Thai tips

[Graham Marrs]

Hi all

I am travelling next month to Thailand (from England) to start training to become a divemaster, and hopefully go pro. I have an elementary certificate with SSI but that was almost 10 years ago and I've only been diving twice since so to say I'm a little rusty is an understatement!! However I've still got the book they gave me and both times took to the water very easily again.
Anyway any advice on where to go, diveschool wise, as theres tons of them, and which islands to head to would be much appreciated, and also whether equipment should be bought here in the UK or over there, and any general tips about the area??

Much thanks
