Sea Dragon Khao Lak

Has anyone heard anything about Sea Dragon Dive Centre based in Khao
Lak? I was hoping to go out for some diving with them in a couple of
months.

Hi Nick,

This is a mail I received from Seadragon yesterday:

-------
From: Sea Dragon Dive Center
To: Thierry Decoussemaeker
Sent: Wednesday, January 05, 2005 2:02 PM
Subject: Your booking with Sea Dragon 11 Jan, 2005


Dear Thierry,

We were all very lucky here at Sea Dragon and as you might have seen on our
website, all Sea Dragon's staff, boats, boat crew and office were
miraculously saved. After a week of trauma and heartbreak, we are now trying
to reorganise ourselves a little, and our long term plan is to remain in
Khao Lak and hopefully contribute to rebuilding the community and local
area. Our Thai staff and other local people are now returning and are
anxiously discussing their future. If Sea Dragon can continue to operate, we
will be helping them to secure a future for themselves and their families.

Our hope is to start running trips again from the 11th of January and
therefore we are now asking you if you would still like to join us on the
trip that you were booked on. The booking was for the Andaman (4d/4n),
departing on the 11th of January. Please revert to us as soon as possible if
you would like to keep your booking as the best support we can receive is
for you to continue diving with us. With so many loyal return customers, we
can begin to reassure the local people that a future here is not
unimaginable.

If you decide to come out with us we recommend that you arrange
accommodation in Phuket and we will arrange transfer for you from Phuket to
the boat on the day of departure. We are sorry that we haven't been able to
get back to you any sooner, but
communications have been down since the tidal wave hit and we still have no
phone lines in Khao Lak.


With kind regards,

Rebecka Isaksson

Great news, thanks. I hope you're able to get out there and enjoy some
diving.
