Hello!

I am looking to plan a trip to Thailand next year, probably some time between Feb and April. I was wondering if anyone here is an experienced scuba diver and has any recommendations?? We were looking at going to Phuket - is the diving good there? What is the best time of year for diving - warmest water - best visibility?

Also, any recommendations on dive companies? How is the local gear? I don't really want to drag too much equipment since this would only be a small part of the overall trip.

Thanks!
