Another full trip of customer eager to sample the delights of the Similan islands. Leaving Tamp Lamu pier in blistering heat and sun it was great to get off land and onto the ocean with its nice cool breeze and beautiful sunset.
Day 1 started with a great check dive at East of Eden. With the visibility approximately 20m and lots of fish action it was a great dive to start the trip. Later we moved over to the western side of island number 7 to West of Eden. For our 3rd dive we went to Elephant head Rock (Aka Hin Pusa) where we experienced some strong currents. Nevertheless it was a great dive to experience the swim throughs and vast amounts of fish and small critters. After the dive we then went for beach time which we had all to ourselves. It was perfect for a little less heat as the sun dropped below the island. The night dive was then at Beacon reef where we came across some interesting thing like rare Nudibranch/Pleurobranch and Lobsters. One of which staff and customers were saying it was the biggest they had ever seen. (Pictures Please..???)
For the second day we went to North Point for our first dive which bought up a range of small critters and a turtle. We then headed up north to Koh Bon for 2 day dives to hopefully catch a glimpse of the Manta rays. Unfortunately though although 2 nice dive the mantas must have been off having a party somewhere else. We also did the night dive at koh Bon which is an amazing dive normally but with no current it was a great dive.

Day 3 started with 2 dives at Richelieu Rock which showed it normal rich numbers of Barracuda and big schools of different fish as well its rarer smaller creatures. We then moved down to Koh Tachai to where we came across rare lionfish, leopard sharks and one group even seeing a manta ray. We also did the same night dive at Koh Tachai where we came across some HUGE barracuda hunting fusiliers.Day 4 bought a morning dive on Koh Tachai pinnacle which was a lovely colourful dive with lots to see including very big groupers! Then we came to the final dive closer into land at the Boonsung wreck. This dive was a very funny dive yielding many thing including stonefish, ghost pipe fish, rare nudibranch, baby morays and huge puffer fish. A great ending to a great trip.
