. The Similans are excellent divers, just as Hin Daeng, both preferably by liveaboard (trips starting at 2 days/1 night), or by daytrip.
Also the 'standard' daytrip sites are good diving, and definately worthwhile.
Just check out some of the dive operators, plenty of choice, but big differences in service.

Bill you're in a great part of the world and I am very very jealous, esp as there's snow and gales forecast for our diving up here in scotland on saturday. Hope you enjoy thie diving.

Howdy!
And welcome to SB - the biggest, the best, the fastest growing, and the friendliest! If you'll simply click ScubaBoard.com above, you'll be taken to our long list of forums, a wealth of information and resources. My favorite is at the bottom: Singles Dive Club.
Your Intro was moved to the Asia forum for better coverage on your locale, but you are welcome in almost all of our forums.
It would help in future diving discussions if you'd complete your Profile with location - and seperately - your Dive Info. You can use the Quick Links above to reach those easily. Sizing a photo for your profile or Avatar can be a challenge; I'm a fumbling amateur, but I get the job done, if you'd like any help?
PM me if I can help you learn your way around; that is - click my username to the upper left, then follow the prompts to send me a "Personal Message."

WELCOME to ScubaBoard!!!
I hope to see your posts everywhere as
I weave aimlessly throught he threads.
I need inspiration to revise my stock message. Maybe if I read over may last couple hundred welcoming messages. Hmm. Maybe.
This is a great place to meet people, talk about diving, and get information on just about any aspect of diving -or other subjects sometimes- that you can think of. Roaming through the forums is great help for me.
Now get wet with us and dive into the forums to ask questions, answer those that you can and even chat with folks about diving dreams and nightmares. ScubaBoard is a great place to spend your required Surface Intervals.
When you post a question, be as sure as you can that it's in the right forum or you'll probably find it moved.
The folks here are passionate about their diving, some about their specialty, so the reading can get very interesting, sometimes very hot.
Don't forget, if you haven't already done it, to fill out you profile as completely as reasonable, it'll save you being asked and having to repeat the information often.
Enjoy!
Tom
