okay, so I'm looking at going to Thailand with a friend in late April/early May. We want to do a padi open water diving course, but we're both studying in China right now, and are fairly strapped for cash. Anyone know of any good diving places that will be relatively cheap? All of the stuff I've found so far seems to run about 300CAD which is a bit much for my budget.

All right, thanks guys. If the price is gonna be about the same everywhere, any recommendations on where to go? General consensus is Koh Tao, but from my understanding there's a load of places to choose from. Davy Jones' Locker looks slightly cheaper than a few of the other places, any reviews of that?

Seems I missed most of the Koh Tao talk, but I'm looking at heading out there in June. Do prices for rooms go down at all (I'm hoping to find something in the 500-1000baht range that doesn't involve me sleeping in a dorm)? And I assume the diving won't be quite as good then, but is it still decent?
