Scuba Trip reviews with Photos of the resort and underwater Photos!

A picture is worth a 1000 words, so pictures will tell the story.  Better scuba reviews allow you to spend you hard earn vacation money smarter.  Pictures are only worthwhile when they are taken by actual vacationers and are not photoshopped.

Actual View from Silver Resortel

During a recent stay in Patong, we book a room at the Silver Resortel.  The website showed a large room with what appeared to be a beach view.  The hotel was 2 blocks from the beach .  The 1st Photo on the left is taken from the 3rd floor.   The beach is out there about 2 blocks through the buildings.

After several  scuba trips using the advice from the largest scuba review magazine that turned out to be bad, I started Scuba Trip Review.  My goal is to provide an unbiased review of resorts the islands and the underwater world for experienced scuba divers. Scuba Trip Reviews with Pictures!

Scuba magazines will never tell the truth as they are paid by the resorts and dive operators via their ads.  All scuba magazine articles talk about how wonderful things are.  Magazines offer positive articles on their best advertisers.  The more an island, resort or scuba operator advertises, the more they talk about it. How many articles have you read that mentioned negative things about a scuba operator, resort, island or even gear?

Scuba forums  and sites are patrolled by vendors who will post misleading information and defend their business viciously.  Do not trust what you read on forums.  It is very common to ask a question on a forum and you get 20 people stating how great it is and 2 who say the opposite.  Many times the 2 are the correct voices and are out numbered by the vendors.

So how can you trust a review. With pictures from people who actually went there. See it for yourself. No more professional pictures of hotels. No more photoshopped pictures of hotel rooms. See it the way it is.

If you have a camera, take a few extra photos of the room, bathroom, restaurant, resort and dive boat.  All photos help.  A few underwater shots are good as well.  A few pictures and a short review will help others make their decision easier.
