SEAP Southeast Asia Pilot-1

Anchorage symbols in Southeast Asia Pilot

We use a system of symbols to indicate facilities, services and circumstances at each of the featured anchorages.

Obviously, almost everything changes over time, so you may find one or two of the anchorages you visit don’t match precisely what we have included in the book. If that is the case, we would really appreciate you taking a few minutes to let us know.

Email us at feedback@southeastasiapilot.com and, if possible, we will update the website within a week – and the book at the next revision

Locations where coral, fish life, and underwater topography create an interesting dive site within easy reach of the anchorage.

Telephone

Telephone

All but the really remote anchorages will have some form of cell phone signal, but it is impossible to keep up to date with the rapid developments in this respect. As a guide, if there is any form of habitation, there will usually be at least a basic cell phone signal.
