South Andaman Liveaboard

[Buadhai]

Last season White Manta did a one-off, end-of-season trip to the South Andaman. I had a great time with some fine diving. Unfortunately, it appears that the trip will not be repeated in 2014.

Is there any vessel that will do a South Andaman liveaboard trip this coming season, or during next year's off-season?

IMO this is the best value for money option there at the moment.

 

[Buadhai]

Thanks Steven. I will keep that in mind.

I must be dense, because I can't get that website to work for me.

I get to this page: South Andaman liveaboard information - Thailand Liveaboards, liveaboard scuba diving Similans, South Andaman and Phuket Thailand

which has four drop-down menus at the bottom; but they never do anything.

For example, if I go to Price Range B and select Boat #3, nothing happens.

What am I doing wrong? (I've tried both Safari and Chrome for Mac.)

 

[stevenl]

No idea, it is working for me. Maybe pop-up blocker, because it would open a new screen? I would be very interested to know though.

 

[Buadhai]

Yes, it's because of popup window blocking. Your javascript uses window.open which is blocked by most popup blockers.

Since so many people use popup blocking you might want to use a hidden division or iframe or some other method of displaying individual boat pages.

Frankly, I think the drop down menus are kind of confusing. Why not just have a table with links in each cell (and target = "_blank") and with descriptive column heads for the relative boat pricing.

——————————————————————————————
| cheap | moderate | luxury |
——————————————————————————————
| boat 1 | boat 1 | boat 1 |
——————————————————————————————
| boat 2 | boat 2 | boat 2 |
——————————————————————————————-

Thanks, I'll look into the javascript.
We have links also on this page, Liveaboard boats information - Thailand Liveaboards, liveaboard scuba diving Similans, South Andaman and Phuket Thailand, and thanks for the drop down menu suggestion, I'll think about it.

 

[Buadhai]

Ah, yes, that's the page I wanted! Thanks. Now I feel quite lame.

I'll study that and get back to you.

 

[stevenl]

No worries, as I said, I'll look into your suggestions.

Hi,

Scuba Cat offer a 3 day and night trip to the south Andaman regularly during the high season. 11 dives and nitrox available if you want it.

I am booking a trip on the Scubacat Scuba Adventure in February (both north and south). Finding this trip for me was one of the last things Quero did.
I think it looks like a very nice op and she recommended them highly.
