Amongst all the diving destinations that I have
been fortunate enough to travel to,
Thailand is the one that will remain embedded
in my heart forever. The warmth
and friendliness of not only the Thai people
but of the expatriates as well is
infectious.
Phuket's main beach resorts are unfortunately
tainted by the effects of brash
mass tourism but these can easily be avoided
if one stays in the quieter areas
like Kata beach, or simply by embarking on a
liveaboard trip to the Similan
Islands.
One dive shop that stands out from the others
is Phuket Scuba
Club which is
conveniently located 100m from Kata beach.
The South African owners of this dive centre
have created the perfect blend of
professional dive shop and social post-dive
environment.
If one really wants to get away from it all and
concentrate exclusively
on diving then a liveaboard trip is the answer.
We travelled to the Similans aboard the Jonathan
Cruiser
It is a Swedish owned vessel offering the more
budget conscious traveller an
excellent combination of good service and cosmopolitan
atmosphere.
