Andaman coast weather

[Maggy]

Thank goodness for that! Anyway you'll all be glad to hear Maggy got her Phi Phi trip today with glorious sunshine, calm sea and excellent vis on Bida Nok!

Yes, thanks Katdiver for a great day at sea, both above water and under. I will write a trip report later, when I have sorted out my pictures and recovering from the jetlag.

Koh Bid Nok was great, but I have never seen so many boats on a dive site before.

Just as well we jumped in on the other side, and avoided the other groups as best we could once we came around. I'm still fizzing though at that party of arab looking divers that were standing on the corals whilst their "DM" took their group picture........

I hope you did show them underwater at least in one or another way that you were not happy with that.

Sad to say, it's a daily chore........

But did/do you do anything when you saw/see it happening? Did/do you get their attention underwater and told/tell them (politely or not so politely) to get off the coral?

28-29c on my recent LA in the Similans (Feb 7-11). It was amazing!

Yes Bowmouth, but my gesticulations were ignored

Kat,

If only you had a spear gun. A bit extreme, but most likely effective. A warning shot would certainly liven up the photo

I'm glad you tried.
It sometimes helps if you write something (example "Is standing on and killing coral giving you a good feeling?") on a slate and show it to each and every diver that is standing on the coral.

Haven't used one in years, and not on SCUBA! Could probably link several heads together with one good shot, as I'm sure it'll only pass through air!!
