Hi all,
Just got back from a week in Samui.
Only dived four days.
2 x Sail Rock
1 x Chumporn Pinnacles
1 x Marine Park.
Sail Rock was OK 15m viz som big schools of trevally(sp) , but nothing really to write home about.
Chuporn Pinnacles was nice , 30m viz , dark blue water and a ver curious school of about 50-60 Bat fish. But other than the Batfish and some big Snapper not as much marine life as I expected. Certainly no match for Richeliu Rock.
Marine park. I know there are lots and lots of dive sites here but the one I went to was only as good as the far Ilsands in Pattaya.
All in all, well worth going for the english commentary when the English stuffed the Argies (no appologies for upsetting anyone)
But I cant see me going back for a while. especially when you get DM's with 60-70 dives trying to tell me how to do a giant stride entry.
I was quite impressed with the way they insisted on seeing my card before letting me dive. That was a first.
Looking forward to Similans Surin in 5 weks time.
Any body up for Komodo in Sept?
Cheers
