The diving at
Hin Daeng, Hin Muang and Koh Ha (best done by liveaboard) is absolutely
lovely. Not as well known as the Similans, but also one of the Top
Spots in the World.

weather
and diving
Latest
update: 9 March 2010
Weather So
far this high season the diving has been very nice, the weather has
been good as well with lots of sunny days, but also more than usual
days with a moderate wind.
At the moment it is sunny and hot,
there is a slight breeze, the seas
are calm, the
trips to the Similan (daytrips, overnight trips and liveaboards) are
all going out at the moment. We also have made some excellent dives
(day dives and nightdives)
at our housereef here in Kata.
We expect the weather to stay excellent, with maybe an occasional
rainshower during the evening or night.
The diving is
nice at the moment, with lots of ghost pipe fish, frogfish and
seahorses at Shark Point, Bida Islands and Koh Doc Mai. Also plenty of
sharks in the area, both leopard sharks and black tips at the Bida
islands and lots of jacks. At Koh Bon we quite often see manta rays again.
Temperatures of appx. 34 degrees Celsius (93 Fahrenheit), sea
temperatures of 29 degrees Celsius (84 Fahrenheit).
At this
blog we have started giving
daily updates of the weather here in
the area, along with news about our diving center.
Check out this
website for a lot of our photos,
all made by our guests and guides.
