1) Medical Certificates and Diving

We recommend all customers to have a medical check before diving, and can email a diving medical form to you for your Doctor to sign before traveling. In some cases a diving medical certificate is mandatory, after an operation, or heart or lung problems, or previous serious injury or certain allergies etc… Please note this must be a medical certificate specifically allowing you to take part in recreational scuba diving with out restrictions and dated within the last 30 days.

2) The changing seasons and Diving

At some time towards the end of April our season will normally change, with the wind direction moving from the South East to North West. This causes the sea conditions and wave movement to alter in the Andaman Sea, combined with higher and lower tides on the beaches of Koh Lanta. At some time during this period we will need to remove our eco friendly floating jetty in front of the resort, and make other arrangements for diving excursions, as it will not be possible to depart direct from Pimalai .............. All customers should be aware that it is not always possible to go diving during this period, or may involve car transfers and other delays due to logistical problems.

PLEASE NOTE IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO PREDICT WHEN THE WEATHER CONDITIONS WILL CHANGE, IT COULD BE ANY TIME IN APRIL OR MAY............
