Summary |
Though I have wanted to go to Phuket, I was not able to book the air ticket to Phuket in new year holiday until then. I have been in Philippines during new year holiday. I was able to book a package tour of Phuket, since it was other than new year holiday and earthquak about one year before. |
Itinerary | Morning flight at the Narita Airport to Phuket via Bangkok. Having check in the Royal Paradise Hotel by shuttle bus Three days diving, Next day,departing Phuket in the morning and coming back Narit at evning. |
Dive Center |
Though there were some package tours with diving. I chose the package tour
just with air and hotel. I checked the dive centers by internet, some had their own boats others took others boats. The Phuket Pro Dive showed daily boats schedule by internet. So I booked what I would like to go during three days. |

First day, 3 dives in Racha Noi and night dive in Racha Yai, it was around
9 when I came back to the hotel. Second day, afternoon 2 dives around Bida by a speed boat. Third day, day trip of Hin Daeng and Hin Muang by a speed boat. |
Accident | I strayed at the end of first dive on second day. So I took a sefty stop alone, and took out a baloon from my BCD pocket. I had two cameras with brackets and strobes by one hand. It was so hard to release a baloon by single hand. So I put two cameras between my legs, and released a baloon. When I exited, I realized the digital camera fell out of my legs. Then I explained that, we serched the camera in the next dive. However I was not able to find the camera. So there was no photo of digital camera, but only films. I asked the Phuket Pro Dive to prove a certificate of the incident. After I came back to home, I was able to cover it by the insurance. |
