Best Khao Lak day trip dives and operators?

[shanghaiexpat1]

Any suggestions on the best day trip dives and operators in Khao Lak for end of February?

We'll be staying at the JW Marriott Khao Lak with our young baby so we can only do day trip dives. My husband is considering to do his advanced as well. I have my advanced already and we are both fairly experienced divers.

I love this board!

Thanks!

Khao Lak isn't that big, so you can just walk down the main road there and stop in at a few dive ops to ask for advice. Try to get to Richelieu Rock on a daytrip. Not too many ops do daytrips up there, so look for one that does and add in more days to other dive sites to round it out.

Sea bees were excellent!

In January 2012, I used Big Blue Diving in Khao Lak for day trips to dive Koh Tachai, Koh Bon and Richelieu Rock. I enjoyed the dives and was very pleased with their operation.

Agree with Quero re options, just seem to remember the Marriot is a longish taxi ride north of Ban Khao Lak.
Richelieu is special if you can get there on a day trip.
