You might bump into Lambchop out there! You will easily be able to tell who he is, as he will be the lanky Scott with his arm in plaster


I have never been though.

I don't think nows the best time of year to go to the Indian Ocean area. Feb/March is better. I think now is their rainy season.

Your not the only one!

We're getting married on the 5th Aug (less than 2 weeks away!) then jetting off to my dad's place in Thailand.

I'ts not the wedding that I'm dying for a break from...........it's the refurbing of our new (old) house and NEED to get OUT of the in-laws ASAP!!!!!

are you going to meeru?

because alot of the reefs are only knee deep in water ,the one off meeru outside the resturant is amazing, i saw a moray eel, and lots of 4-5 ft reef shraks about 20 meters from the beach

and to see dolphins a sunset punch cruise is the way to go ,its basicly a dolhin cruise! free if you are all inclusive, otherwise just a few dollars

no i dont think it is the same one ,but all islands will offer similar trips etc ,and sharks and dolphins are always nearby,

we saw a loggerhead turtle too

we went with three things we wanted to see, a big shark ,a dolphin, and a turtle,

the sharks are always around you will see them close up all the time ,some small, but some BIG!

dolphins are about half mile off the islands and in large packs of about 60, they swim and play infront of the boat!

and turtles are easy to spot when diving ,we saw ours when on a boat trip, apparently they let you touch them under the water
