i suppose i was spoilt after having done OW & AOW with one-on-one instructor....

Couldn't really name names even if I wanted to Yobbo.....it was quite a while ago...but the jist of it was that quite a few people got sick onboard from their air and with my experoience I knew it wasn't good......due to taste and almost immediate headache.....I came up after 10 minutes.......these guys went into full on denial mode despite 4 of us refusing to dive after the first dive and then they wouldn't give our money back......I don't need to be crapped on twice.....I get the message after the first time........
As far as Mermaids go......well check out there site it says it all.....I just know and trust them..but I don't have any affiliation with them nor can I guarantee tha my experiences with them will be the same as for everyone who comes after me....In fact when I dive with them I go with another Dive Centre.....Moose Divers in Jomtien....as Claese the owner there is my buddy and uses their boats.......as do a couple of other dive centres.........If you book with Mermaids you will definitely go on one of their boats with one of their qualified guides and you will not have more than 4 people in your group....that is their m.o.....same can't be said for almost anybody else in that business in the area.....
