Diving Losin, Pattani, Thailand
We dove with Dive Indeed aboard the MV Tapana at Losin, Pattani. Best diving conditions we've had in quite some time.
This 19th century British map shows Losin as being part of Malaysia. It is abbreviated as Po. Lozin. The Po. stands for Pulo which is an old word for island in Malaysian and Indonesian.
Chart of the Losin pinnacle area. The northern pinnacle reaches the surface and has a warning light. The southern pinnace is not visible from the surface.

We saw a Whale Shark on the first day. Here a free diver has a look.

Songkhla
The boat is based at Songkhla harbor. Songkhla is an old city with an interesting history. Before the boat departed we took a short trip around the old town.
Songkhla port is home to many boats working in the oil drilling industry.
Songkhla has lots of interesting street art
