Thanks for the info. I discounted the Similans as the monsoon is in effect by the end of May and most of the liveaboard operations stop by the middle of the month. I was actually thinking of PNG when I mentioned 'off the beaten path'. Port Moresby has a pretty bad reputation but I've heard...

It looks like I will have a week available for dive travel at the end of May. I will be in Thailand at this time so I would like to arrange a trip in Asia. Dive conditions in the Similans will be so-so at best and we would prefer to go to a place that is in high season in late May. Any...
