Wow.....what a DB
OK, so I have clicked PURCHASE on almost everything pertaining to our flights and resorts within Thailand.
We will have 13 nights at The Ancient Real Resort on Koh Lanta. We arrive on Koh lanta after flying from Toronto to Phuket, 1 night in Phuket and then 4 nights in Kao Sok. Following our 13 nights on Koh Lanta, we have 3 nights in Bangkok before our long flight home.
What dive operators do you recommend on Koh Lanta? The resort recommended Dive Lanta because they are reasonably close in proximity. I am only looking to do 4 or 5 day trips because the rest of the time will be spent topside. I am a reasonably experienced 300+ dive AOW Nitrox diver (comfortable in most conditions) and my GF is an OW diver that does not get under very often (basically a warm water vacation diver). I have accepted that the best sites are Liveaboard access only, so we will be getting the rest of the sites. That is OK. I just want a good operator that will pick suitable sites and let us do a bit of our own thing if wanted. I am a photographer (wannabe) so taking pictures becomes a big part of my dives. For this reason, I prefer an operator that will allow me that freedom.
NDR - Finally, getting from Kao Sok to Koh Lanta.....does anybody have any links for charters that can be relied on to pick us up and deliver us? Currently it would just be the two of us but it might be as many as 8.
Thanks in advance
