I couple of weeks back I posted in the General Asia forum that I was in Singapore and looking to dive for the weekend before flying back to UK.
Had great advice and after a lead was hooked up with Quero ... booked for next week to do hop up to Phuket, join a 4 day 4 night Livaboard on Manta Queen to do Similans & Richelieu Rock.
Been bugging Marcia with Q's .. thought I'd also post these for some forum comments ...
Although done 200+ dives, mostly day boat /shore/rib diving, so never dived a Livaboard in warm waters ... 5 days on a converted Trawler in Orkneys (Scapa Flow) is a bit different to that.
Could do with some advice from those that have this experience ..
# 3mm shorty or 3mm full suit, which should I take ?
# How much / what should I take in way of clothes for the boat
# Tips ... how much is custom to tip for boat crew, how much is custom to tip the dive guide.
any other tips welcome.
