Degrassi

I'm working in S.Korea at the moment, and have just found out I get a week vacation next month.

I'm debating between
Thailand, Vietnam and The Philippines.

I want to get scuba certified, see some sights, enjoy some good food, relax, but not party too too hard.

Thailand's always been at the top of my list, and I know I can dive there, but I'd be going pretty much on my own. I've travelled alone before (7 months), so it isn't a dealbreaker, but I tthink some cpompany would be nice this time around.

Vietnam's also somewhere I've wanted to see, although not as much as Thailand. There are some co-workers going, and willing to hang around a beach and wait for me to get certified. What's the diving like there?

The Philippines are somewhere I've never really thought about, but the dude who's going also wants to get his scuba certification, but I don't know too much about the country, or what there is that I'm dying to see there.

I know this is kind of sketchy and vague, but this is all kind of sudden, and there are no bookshops to go sit and browse though the LPs.

So. Thoughts on any of these countries? How close are the diving beaches to the cities? Where would you go if you had one week?


Cheers.
Dana
