Just thought I would put up a quick post because Claudette asked me to regarding my trip to Phuket.
I did a dive this morning off Kata beach with 25-30' viz. The water was 86F, what a big difference from 50F at Leo Carillo last Saturday.
The amount of fish and other creatures that I have not seen in person has provided me with a sensory overload, just incredible.
Saw about 8-10 lionfish just hanging out near the reef. Made me think twice about using a 3mm shorty instead of the 3mm full suit. 2 remoras were with us for most of the dive today. They liked the DM more than me but it was weird to feel them on my legs. To many others fishes and mantis shrimps to speak of.
Well, I am off to Phi Phi island tomorrow for some more great diving. Then Monday is the liveaboard to the Similans. I've got about 3GB of compact flash and I plan on using it all. I will post pics when I return to SoCal.
Dive safe,
Phil
