Diving in the world 3 Where to go ?

WHERE TO GO ?

The first thought was,  I begin close,  leaving home walking to the train station to France first destination and first stop in Le Lot caves. It would be nice to beginning here, and next running north for caves in Scotland and wrecks too, my third objective, but for sea diving, in winter is not possible. All diving centers are closed in this period until spring.

 May be, if I do all as I planned I could manage this route when I come back.

Thinking about second objective the sharks, specially tiger, that is missing in my work, I thought in South Africa, good season for tiger encounters in Durban, but the difficulty from home to arrange a cave diving in South Africa and Namibia before departing, and the line of reasoning that I was there in 2009 for white shark cage diving, make decide me, to start from another continent.

ASIA

A great part of Asia is unknown to me,  so it’s fine beginning here,  and is too big,  and maybe there are some places to see for divingintheworld targets, but I can’t visit all of course.

I’m not sure, but may be here, we could find two or three top ten dive sites?… Maldives, (yes of course! I’ve been at that place) Sipadan in Borneo, Malaysia? Philippines?

As I said my target is not the coral and fish but, if I have the oportunity I’lI have a look too.

Finally, I found a good fare plane ticket to Bangkok and I’ll take a look underwater sea of Vietnam, as first destination and never been before, then Cambodia and  finally of this first travel part, Thailand.

To avoid going back home in few days for bankrupt, I must look at my expenses. I don’t receive from the ECB financing me, of course, and I’d like to dive in the 5 continents.

Airplane tickets and diving will be the most significant part of the budget, several countries to visit and many dives to do, so a good  expense for every day would be 50 euros, 57 USD, but I’ll try to be realistic and I calculate around 62euros 72usd per day. It would be fine, considering more than 50 % of disbursements on fly and dive.

Now may be is easier,  because of the low cost Airlines companies almost everywhere.

For diving doesn’t change. When you do technical dive or you go to remote o special places is expensive, but of course studying previously all chances of the place you go you can considerable reduce the cost.

We’ll see!!
