Check out scuba diving off the coast of Phuket, Thailand in the Similan Islands. Did it in 2009 on a 5-day live aboard dive boat. Amazing diving in the open ocean off the coast of Thailand. Swam with 25' whale sharks and 10-12' manta rays -- all in the wild; not some caged underwater zoo theme park. Service was phenomenal; price was outrageously cheap at the height of the ecomomic meltdown. Prices are still very good.
