Netnawee Similan overnight trip 21/01/08


This was a trip that would prove to be special...

Firstly a big congratulations to our dive master trainee Beyla who came with us on this trip to complete the last few tests to gain status as divemaster. During the trip Beyla had to carry out a number of swim tests, involving a 400m swim, 800m snorkel and a 150m diver tow, as can be seen in the picture. In this case, for Klaus pretending to be a tired diver, the swim seemed to be even more tiring for him than for Beyla!



Beyla who has been with us for 2 months completing her divemaster course and has come a long way since first walking into Wicked. She has gained lots of experience above and below the surface and will most definately become a brillant divemaster. With only a few things left to do until her course is complete, she is almost a fully certified divemaster and everyone at Wicked wishes her the best of luck in the future.











This trip also saw Michelle gaining her open water certificate and Nicoletta completing a Discover Scuba Diving program both taught by Tuk. Michelle proved to be a fish in the water! All the other guests on the boat had an excellent trip and saw lots of great things throughout the trip. Sebastian, Stephan and Chris (in picture with Becky and Oscar) were some of the divers who joined us on this trip and saw plenty of wicked things below the surface. Some of the divers were lucky enough to have the company of a Manta Ray on their last dive at Koh Bon. Koh Bon is famous for it's visiting Manta Rays who come here to feed on the plankton in the water. It swam around with the divers for a few minutes and then shot off into the blue, a very special moment for everyone...
