Welcome to scuba board! See if you can rent different types so you can try before you buy. Like shoes, some fins take a bit to get used to. I have a range of finds and really happy with my Scuba Pro Nova fins.
I will be in the St Pete Beach area in mid June. I am attending a conference during the day, but wonder if there is any night diving in the area? Any suggestions?
Excellent diving! I was on a liveaboard last March and would certainly go back again. I have dived the Similans 7 times and going up the archipelago in comparison is very much worth it. MV Dolphin Queen
I don't think that really fits with the spirit of a certification. Why don't you suggest the student diver take PADI E-Learning in Japanese? Have her work with the shop she plans to do her check out dives with. If that does not work, work with an instructor old school manual and direct instruction.

Welcome back! Consider taking a specialty course such as Search & Recovery. This can really help sharpen skills but also get you to see some of the newer kit in action. I bet the tanks are due for an inspection:)
In December as per other posts the Andamen side (Phuket) would be better as conditions favor it mid October - April/May. I really liked Phi Phi as it is so close to the Bidas. I would not recommend a liveaboard if your a complete novice. In fact if your unsure, try a "Discover Scuba" which in...
I would recommend doing a search in the Thai section of the board. There are several great options that can bring you to varying levels depending on your abilities and desire. An extended dive holiday in which you can complete your advance/rescue training while seeing how a particular shop...
