Thumbs up Re: Diving in Thailand

Hi Kiwi chick,

I'm staying on Koh Pha-Ngan and go freediving every day, it's pretty shallow 15-20 metres that is accessible from the shore, cool for cruising around, nice sunsets very laid back beach, cool people and lots of yoga, ferry to Koh Tao is 1 hour only and Monica y Eusebio are set up there, did some nice freediving with a whale shark there with them last year at Chumphon pinacle, you can find 30-40 metres there i believe, I can investigate the depths, dive boats go daily from north of this island to sail rock that sits between Koh tao and Koh Pha-ngan, Turtles and Leopards sharks are common sights there and I believe to get a ride on one of the scuba boats for the day can be arranged inexpensively... If you are coming phone me on 069969630 thats a thai mobile or email me and we can do some diving together if you like.... Water temp is 27 degrees right now, visability just off the coast and around koh Ma is 12-15 metres on a good day depends on currents and weather conditions....

If your around I'm heading to Burma border for a visa run the end of Feb and will spend a few days in Similian islands, supposed to be better diving than koh tao and less crowds....

Take it easy, ciao!! Golfinho
