    Diving and tourist life

    Koh Lanta offers better variety of dive sites than Phuket, and shorter boat trips. Check out Hin Daeng/Hin Muang and Koh Ha. The dive centres also run trips to the Phi Phi dive sites...

    Visit Thailand during CNY, and avoid tourists?

    Maybe have a look at Koh Lanta - it's a little bit off the beaten track, and you should find some nice peace and quiet to relax during your holidays. The diving is very good too, with Lanta being the best spot for access to Hin Daeng & HIn Muang - good spots for mantas and whale sharks.

    January is excellent weather on the west coast, and perfect time to dive at Hin Daeng/Hin Muang from Koh Lanta.

    Not the best swimmer...

    Completing the tow in a continuous straight line is easiest - with no turns... Most people prefer the push method too, as it's streamlined, rather than a tank valve tow. Good luck !

    Koh Lanta. You can dive Hin Daeng while your friend is in the classroom/pool, and then you can both get on a trip to Koh Ha... Have a look at Lanta Diver...

    Padi online

    You can take some of the IDC online. It covers about half the presentations that were traditionally given live in class - a CD must still present the rest... You will be asked to affiliate to a shop, but I believe it's not mandatory, and you could change your mind too and switch shops.

    Padi online

    Divemasters need to complete the full course - there is no option for skipping the first part as a DM, and you must be a DM before starting the IDC... Not quite - it counts as the theory exams in the IDC, not the IE. All exams must be passed under exam conditions at the IE.

    can you crossover your divemaster certification to another agency?

    Yeah, there is no PADI crossover, you would have to complete the course performance requirements. But as rsingler noted above, as an experienced SSI DM, you could do a shorter version of the course. An SSI DM could start a PADI IDC, but cannot crossover the DM rating to become a PADI DM. I...
