Diving at Similans (Nov. 9-13)


Had a great dive trip to the Similan and Surin National Parks. Saw so much including octopodes, Napoleon Wrass, a seahorse and the elusive Ghost Pipe Fish! Beside the rare finds, the underwater landscape is simply stunning - swimming through it is a pleasure. It was nice to see that Khao Lak Scuba Adventures continues to operate in a manner that stresses marine conservation above all else.

After 4 days of diving (aka accumulating nitrogen) including early wake-up calls, I was ready for some down time! I got dropped off in Kata Beach, one of Phuket's most southern spots, which looks fine for a few days. Had a lovely tom yum goong (spicy shrimp soup) and fell into bed totally knackered.
