Hello
I'm getting really confused with looking at hotels with PADI Dive Schools OR booking the diving independantly from a dive website in Thailand.
My girlfriend and I are thinking of staying in Phuket, but am not sure now having heard how busy it gets for diving! We are both beginners and Open Water certified.
I've heard Koh Tao is a good site, but my dilema is do we book the hotel then the dive package there? or can a dive website recommend and help us with hotel reservations? (our local travel agents haven't a clue about the dive sites on offer at hotels).
We hope to spend 3 days in Bankok, then 10 days on a beach resort to do lots of diving and include a 2 day liveaboard trip to the Similans if possible.
We are trying to work out the best way to do this and would appreciate any advice!
thanks
