Quero,

The mystery/wreck/cave diving thing is primarily a guy thing. I am a former salt water reef tank serious hobbyist who could discuss oxygen/reduction potentials of oceanic reef ecospheres, so what appeals to me is unusual marine life, macro and otherwise and filming it, so in that regards my dive style is more like what women and photogs of bother genders like, although to maintain some semblance of manliness via the equipment nut tactic, I usually dive with the rebreather, lol.

What we would probably try to do is if we book a group trip somewhere other than Thailand at any point, our goal would be to do it when it is not your high season as you mentioned, that way you would at least be available.

Since you're the Thailand expert, is there a way to dive off places like Phuket, but still be more or less land based? I know a live aboard can go further, but land based activities unrelated to diving are fun diversions, and it allows members to bring non-divers. I personally enjoy diving 3-4 dives a day, then go out about the area walking/driving around, checking out different eateries, etc. so I could use some info.


TJack, I hear the no-see-ums are bad on Roatan and surrounding Bay Islands, but then again so are the mosquitoes in Asia if you don't take precautions, so give us the scoop?
