Advanced Divers Living In Phuket

Featured Replies

I'm looking for anyone living in Phuket who wants to get together for a regular monthly "diving date" - getting a group together would be perfect.

PM me if you're interested!

tried to do same b4 but got almosyt zero interest

the ones that work in the dive industry dont want to pay to dive and / or dive on their day off

maybe better to try and organise a forum trip to somewhere like sipadan in july / august and see if there are any takers for that

Agree with that, a trip somewhere else might be a better idea (although I won't be there). I work an live in the diving industry here, and don't want to go diving if I have a day off, and if I'm working I'm getting paid to go diving, not paying for it.

I'm organizing a monthly Group Dive/Snorkel the last Sunday of each month (to help everyone with scheduling).

FIRST OUTING IS THIS SUNDAY 31 MAY 2009!

The *crazy-good* deal I've gotten us is:

Divers – 2,700b

Snorkelers – 1,500b

Site selection depends on the wind conditions and visibility but could be:

1. Anenome Reef + Shark Point + Koh Doc Mai

2. Racha Noi + Racha Yai

3. King Cruiser + Shark Point + Koh Doc Mai

Includes:

-3 sites

-Divemaster

-all equipment: if diving (wetsuit, BCD, fins, snorkel and mask, 3 tanks of air); if snorkeling (snorkel and mask)

-breakfast, lunch, non-alcoholic drinks

-a FREE T-shirt (ha!) – I'm not kidding!

What I need from you:

-your full name (first and last)

-AT LEAST 3 DAYS PRIOR confirmation that you're coming (rain or shine!)

-copy of your card showing the level at which you are certified (if diving)

-how many dives you have under your belt (if diving)

-pick up location (if required)

-sizes of 1. Wetsuit 2. BCD 3. Fins 4. T-shirt (if diving)

-size of 1. Fins 2. T-shirt (if snorkeling)

**I MUST know that you're coming by NOON the THURSDAY PRIOR TO THE TRIP**

NB: cancellations inside of 24hrs will incur a 30% penalty.

Questions? Send me a PM as I will NOT be checking this post for replies.

Spread the word and let's get diving!

Any group of divers from thailand going to Sipadan in 2010?

Wow, is it really that expensive to dive in Phuket?!?

I'm happy I live on Koh Tao :)

Perhaps a local dive operator would want to extend a deal for local divers. I used to dive at 50% off and went diving on a regular basis, but no way I am diving at the same sites over and over paying full or near full price.
