MV Trident in dry dock whilst we go cave diving

The last time the Trident went to yard we were bored stupid, then when she came back the weather was horrible for another month.

This season, around November/December we plan to use our down time more constructively and do some cave training and hopefully see some of the caves we have in the south of Thailand.

Apparently these caves are impressive and rarely dived, a bit like our wrecks.

We’ve just come back from our exploratory trip.

The lake is huge and the water 90m at it’s deepest. this could be a great alternative to Trident live-aboards when the weather is bad . There’s apparently a temple and school in about 50m which could be interesting. We've had a dive in the area recently and found clear cold water at depth so this will be an interesting search, never found a temple before.

The caves we saw were very pretty, maximum depth was about 30m but these are proper caves and need cave certification to dive. I was expecting terrible visibility and crawling around tiny spaces but his wasn’t the case, the water was clear and the caves at least as big as a maru’s hold!

If you’re cave certified we could organise a quick trip before or after a Trident trip, if you’re not certified we can organise training too.
