Hey everyone!!! So here's our predicament....
my boyfriend and i have been traveling around SE Asia for the last 6 months, and dove on Koh Tao a few times while we were in Thailand. His parents, hearing how great our diving experience was, decided to book a flight and come over to do some diving with us for the last leg of our trip. We dove on Koh Tao in July, which was great, but have heard after a bit of research that it's not exactly "prime" season for diving in early December on Koh Tao. So. we looked into going to phuket, and down to Koh lak, but when it comes down to it, not only is the diving quite expensive in the similans, but the trip from bangkok would take a few days (they dont want to fly down there). So, we started looking at koh chang, seemingly a great (close) choice for all parties involved. the only problem is, we've never been, and don't know much about the diving, the cost, or the dive operators on the island.
has anyone dove on koh chang? any good experiences? any recommendations of dive operators, or must-see dive spots while we're there? any help at this point is MUCH appreciated, as we have spent far too long looking at the computer, and not finding great (or many) reviews.
Thank you SOOO much in advance. we really just want his parents to have a great time, and don't want to have them feel they have wasted their money, etc etc.
cheers!
