August 2010-2009-2008

August was a typical August: some bright and sunny days, some days with a bit of rain, and also some overcast days. But only two really rainy days.
With a slight breeze the weather was most of the time very good for diving, we experienced just five days with strong winds.
August was not very wet and a bit cooler than in some previous years, which was excellent for the health of the corals. Still some coral bleaching can be seen at Racha Yai, but the weather cooled down before real damage could be done.
On all days the diving boats could go to all destinations.
