Thailand Cave Diving Guides

[moody]

Hey, was thinking of maybe trying to put together an exotic cave diving trip to Thailand, looking for some solid guides, maybe Phuket based and any first hand accounts of what their systems are like, any help appreciated, thanks.

There is few dive centers that can you take to caves (http://www.tech-ccr.com/) , but not very long linear penetrations, more like swiss cheese cavern diving. There is few shallow ones in Khao Sok and deeper ones are Song Hong and few others

A Day or two in Khao Sok is not to bad, the other systems go deeper quite fast

This guy does a lot of cave exploration in Thailand.

I took my CCR training from him a couple years ago, seems pretty squared away.

Thanks for the info, I will reach out to Matt and see what's what. Hopefully there are some decent enough caves out there to warrant the trip!

Well I have several suggestions for you. All are familiar with the cave systems and visit them on a regular basis. I spend a fair amount of time in Thailand diving and have been to all those caves and some others and can speak from first hand knowledge. If you would like more answers go ahead and pm me. If you going to Thailand during the May thru Sept period I would also suggest you consider some of the deep world war 2 wreck diving.
