If there’s one activity that must be experienced in southern Thailand, it’s scuba diving. My friend Sean Aiken put together this excellent short film showcasing his own underwater adventure from spring 2006.
A warning: if you are currently living in a cold climate (like myself) this film will induce a strong urge to flee the icy streets of your own town and book a flight to warmer waters.
But in Sean’s case, the tropics were not all leisure and sun. He also spent some time volunteering at a Burmese refugee camp in Mae Sot, a sobering experience and compelling article not to be missed.
For further adventures with Sean, check out his profile here.

hi trip, glad you like the video. even though i spent time in southeast asia myself, i never did a full scuba dive (stuck with snorkeling). i told myself they are basically the same thing — that is, until i saw sean’s video here. now i’m wishing i had splurged for the whole scuba adventure.

I’ve never had a scuba dive before. It’s really amazing on what you can see and experience on a different realm in our world.
Very nice video indeed.↵ -
A good friend of mine came back home enthusing about Thailand scuba diving and the video is certainly enticing – will have to start saving for yet another trip!
