We had a great day of snorkeling at Koh Rok. Slightly choppy on the way out, but nice and calm in the lagoon (?) with only a slight current when the tide turned. Lots of coral heads shallow enough to observe from the surface but deep enough to be out of harms way from errant snorkelers. My wife got a great introduction to sea life in the Andaman.
ScubaFish run a good dive operation. Our boat to Koh Haa was crowded (it was the only diveable site that day), but they pulled it off smoothly and efficiently. But they could do with some administrative improvements. IMHO they need to:
- notify customers that their booking is confirmed (or not). Even whe I called the main office the person I spoke with was unable to tell me whether or not I had a confirmed booking.
- coordinate better with their Narima branch. When I went in there, as requested, it was like starting all over again: names, dive dates and places, cert level, etc. I went in the next day to drop off my dive gear and had to go through the whole litany again. They need to provide their staff with either access to the booking database or give them a printout of the information they already have. I shouldn't have to repeat it all every time I talk to them.
Hope the weather holds for you Quero and thanks again for your help and advice on this trip. We had a marvelous holiday. Bangkok tonight and Korat tomorrow.
