Another trip!
On this - our 17th similan diving safari of the year, we were joined by Annelie and Peter, two professional freedivers.
Whilst the two of them are competitive freedivers this trip was all about fun for them! All of the scuba divers on board got to get a glimpse of them as they swam
around underwater and took quite a few other divers by surprise.Both Peter and Annelie were able to spend plenty of time under the water and see as much as all the divers did spending a few minutes down there at a time without any scuba gear at all!
Klaus, Becky (me!) and Oscar were on the trip and joined by our new Thai instructor Tuk. Tuk is a very experienced diver and him and his group were lucky enough to see a manta ray just outside honeymoon bay on a night dive! Very unusual, and needless to say the whole group was over the moon about this rare sighting.
Whilst everyone on the boat didn't get to see the Manta Ray there were plenty of other underwater treats in store for the divers. A couple of leopard sharks were seen swimming around, this is quite unusal as usually these sharks are just lying on the sandy bottom, usually they swim around at night when they are going hunting. Wally one of our fun divers and Mel our dive master in training
were both very excited about this sighting as you can see from the picture.
At the end of the day before the divers are transfer to the islands there is plenty of time to relax and catch up on the days events and the different things that have been seen by everyone under the water.Khao Lak Diving
