Thailand Liveaboards. Liveaboard diving Similan Islands, Hin Daeng, Hin Muang, Koh Ha, Surin Islands and Richelieu Rock.
A beautiful sunrise welcomed us to the Similans. The Hawksbill Turtle we usually meet at our secret dive site, was social as usual and we enjoyed the 40 meter visibility!
As always Island #9 had great conditions, with a lazy Leopard Shark, 4 Turtles and plenty of schooling fish. Afternoon dive at the Three Trees, with schools of small colorful fish.
Koh Bon next, and another dive with several Leopard Sharks. Gin clear water, and plenty of schooling fish.
Further up north is Koh Tachai, with the normal, strong current bringing in lots of life. The Batfish cleaning station is fun to see! And another of those Turtles Sunset dive with an inquisitive Eagle Ray!
Last stop before turning south again is Richelieu Rock. Big school of Chevron Barracudas in the shallows, lots of {Big-eye Trevallies, Snappers, Nudibranches, a Cuttlefish, Ghost Shrimps and a rare Zebra Moray Eel|Snappers, Nudibranches, a Cuttlefish, Ghost Shrimps, Big-eye Trevallies, and also a rare Zebra Moray Eel! And another of those Turtles
A very atmospheric dusk dive at Koh Bon, with a Devil Ray and a school of young Batfish concluded the third day.
Fourth, and unfortunately the last, day of the trip started with a dive at island #9 in the Similans. Whitetip Shark, schools of fish and a very scenic dive indeed. Grand Finale at Huge Moray Eels, Ribbon Eels, Mantis Shrimps, Jawfish and Nudibranchs at Sharkfin Reef.
Nice conditions all the way back to Patong.
