BEFORE YOU GO · CAUTIONARY DETAILS
Dive within your certification
A card states a depth and a set of conditions. Going beyond either on holiday, with an instructor who has known you for an hour, is how divers get hurt.
Never hold your breath
The first rule of breathing compressed air, and the one that kills people who forget it. Breathe continuously on every ascent.
No flying for at least eighteen hours
After multiple dives, longer. Book the flight home with a clear day in between, not the same evening.
Touch nothing
Coral takes decades to grow and breaks in a moment, and a great deal of what looks inert is alive. Buoyancy control is not just a skill, it is how you avoid destroying what you came to see.

Visibility was excellent and the boat ran on time every morning. The team read the group well and adjusted without making a thing of it. No hesitation recommending them.

Great few days in the water. Briefings were clear and nobody was pushed beyond their level. Would book with them again.

Kit was in good condition, which matters more than people realise.

Great few days in the water. Briefings were clear and nobody was pushed beyond their level. Hostel nights are basic but clean, and that's what the price says. Solid operator.

Conditions were poor for two of the days, which nobody can control, but the schedule wasn't adjusted. Whoever planned the days knew what they were doing.

Thank you. We've taken the point about the transfer and are reviewing it.

Questions people ask

The national park closes entirely from mid-May to mid-October for the monsoon and for reef recovery. Anyone selling you a Similan trip in July is selling something that does not run.
