WICKED DIVING SIMILAN ISLANDS LIVEABOARD TRIP #6 The trip of TURTLES!

A little backlogging going on here, Tuk has been on land and updating our trip logs to share with everyone on the blog!! THANKS TUK!!


The Wicked MV Angel Parinee set off to the Similans for 3days of diving heaven. On board this time around Trip leader Tuk and wicked staff instructor Robyn (oh, yea and DMT Erik, and Dan our video guru), started the trip with Anita's Reef - also know as Eel Garden.


We'd like to thank Kelly and Rich for adding some comedy to our travels, as well as congratulate Kelly on being a new Open Water Diver! Nicely done.

Rich added a little flair to the trip with a motorbike injury that required Dr. Tuk's magic powers of bandaging before every dive. "Stay off those bikes Rich!"

Jan and his mate from Germany, poor Jake was so excited to come diving and use his MONSTER underwater camera and special bag - that he suffered through sea-sickness and joined us for all the dives...including the surface interval snorkeling ...with turtles around every corner.

The divesites we did on this trip were:
West of Eden, Shark Fin Reef, Breakfast Bend, North Point, Donald Duck Bay (for the night dive and ohhhh yes..the sleeping turtle), Elephant Head Rock...LOVE those Clown Trigger Fish, and of course a lovely dive on East of Eden to wrap up our time in the Similans! On the way home we also hit the BonSoong Wreck - a favorite of everyone's in the area because of the amount of marine life you can see in one spot!


We would also like to give a special mention to Alex...a returning guest from Koh Tao who brought a friend, Timea who came along this time around-(sea sickness wasn't bother you AT ALL!,eh?) so he could share the diving experience in the Similans with his friends! Nice to have
you back, come see us again soon!

And you!, thank you very big! DMT. Erik, for your help and company. Rock on, mate!
