In reply to natasha dobbs. Hey Natascha! If you prefer to be in Sairee I love diving with Sairee Hut. They have a fun pool bar and a great dive team! If you're basing yourself in Mae Haad, Master Divers provides an excellent, really thorough education. And down in Chalok, Ocean Sound Dive and Yoga is a great bet! Enjoy and let me know how it goes!

In reply to Priya. Hi Priya! When I'm diving or snorkeling off a boat yes, I leave my valuables on the boat. Hope that helps!

Hi Alex. I’m going on a solo trip to Thailand at the end of the month to dive and snorkel. What do you do with your valuables (phone, cash, credit cards) when you’re out on the ocean? Do you use a waterproof bag and snorkel with your belongings? Leave your belongings on the boat?

Love all the photos…but my favorite is definitely C for its uniqueness…not everyone can capture that. Not long until we arrive in Thailand and have several months lined up for Koh Tao!!!! Hope to meet you there x

In reply to Gemma. I sadly didn't dive in Nicaragua -- I tried in San Juan del Sur, but they wouldn't run the boat with only one customer, and no one else inquired in the two weeks I was there!

In reply to Dominique. That's awesome, Dominique! I looooove the Caribbean and can't wait to slowly explore more of it.
