Theme: Scuba Diving
Diving is a great activity, every time. And pretty much every diver wants to get close to the big stuff like Whale Sharks. Not many around, but they are there and are seen around the Similans now and again. Last year the day I missed seeing one near Samui (the guys who went around the rock the other way saw a 5m one!), I came ashore and got a text from my friend in Phuket saying what I'd missed there too. A biggie.
It's not only these leviathans that make this a haven though, the variety and quality of life around here is wonderful. And the dive teams I went with were all great for getting the most contact with the beasties. Safely.
Equipment: I didn't have any gear with me and rented every time. It was always good and well looked after. I think a loose weight belt clip and slightly chewed mouthpiece was about the limit I found.
I went with Dive Master for a live aboard and Dive Asia for day-dives, both were great, helpful and friendly. Thanks Guys, especially Bowie (DM Off), Pum (DA Off) and Tik (DA DM).
