Salut Muse,
je suis aussi amateur de plongée et en ce qui concerne Ko Tao tu devrais te procurer le Lonely Planet. Je ne l'ai malheureusement pas sur moi mais je sais qu'il y a sur cette île un excellent club qui s'occupe aussi de l'hébergement. Ca ne coute pas cher du tout et tu as 7 sorties plongées différentes!!
Donc pense Lonely Planet lol. (Je n'ai aucune action dans leur boite lol.)
J'y serai en juin donc keep in touch! (john_mouyal@hotmail.fr)

Salut, j'arrive de Koh Tao ou j'ai fait de la plongée avec Crystal dive, mais c'est vraiment l'usine!! et pas toujours des moniteurs en français. Il semblerait que first divers soit un peu plus sympa et moins business. sinon, en arrivant au port, tu prends la première rue à droite, et au bout de cette rue, (300 m) tu trouveras 1 ou 2 petits clubs de plongée plus sympas. Crystal, ils faisaient 2 plongées pour 1400 baht avec Hotel gratuit (ça fait 28 euros)
J'ai passé mon padi advanced c'était bien pour la technique
Nitrox, plongée de nuit...

Le centre Dive Point, situé à Mae Haad (le port où arrive les bateaux) est très bien, très sérieux.
Ils ont un gros bateau confortable qui permet de faire régulièrement des sorties sur les sites les plus intéressants (Chumphon Pinnacle et Southwest Pinnacle), matos impec, organisation sans faille.
Tenu par une Australienne et un Autrichien, Mirjana et Walter, très sympas. Il y a toujours au moins un dive-master ou un instructeur qui parle français dans le staff.

Bonjour
Moi j'ai plongé en mars dernier avec Scuba Junction et c'était vraiment super.
Tu peux demander Tony comme moniteur francophone, il est très sympa.
Les plongées se font en tout petit groupe, bonne ambiance, pas l'usine du tout.
Le club se trouve sur Saree beach.
Pour te dire, j'y retourne en juillet !
Hello!
Pour ma part, j'ai plongé avec Ban's à Ko Tao, et c'etait vraiment super. On avait une monitrice francaise, Chloé, très sympa et attentive.
Le prix des chambres est très bas si tu plonges, et l'hotel est vraiment pas mal. On etait en general 2 à plonger avec elle, et au max 6.
Le bateau est très bien aussi, et l'équipement plus que correct.
En espérant t'avoir aidé!

Salut a tous
Mon pote et moi revenons d une petite semaine sur Ko Tao.....pour plonger bien entendu. Nous avons plonge entre le 15 et le 20 sptembre 2008...
Apres de nombreuses recherches internet une fois arrives sur l ile pour decouvrir dans quel club nous allions plonger, plusieurs clubs se degagent : l Island Dive Club et le Dive point. Apparement ce sont les deux plus sympa et serieux... On entend aussi parler du Ban's et du Crystal qui sont de vrais usines, a savoir 40 sur le bateau et des groupes de 8 sous l eau...Effectivement cela se confirme tres vite quand les jours suivant nous les voyons partir en mer et s arreter sur les sites de plongee...Ainsi je vous deconseille vraiment ces 2 clubs (d'ailleurs, d'apres certains, il leur arrive souvent de ''perdre'' des gens sous l'eau)
Revenons a notre choix...il s est porte sur l ISLAND DIVE CLUB...Pourquoi? Tout d abord grace aux critiques internet et ensuite parceque le manager est francais (he oui ca aide...😉).
Nous allons les voir...l endroit est sympa...une grande terrasse ombragee ou l on boit des bierres et une jolie fresque marine peinte sur la devanture... L acceuil est bien...on nous explique exatement comment ca se passe...
Nous voulions passer le Padi Open Water et l'Advanced Open Water :8600 B pour l Advanced9500 B pour l Open Ces prix comprennent les plongees, les projetions video ainsi que les manuels de plongee en FRANCAIS (ou dans la langue que vous souhaitez)...les bungalows sont offerts10 au max sur les bateaux4 au max par groupe, sous l eau (ce qui est super important a mes yeux)
Il faut savoir que la thailande est l'endroit le moins cher du monde pour la plongee et Ko Tao le lieu le moins cher de la thailande...
Les bungalows sont sympas sans etre exceptionnels...ils se trouvent dans un vaste jardin a 50m de la mer...apres c est bien sur a vous de voir : de superbes bungalows sur la plage avec un club de plongee en carton ou un lieu pour dormir propre et confortable mais sans une vue de carte postal? Bref nous nous sommes la pour plonger😎😎😎 (ils ont aussi des bungalows tout confort pour les amateurs)
Au fur et a mesure des jours, notre bonne impression se confirme...l ambiance est super, les instructeurs au poil...serieux dans l apprentissage et la formation...c est un regal de partir plonger...et meme de reviser le soir🤪🤪...
Quand nous y etions il y avait des instructeurs qui parlaient : francais, espagnol, anglais et hebreu...
Le manager, JJ, adorable, m expliquait qu il orientait le club plus pour les franco et hispanophones...
Bon voila tout ca pour dire que ce club est vraiment super...

Hello,
We’re planning a trip to Thailand for next summer. It’s the rainy season, but that’ll let us explore forest parks (Khao Yai and Khao Sok, most likely) in full bloom and teeming with wildlife. We’d also like to spend a few days on beaches with nearby coral reefs during this trip. That’s where we’re hitting a snag—I’m struggling to find an island or region with favorable weather. I’ve gone through quite a few threads on this forum, but most are pretty old and mention a few names (Tao, Phaluai, Ma, or Phang Nga), though with doubts about visibility or overall appeal. Crowds also seemed like a bit of an issue. Just to clarify, our family has mixed interests when it comes to fish-related activities—some are Level 1 divers, while others are snorkelers only.
Are there any good options in July-August for great experiences in the area? Thanks for your tips!

Hi everyone! 😊
I’m looking for a place in Albania to go scuba diving with my boyfriend. We’ve never done it before and we’d love to try this activity.
Thanks so much! 🌺🌺
hi
I wanted to know the best snorkeling spots in Tuamotu since I unfortunately don’t have enough time to do everything—I’ll have to pick and choose.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Hi everyone.
I’d describe myself as a "former diver." I’ve done around 450 dives in natural environments across different settings. I put diving on hold about 5 years ago due to work/schedule constraints and, let’s say, family reasons. Since then, I’ve still tried to stay in shape with hiking trips, running, swimming, and freediving in protected environments, etc... I’m planning to get back into the bubbles somewhere this year. Any destinations you’d recommend—or avoid—for getting back into it? I’m looking for a spot for April/May this year.
Any tips or ideas?
Thanks

Hi,
For my trip to Thailand with two teens aged 13 and 16, do you have any info or tips to share? I’d like to go jet skiing, either in Phuket or Koh Samui, but I’d need at least two jet skis since there are three of us. Can my 16-year-old ride alone? Is it better to rent on-site or book an all-inclusive excursion online or in person?

Our Bali-Lombok trip is taking shape, but we’d love to wrap up the stay with at least a solid week of snorkeling somewhere the coral is still in great condition. In your opinion, are the Gili Secrets in southern Lombok better than Flores Island, where there are supposedly amazing underwater landscapes?
We’ll be in Dahab again this October—we’ve been going since 1979—to freedive. In 2025, to our surprise, access to the Blue Hole is now paid: on top of the 10 € taxi fare, you have to pay $10 per person to enter the park. So we’re heading outside Dahab to the Three Pools site by bike, rented locally. Is there a bus that goes there, or shared taxis, instead of the tourist taxis? And where can we catch them? We’ve seen big buses full of local families on the site, but we don’t know where to find them. Thanks in advance!
Hi there,
The comments about this public beach are generally negative:
tiny beach, crowded, dirty, and noisy.
Is that really the case?
Could you please post some of your recent photos of the public beach—not photos from the big hotels?
Hello,
For flight schedules and prices from Bordeaux, and ease of reaching Alexandria by bus/train afterward, I’m considering spending 4 days around Hurghada (direct flight from Bdx).
I don’t think I’ll go for courses to get my Level 1, since I don’t plan to dive often in the future—unless you think it’s better than doing 2 discovery dives in this area (I only have one baptism under my belt, in Koh Tao 15 years ago—amazing! But I’m not targeting trips for diving; I need to go to Alexandria, so this is a chance to get back into diving and snorkeling).
I’m looking for a spot to do some snorkeling, 1 or 2 baptisms, and explore the surroundings. I’ll arrive in early March on the evening of Day 0. I’ll have 3.5 days after that (I’m planning to leave on Day 4 around 4 PM by bus/train).
Is Hurghada completely to be avoided in favor of another area in the Red Sea, or can I still have a nice 3.5 days there? I know places like Dahab are more pleasant, but the convenience and timing of Hurghada appeal to me... I usually prefer more authentic travel spots and places, but I’m willing to compromise on that if it’s still worth it for the diving. Or should I only stay 2.5 days and head to Alexandria a day earlier? (I’ve already seen Cairo and Luxor a bit.)
Open to your advice ;) Thanks in advance!

Hi there,
I’m heading to Hurghada for a few days in November. I’m looking for a spot where I can go snorkeling right from the beach. Is that still possible, or do you absolutely need to take a boat trip to see anything worthwhile?
I’ve read about Makadi Bay, but also that it’s packed with big resort complexes—which I’d rather avoid. Are there any beaches accessible without staying at one of those huge hotels?
Any great tips or advice for me? Thanks in advance, Lucille

Hey everyone!!
I’m planning a 3-month trip to the Philippines for May 2026.
As a diving enthusiast, I’d love to hear about must-visit diving spots.
I’m traveling with a buddy, and we don’t really want to spend all our time moving around, so if you have recommendations for one area that’s better than others for diving, that’d be great!
What do you think are the best diving sites? (I’d appreciate an overview of the country so I can decide based on that.)
Compared to my buddy, I love macro photography (nudibranchs, etc.), so I’d also love any tips on that.
And completely unrelated to diving, but I’d also like info on places to visit (national parks, reserves, etc.) to see the local wildlife.
Thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time to reply!
Safe travels, everyone!
Hello everyone!
So glad to be back on this forum to swap some great tips.
I’m heading to Malaysia from mid-May to mid-August 2025 for nearly 3 months.
With my advanced certification in hand for a few years now, I’m on the lookout for the best dive spots in Malaysia.
I’ve obviously heard about the Perhentians and Sipadan.
Someone mentioned Tioman too, but not necessarily for diving.
Do you have any feedback on these places for diving? (visibility, marine life diversity, etc.)
Any idea about the rates for fun dives?
Dive centers you’d recommend?
Any help would be super valuable for planning the trip, so thanks a million in advance to those who take the time to reply.
Safe travels, everyone!!
Hi there.
For taking photos while snorkeling, is it better to go with a disposable camera or a waterproof pouch? If a pouch, which brand is reliable? Thanks for your feedback!
Hi there,
I’m looking for a destination in Vietnam for January to spend a week and go snorkeling.
Anyone have any suggestions?
I know Thailand well, and with my Thai friend, we’d like to try a different country.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks in advance.
This is the excursion we shouldn’t have done in Mauritius.
We did it with The Friendly Dodo, but from what I saw, it’s the same with most agencies.
Departure at 6 a.m. (even though the sun rises at 7 a.m. in August). Why? Because there’s only one well-known spot where the dolphins are, and all the agencies race to get there first. For 45 to 60 minutes, it’s just straight-line navigation to the spot. No one’s looking for dolphins—we’re just speeding there in silence, full throttle. Once we arrive, there are already 5-6 boats. The dolphins are there, sure. The boats fight for the best position, cutting off the dolphins’ path, and then—go, go, go—everyone jumps in. Not a single instruction is given on how to approach the dolphins respectfully. Result: everyone jumps in at the same time from 3 boats, creating a huge splash, and rushes toward the dolphins. Outcome: faced with this chaos, the dolphins dive, and you can’t see them from the boat anymore. The swimmers who are right in their path might see them pass below for a few seconds at best. Everyone climbs back onto the boats, and as soon as the dolphins resurface, the same cycle starts all over again. After 5 or 6 jumps like this (3 of which I didn’t even see the dolphins), it’s back to the port the same way we came. Not a single explanation is given during the entire excursion about the dolphins themselves or how to approach them. Safety-wise, I didn’t feel comfortable either with all the boats fighting for position. I bumped into another boat (no pain) while swimming, and I wasn’t reassured about the propellers. With all this circus, my daughters didn’t even want to get in the water. The problem is, when you stay on the boat, you don’t get much out of it either—because as soon as the dolphins resurface, everyone jumps in haphazardly and scares them off again. Having done the same kind of outing in Réunion, I can confirm it’s nothing like this (much better organized and ultimately much more rewarding in Réunion).
Under these conditions, this is an activity we never should’ve done! !

Hi everyone,
My partner and I are heading to Mauritius at the end of October (Tamarin Bay), and one of our wishes is to find a great small-group excursion out at sea to meet dolphins. I’m looking for a provider that’s respectful of the animals and gives us a fun, discovery-filled day. I’ve heard a lot about Amistad on this site—what do you think? Do you have any tried-and-tested alternatives to suggest? Thanks so much!

Hi there,
We're heading to Praslin, La Digue, and Mahé for 15 days in early March. Do you have any good snorkeling spots to recommend? Just to let you know, we're beginners, and I get scared easily if it's too deep.
Also, another important question: what do you do with your belongings on the beach while snorkeling? Our phones, accommodation keys, wallets, etc.?
Thanks for your tips!

Hi everyone!
I’ve been in Malaysia for a month now and still have two more to go. I started traveling with friends, but I’ll be solo for the next month and a half.
We did a pretty classic route: Perhentians, Cameron Highlands (which I found pointless), Tioman, and Kinabatangan in Borneo. Now I’m thinking of heading to Redang Island—Langkawi is also an option, but it doesn’t appeal to me as much. Any feedback on these two spots?
Especially Redang?
Any thoughts on the diving there?
So far, I haven’t had much luck with diving—at the Perhentians, it was pretty disastrous with water at 31°C 😵😫
I’d love to find a nice island where I can meet people (locals and travelers) because going from a group of six to solo at the end is going to feel weird.
So I’m open to all tips and opinions. Also, I’d love to hear about Langkawi, and if anyone knows of an island that’s a bit more off the beaten path, that’d be amazing. Thanks in advance, and happy travels to you all!
hi everyone
we’d love to visit Borneo and I’m not finding much info on it yet (just starting my research)
so I’m reaching out to you, like I do for every trip—it’s worked out great for us so far 😎
we’re a family of 4 with two teens, 14 and 18, and we’re going for 3 weeks.
what’s the weather like in August—too much rain?
any political issues to be aware of?
which little beach paradises should we not miss?
we love discovering animals and diving… any top spots?
as for airfare—any budget-friendly airlines or easy routes? (Singapore, Denpasar, etc.)
I’ve got so many questions! All of this on a reasonable budget…
thanks in advance to anyone kind enough to take the time to reply
hi, who can give me some tips on big-game fishing with a local fisherman?
thanks
Hi,
I’d like to do several boat trips to go snorkeling during my stay in Florès: Islands departing from Riung, Maumere, and Labuan Bajo (Seraya).
- WHO?: Do you have any contacts to organize these boat trips?
- HOW MUCH?: What’s the cost for a full-day trip, including boat rental and possibly meals (picnic, barbecue, etc.)?
Hello,
I’d like to go on a 5-day kayaking trip with snorkeling, island visits, and village tours in the Philippines. I don’t have a specific island in mind, but I’d love something off the beaten path. I’m traveling solo but can join a small group. This would be around March 20th. Thanks so much for your suggestions!
I’m looking for a 5-day kayaking and snorkeling trip with a few village visits and no mass tourism. I’m alone but open to joining a small group. Any recommendations for around March 20th? Thanks a bunch for your feedback!
Hi,
I’m interested in a Nitrox course and was wondering if it’s worth it: is it widely available in dive clubs around the world? Is it more expensive?
Thanks for your input!

Is there a hotel in Hurghada located near the sea with direct access for snorkeling on your own? Thanks
Hey everyone reading my post!
I’ll be in Mexico, specifically in Playa del Carmen and Tulum, from March 11 to April 2.
I’m looking online for things to do, but they all seem pretty similar—I’m after something a bit more original but don’t wanna get ripped off either!
If you’ve had any great experiences in those areas, feel free to share them. Thanks in advance!
Hi there,
I have my flight to Malé from February 3rd to 15th.
I want to visit Malé first, then head to 2 or 3 nearby islands. I’d like to take the ferry to keep costs down.
I’d love to be able to snorkel right from the beach.
Which atolls or islands would you recommend?
Thanks for your help!
Hi there, my husband loves fishing, and during our upcoming vacation in French Polynesia, he’s planning to do two half-day trips. We’ll be staying in family-run guesthouses on the following islands: Tahiti, Moorea, Huahine, Bora Bora, Rangiroa, and Fakarava. Which type of fishing should he choose for the best experience, and on which islands? Thanks in advance for your help! 🙂
Hi there,
We’re heading to South Africa for a two-week vacation next March.
We’d love to see great white sharks and maybe even try the cage diving. We’re planning to go to Gansbaai—do you think we’ll have a chance to see them? Also, do you know of any specialized agencies that aren’t too commercial and are respectful of the animals?
Thanks
Bonjour,
notre voyage en Indonésie étant annulé, et notre agence nous déconseillant l'Egypte, nous sommes à la recherche d'un lieu où nous pourrons faire du snorkeling depuis la plage (et en excursion bateau). Je connais un peu Zanzibar pour y être allé il y a plus de 10 ans, ainsi que Pemba (mais les prix ont explosé), et je me tourne aussi vers Mafia. Est ce propice au snorkeling , des resorts ont ils des house reef où l'on peut voir des choses intéressantes (je ne m'attends pas non plus au niveau de la Sulawesi ou des Raja). Merci d'avance pour toute info.

Bonjour à tous,
Je pose ma question malgré la situation incertaine actuellement, mais évidemment mon plan de voyage est conditionnel à l'évolution de la pandémie, donc merci de vous abstenir ceux qui me diraient juste de rester chez moi ;)
Donc, je planifie de passer l'hiver au sud de l'Europe, et ou vers les Balkans et j'aimerais savoir si c'est partout de la plongée en eau froide donc avec le drysuit et tout ou s'il y a des endroits qui sont superbes et ou je peux plonger avec un suit plus épais seulement même exemple en février et mars. J'ai lu pas mal ici sur le portugal et malte https://divezone.net/diving/portugal mais j'aimerais l'opinion récente de plongeurs du coin! :)
Ce que j'aime en plongée c'est l'eau claire, les fonds marins attrayants, la vie aquatique particulière, etc. Je ne suis pas une fan d'épaves, mais je considérerai tout les sites / pays proposés :)
Merci!
