Do you accept reservations over SB for a Trident dive? I missed the chance the last time I was on Koh Tao, but coming December - I'm diving the Unicorn!
yes we can take reservations, visit Tech Thailand or email me at jamie@techthailand.com.
not sure about the weather in Dec though.......

Hi, greetings from Krabi. I've never dived the Gulf, but I've never heard anything but indifference from divers who have come to us from Pattaya, Koh Samui or Koh Tao about the dive sites. This is not my oppinion, but theirs. They make their comparisons after diving with us around our local islands, Phi Phi and Shark Point. I agree totally with the comment about the Gulf and courses, it again reflects what I hear from our divers, especially on price. I have dived Similans by liveaboard and it's a must do!
Now I've just read the whole of the thread, instead of the first couple of pages! We must do something to stop Ao Nang becoming the next Patong, otherwise divers will go to Koh Tao...........

Now I know this thread is strictly Ko Tao or Phuket bashing, but I'll try and avoid that here, simply to say.....
4 whale sharks on the surface between Ko Doc Mai and Shark Point on Wednesday here in Phuket. The sun was shining, the seas were flat. At least 3 boats saw them, disgorged customers (who were WONDERFULLY well behaved) to snorkel for well over 45 minutes with various individual animals.
And people actually debate where to go?
Sorry, couldn't help myself!

Yes, and a bit earlier in the day lots of diving with them as well (4 you say Mick, my guests only saw 3 ).
They have been in the area for a few weeks now Batfish, so chances are good.

Four big spotty fish that move about all the time, versus 30 world class wrecks that stay where they should? ( apart from the vertical wreck that re-floated itself after 5 years sunk)
Koh Tao wins again .
By the way, we have big spotty fish all the time but don't make such a fuss

ok,granted, 30 'great wrecks' sounds better!
Bikini Atoll's diving operator has closed too, rising fuel costs - not competition from us.
our last Lagarto trip cost over 250,000 baht in diesel, what it cost to build my house 5 years ago
