Magnifiques conditions après la Full Moon sur Koh Phangan
Cela fait deux jours que la Full Moon Party s’est terminée et la mer est maintenant d’une belle nuance turquoise dans notre coin du golfe de Thaïlande. Nick est de sortie sur le récif de Mae Haad avec Scott, notre Divemaster en formation (afin de terminer son projet de cartographie), la visibilité est excellente. Notre bateau était sur Sailrock aujourd’hui, où les conditions étaient celle d’un véritable aquarium ! Et l’île redevient calme à nouveau ! Apparemment les conditions deviennent excellentes souvent lorsque nous sommes les seuls à pouvoir en...
Read MoreChaloklum Diving plan a Marine Park trip (and Gavin’s back!)
We’re planning to take a break from Sail Rock in the next few days and make a dive trip to Angthong Marine Park for a change of scenery. Koh Phangan is not so busy now, after the full moon party, and we have a few of our regular divers who have been to Sail Rock already. This trip means some great snorkelling too; please let us know if you want to come along. The dive centre team are fit and well, taking it slightly easy after a busy full moon period. From the photo you can see that the Gavin is back at the dive school, and working on the Padi courses after a successful Scuba...
Read MoreChaloklum Diving go to Koh Tao for the day!
Chaloklum Diving are off for a diving and snorkelling trip to Koh Tao tomorrow, as the black moon on the Gulf of Thailand is currently making for a big tidal movement, which makes Sail Rock a little tougher than we’d like it! Local diving on Koh Phangan sites has been thoroughly pleasant however, as was the diving at the Marine Park on our dive trip there on Sunday. All’s good, although somewhat hectic, with the diving school team. A few Padi Open Water Diver courses, 2 ex-students returning for Advanced training, lots of people discovering scuba diving & a bunch of fun...
Read MoreA Happy Scuba New Year from the Chaloklum Diving Team.
Hoping that all our scuba diving (& otherwise) friends had a Merry Christmas, & wishing all a Happy New Year from the Chaloklum Diving School massive. We have had a thoroughly festive time, this year without our usual Christmas day scuba dives due to a couple of days unpleasant weather! However we’re back in action again, with diving trips to Sail Rock today & tomorrow, plus a Koh Tao special in the pipeline (time for some snorkelling too). We’re still going to wait another day or 2 until we offer local dive sites & the Marine Park… At the dive centre...
Read MoreKoh Phangan; Diving & Snorkelling still fine (what rainy season? pt. 2).
And still the nice weather continues when it should be horrible. It’s a crazy situation when there are so few tourists here that we can only offer boat diving trips to Sail Rock, fabulous as it is. Dive sites like the Marine Park, Southwest Pinnacles & Koh Tao are just not possible because of a scarcity of scuba divers! But we’re not suffering too much; to make up for it we have been doing more scuba dives at a few of our favourite local dive sites, as we sometimes forget what Koh Phangan diving has to offer. The word is that our dive boat is now back in the water, &...
