Hello, we are starting to plan our 1st trip to Thailand and would like to incorporate some diving. We recently dove the Great Barrier Reef on a 4 day liveaboard, but have decided this is not going to be a heavy diving vacation so we are not looking for a 4 or 7 day liveaboard (although I'd love to if we had unlimited vacation time!!!)
Anyway, we will be in the area the last week of Nov/1st week Dec. I know there are thousands of dive sites, but if you could only pick one area to dive where would it be...surin/similian islands? I've heard these are not to be missed. If that is the case, are there any 2 day/1 night or even day trips to the area?
Or should we consider diving another area instead? I'm really looking for some expert/insider opinions on where/what to do. We will probably be flying to Phuket on Nov 27th and flying out on Dec 4th. We were thinking of staying up in Khao Lak in the beginning to do the diving and then moving to either Phuket or Phi Phi for the remaining days.
Any suggestions on dive companies would be very helpful! I booked my trip of a lifetime dive trip to the GBR using the suggestions of this site 100% and hope to do the same for this trip.
thanks to all!
