Sail Rock is DEFINITELY worth the money! 🙂 It is the premier dive site in the Gulf of Thailand. I think anyone passionate about diving needs to get there at least once. Go for it, Noé — and let me know what you think! 🙂

WOW! First things first:these photos are stunning!
I’m actually in Koh Samui and passed my PADI Open Water Diving today. I went scuba diving in Koh Tao four times like Mango Bay and Chumphon Pinnacle (which was just awesome, I heard that it is one of the most challenging dive sites in Koh Tao) and now I’m struggling, should I go to Sail Rock? Do you think it is worth the money? 🙂
Thank you!
Btw you blog & lifestyle is awesome!

In reply to Dave @ TrueVoyage Thailand. It depends, Dave! In the fall the coves at Eden Rock are filled with silversides, and there is nothing like it. All year round you have pretty much guaranteed stingray sightings at Stingray City. And turtles are pretty much a daily occurrence around the island. It definitely doesn't match up to the major schools of fish you see at Sail Rock though, you are right!

But is there as much to see in the waters around Grand Cayman? On a good day round Sail Rock it is packed out with marine life.

In reply to Gary the Rock. I've been twice now and I've thought the vis was pretty mediocre both times. But I'm spoiled after doing way too much diving in Grand Cayman- which features glass-like water year 'round!

You were actually lucky enough to have a day with decent vis at Sail Rock. We went diving there last weeekend but was quite murky sadly ;(

In reply to globalcitizensam. Hey Sam, actually not too professional! As I mentioned to Kris above, the underwater still shots are with a relatively inexpensive set up of a Canon 1300 powershot and the associated Canon housing. I think I paid $360 for both!

In reply to Dad. You are very flattering! In all honesty none of these photos I was very happy with :) I guess we hold ourselves to a higher standard that anyone else.

In reply to Steve McKee. Hey Steve, Youtube has been giving me some embedding issues. It should be up now, sorry about that!
