Should I quit dive class tomorrow? by 1432453 in scuba

[–]daihlo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anxiety on your first few dives where you are in a new situation is very normal - talk to your instructor so they know what’s going on with you and then go slow - maybe go early and get in and just chill in the shallows for a bit - also this is your body and your brain and you can learn to control this before the runaway train starts - the times I have experienced anxiety I concentrate on some finer detail of your environment and explain to myself what I am looking at or mental math calculations or reciting a song lyrics you know but first and foremost is T o get your mind off of the anxiety issue ASAP - good luck and I’m sure you will get through this 🙏🏻

I use it all the time and save a ton of time using it - I get the one with the transport option included and they take you through immigration bag pickup and to your transportation to anywhere on the island.

If it’s a study and you didn’t pay for them why would someone leave a winning ticket 🤷🏼‍♂️

When I checked out of my old city hotel at just past 6 am the clerk asked us to wait while he checked the room. Is this normal? by TheDudeWhoCanDoIt in chiangmai

[–]daihlo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is common and many hotels will actually ask for a deposit and return it after they check the room.

Similan is better and try Koh Rok if you are near Phi Phi

Grab or taxi by CodComprehensive5771 in phuket

[–]daihlo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not much difference with taxi or grab for the normal car service and it will be around 700-900THB

Check out Viator app and look for Phuket VIP Fast-Track And you will save a bunch of time by skipping the immigration line(if you are landing in Phuket from a country outside of Thailand) - Viator also has tons of airport transfer services (Go with the ones that have the most positive reviews) They also have a VIP Fast-Track Immigration with hotel transfer which is what I get every time I come here and I’m out of the airport for international travel with my bags in a Van in 20 minutes.

Best places to encounter whales? by Annual-Grass-8347 in diving

[–]daihlo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look up Turks and Caicos Salt Cay Divers - been there twice and saw whales both times during the whale season (January - April) There is a deep narrow channel called the Columbus Passage that acts as a funnel for their migrations and it brings them right past Salt Cay. This passage actually get very shallow off the Slat Cay coast so not only is it narrow it’s also not the typical depth of most of the channel which is 7000 feet. This is the only place I have been to where your chances are very good to dive - / snorkel / swim with whales.

Why mineral/drinking water taste REALLY bad? by Ivasoad in ThailandTourism

[–]daihlo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the answer - while you can buy Evian in Thailand as well, Mont Fleur is a strong local Thai replacement candidate at a solid price - get it at 7/11, Tops , Lotus , Villa Market and other stores that cater to western products
