Liveaboard (Nov. 18-23)




The Similan Islands were so cool! I saw so much!! Numerous rare fishes, a wreck, a leopard shark and an octopus to name just a few. Made it to the reknowed Richelieu Rock -basically it's a pinnacle in the Andaman Sea with little else around it -the Captain had to negotiate some tricky weather conditions to get us there.

The tour operator came highly recommended and did not disappoint -there was a very high level of environmental care, fastidious attention to safety, enthusiasm for diving, and really good food.

Met a lot of cool people and am arranging to meet up with two British fellows this evening.

An octopus! That would be neat. Sounds like you're having a great time.
