THANK YOU

Hi Thierry,

The divecenters here are hardly ever located within the premises of a hotel. This means that you can stay where you like and pick the divecenter you like.

Take into account that the divesites closest by are about 1,5 hours by boat. Quite often there are 3 dives done on the day, for 3 days of 3 dives per day you would have to count on approximately 10,500 Baht, gear rental, transfers, breakfast and lunch etc. included.

HI STEVEN
THANKS FOR REPLY SO QUICK
there is so many hotel !!!
do you know a good one ? not to big,not to expensive (middle class) ,
you confirm that i don't need to book for diving ?

I would check out Kata Beach, nice beach, good restaurants, and close to the departure point of the boats.

Check out www.latestays.com for last minute options, e.g. Kata Country House or Tropical Resort or Tropical Garden Resort, and more in the same area.

Regarding booking: you don't need to book in advance, but of course all diving centers, including me, would prefer it if you did.

THANK A LOT
IS YOUR DIVE CENTER CLOSE TO THESE HOTEL ,?

We're close to Kata Country House, the others are at about a 5-10 minute walk (with some other DC's on the way).

I expect to be able to give you a private guide

Just pass by the divecenter and we can talk about your options. From Kata Country House, the sidestreet just around the corner, after about 200 meters we're ion the right hand side. In fact, the back of our shop looks out over the back part of the Kata Country House area.

OK,see you saturday,about 9am is it ok?

Normally I'm there at 09.00, but could also be a bit later.

Sorry, just realised something: if you want to go diving Saturday, contact us asap, 0800-408805. Diving Saturday has to be sorted Friday, so if you want to, contact me asap.

OK I LL COME AT 10.00
