[edit] Island Vinnie's
Great news that he got it open! They were talking about it when I was there in March... is it safari-style tents the way they had planned? Is there a restaurant or one being planned? Anyone got specifics on the prices? And where is it in relation to Wild Orchid or Orient Legend? Further towards the center or out towards Emerald Gecko? Cacahuate 01:21, 29 October 2006 (EST)
[edit] Map
So I made a map... if anyone sees anything that needs to be added, let me know and I'll stick it in. I think it covers what's in the article now, but the article is lacking a few things... , there's more sleep options, etc... we don't have anything in at all that's up near Beach #1, and there are a few people who like to stay up there for some reason. There may be more things up in that area too that are worth noting, but I was literally only there when I arrived and again a month later when I left so I didn't look around really.
Some trails could be added, like the one to Elephant Beach from the Radhanagar road. And there's another little place to stay along the road about 1/2 way between the beach and village #3 junction... but I can't remember the name and it's not in the article.
What's south of Emerald Gecko? I didn't go down there, but heard people talking about a couple trails or something, maybe to some limestone caves? And that you could see a couple elephants down there on someones property? Anything else? If you talk me through it I'll add that stuff to the map, tell me in detail where to put it or do it yourself if you know Inkscape or can mock it up for me in photoshop or Corel Draw or something.
Thanks! – cacahuate talk 18:47, 29 April 2007 (EDT)

[edit] Andaman Dive Club
When I was there last year these guys had gone out of business long ago... has that changed? Did they reopen? Their website is still up, but I'd be surprised if they're up and running again... I think they were kicked out of India for working on tourist visas or something like that. Anyone know? – cacahuate talk 22:32, 21 May 2007 (EDT)
- Andaman Dive Club [1] is located at Beach #1.
I took it out for now, I'm fairly sure it didn't reopen. Let me know if I'm mistaken – cacahuate talk 02:04, 22 May 2007 (EDT)
[edit] Silver Sand
If you describe to me where it is exactly in location to the other places in the area then I can add it to the map too... Also I noticed on their website that they offer scuba diving, did they set up their own operation with their own boats or are they just referring people to Dive India or Barefoot? – cacahuate talk 00:50, 17 March 2008 (EDT)
[edit] Map additions
I've added Silver Sand and Mahua to the map... having not been to either of these, I think I got their locations pretty well, but let me know if they should be positioned differently... thanks! – cacahuate talk 21:05, 25 June 2008 (EDT)
