Similan Diving Safaris are no stranger to seeing the harmful impacts that ghosts nets (abandoned nets) leave on marine wildlife. Just last year in October on a liveaboard trip to the Similan Islands, divers removed an 80 metre net which had been discarded. Unfortunately during the first liveaboard trip in October this year, another abandoned net was discovered. Covering around 25 metres, divers were able to quickly free the net from the corals suffocating underneath.

First Live Aboard Trip of the season
The first Live Aboard just came back from the Similan Islands! With more than 20m visibility, everybody on the Dolphin Queen had 14 fantastic dives. In between the dives we spend some time on the beach were we also did a Beach Clean up. elieve it or not we even had some hours of sunshine!
Similan Diving Safaris is taking it serious with our efforts to help protect the ocean!The fishing net we found at Beacon Reef at around 20m. It took us 15min to remove the net safely from the corals. Fortunately the net was there for only a couple of days so it did no damage to the sea life.
We would like to thank all our customers for a perfect first trip and we hope to see everyone again here at Similan Diving Safaris!
