Question on Singapore, Singapore

Morgan Bennett

Personally I would wait and go to Thailand.. depends what you want to see though.

Thomas Dawson

thanks, we will be in Leam Cahbang (Bangkok) and Ko Samui (Thailand) either of these worthwhile?

Thomas Dawson

sorry Laem Chabang :}

Vandra Allison

Samui is pretty good! Good vibe too.

Morgan Bennett

Most Leam Chabang diving will leave from Pattaya based dive operators.. Pattaya is a total shit-hole full of angry russians and hookers. I would def stick to the islands. There is some more interesting/better quality diving there too. Koh Tao was my favourite place in that island group.

Thomas Dawson

thanks, I will check these out - have you been diving in Vietnam or Cambodia?

Morgan Bennett

I have dived in Phu Quoc once.. but it was pretty brief. Worth a look :)

Thomas Dawson

thanks

from what I know, Singapore has some dive sites but these are limited to smaller creatures (seahorses) if you're interested. visibility will not be that clear as well.

Thomas Dawson

thanks, I've contacted one group in ko samui and am trying to organize something but the timing is tough - hopefully it will work out - I appreciate the feedback

Thomas Dawson

the dive center I chatted with said it would be impossible to get from the ship over to the other side of the island before the normal dive times as we dock at 7 am so their only option was a personal dive / boat / car but it was like 800 usd for 2 dives -- so I am now looking to see if there is any diving near Bangkok as our ship docks at Laem Chabang - any suggestions close by?

Cherylene Renee

you could consider diving in Pattaya. if you have a few days in Thailand, then consider taking a bus/train down to Koh Tao - whalesharks abound! :)

Thomas Dawson

thanks Cherylene - any suggestions on dive operators in Pattaya? and how far is Pattaya in driving distance from Laem Chabang and Bangkok?
