diving – What do you think of the Mikoliunas ‘diving’ incident in the Aberdeen v Hearts game?

Question by Lammy: What do you think of the Mikoliunas ‘diving’ incident in the Aberdeen v Hearts game?
I seen it last night on Scotsport, I couldn’t believe the ref booked him for diving, it was a blatant penalty and if anyone was to be booked it should’ve been De Vischer.

Do you think Mikoliunas was unlucky or is it a case what goes around comes around? And do you think the ref would’ve been so quick to book him if that was a different player?

diving – How much do full-time scuba diving instructors earn per week?

skywalker — Wed, 09 Mar 2011 05:13:15 +0000

Question by Em: How much do full-time scuba diving instructors earn per week?
I’m thinking about packing in my boring old job and running away to Thailand to do a PADI diving instructor course. Are there any qualified instructors out there who could tell me roughly how much you earn a week?

Best answer:

Answer by Travelhappy.info
The old catch 22 – depends on how much work you can get. You can teach a maximum of 8 students the PADI Open Water course at a time – you’d earn around 2000 Baht per student – so that’s 16,000 for a group of 8. Not bad for 3 days work. But, the issue is you have to be where there are lots of people wanting to learn to dive – Koh Tao is the biggest certification centre in Thailand. There are a lot of other instructors who also want to the same thing so competition is fierce. If you work on a liveaboard, you will do some instructing, and some guiding, and get paid around 5,000 for a 4 day liveaboard trip, plus tips. Not so much cash but a lot less pressure – although you have to land the job first.

On top of that, you also have to figure out getting your Thailand work permit as the Thai authorities are cracking down on illegal foreign dive staff. You need to talk to a dive shop about that.

Usually getting employed as a dive instructor is as much about your non-dive skills – friendliness, people person, boat handling, marketing etc – as passing the instructor course. there are hundreds of people in Thailand with the same dream and you have to find a way to stand out from the crowd. There are also a lot of people who have a huge amount of previous instructor experience, and these guys always get preferential treatment because they know how to avoid problems etc with students.

Being an instructor in Thailand is not impossible but it’s not easy either. PADI has a comprehensive job bulletin board on their site which you can access once you become a Divemaster.

diving – Thailand Scuba – Similan Diving is Wicked Diving

skywalker — Mon, 07 Mar 2011 17:12:15 +0000

About Similan Diving

The Similan Islands are renowned as one of the ten best dive spots in the world. This is not referring to a single dive site, or a single wreck…this is due to the 50+ named dives sites, the incredible diversity of marine life and the variety of styles available to divers.

Located 50 Km (35 miles) of the west coast of Thailand – The Similan Islands are easily accessible. Khao Lak is the departure point for daytrips, overnight tours and Similan liveaboards as it is the main pier and the closest point of land. Easily reached are also the Surin Islands, Richelieu Rock and even some great wrecks that can easily be reached by longtail from Khao Lak.

The diving and snorkeling consists of vast reefs of pristine corals on the protected East coast of the Similans. There is incredible diving and encounters with huge marine life on the deep boulder sites on the West coast of the Similan Islands. At the top and bottom of the islands, where these different styles of sites meet, one finds opportunities for such amazing marine life as Manta Rays, Whale Sharks, Sharks, Napolean Wrasse and more.

While there can be currents – the Similan Islands are accessible to all levels of divers. Choosing the right dive center can assure the visitor of the idyllic experience. Experienced staff and intimate knowledge of the area make the choices easy. For the experienced diver – the deep sites with their strong currents and huge fish make are clear favorites. For the avid fish fanatic as well as the beginning divers, the gently sloping reefs tend to have minimal currents and incredible biodiversity.

The islands can be reached by liveaboards, Khao Lak Diving daytrips and snorkeling boats. It is very important to note that the islands are closed from May1st to November 1st each year. It is both unsafe – due to heavy monsoons, and illegal to visit the park during this closure.

Day trip Diving

Diving Day Trips to the Similan Islands with speed boats from Khao Lak. This day trip is for guests who don’t have the time to do a liveaboard safari or for those of you who wish to enjoy the comfort of a resort each evening in Khao Lak. Most daily trips to the Similan Islands cater to both diving and snorkeling. Accommodation is available on some of the Similan Islands for a spectacular 2 days & 1 night overstay diving package. Plan far in advance for that as spaces are limited!!!

Similan Liveaboard Diving

There are several Similan Liveaboards departing from Khao Lak. There are some of the most luxurious boats in the world all the way down to very bare-bones boats catering to backpackers (lacking beds they sleep on the decks).

Trips range from 1 night tours to 7 or more days. To get a basic sampling of the Similan Islands, try at least a 3 day tour. If you would like a rich experience and sample all the region has to offer, then a 5 day Similan Liveaboard trip is perfect.

The real benefit of liveaboard trips over day trips is the chance to see more of the islands and truly enjoy the evenings on the Andaman sea. There are generally more dives per day and the chance to get to know your fellow divers. In addition getting to know your staff also means they can better cater to your needs. On good Similan Liveaboard tours you will also get the chance to visit the islands, snorkel and experience the islands first hand.

Wicked Diving

Wicked Diving is a small dive center based in Khao Lak, Thailand. As an ecologically award-winning operation, Wicked Diving is proud to offer a full selection of both PADI and SSI courses – from trying out diving for the very fist time to Instructor Training Courses. The only Similan Diving center with a Dive Medic, 2 Instructor Trainers on staff offers guests the highest standards and safety.

Operating two ecologically friendly liveaboards and also longtails, Similan Diving just got easier. Not only that Wicked Diving works with local charities to improve both the marine environment and communities. Not satisfied with donating 10% of profits, staff of this Khao Lak Diving center also actively participate in projects in the region.
