Christmas Diving
Christmas is always a special time whether you spend it back home with friends and family or on a Liveaboard on the beautiful Similan Islands. Our special 4 day Xmas trip on Angel Parinee was not an exception. 
Santa and his weird friend showed up and gave Pavel Jr a good laugh.
Our awesome cook “ “ prepared a lovely Xmas dinner in the evening much appreciated by everyone.
Day 2 started off with the dive site “Mysterious Point”. The guests got 3 different briefings and had to guess the dive site after coming up from the dive, then we draw a winner and the lucky person was Monika who won a Wicked t-shirt.
The dive site was North Point and it was a beautiful dive where everyone got to see Hawksbill Turtles feeding algees on the coral.
Other diving highlights of the trip was as usual Richelieu Rock where we found Tigertail seahorses, Big school of Barracudas and an unexpected visit of 4 meter wide Manta.
Other special sightings was a Ribbon Eel, Blacktip Reef Sharks, Leopard Shark, biggest Banded Seasnake ever and a big school of Dolphins on the way back to Koh Bon. Also of course people diving with Santa hats.
There were a lot of games going on on the boat. The usual Werewolf of course were Monika were werewolf twice with her defense speech “I don’t really understand this game…”. We had a failed attempt of snowmen competition on the Surin beach, JP was the winner and only competitor while Christine misunderstood the game and made a “snow” turtle instead, Pavel Jr were entertaining everyone with his Jojo.
Pavel Sr took out his toothbrush and finished everyone off real quick in the toothbrush game. Len, Sze Lyn, Ishan and Hamza did the second briefing on Koh Bon. Ishan won the prize for most professional while Len got the entertaining award.
The trip ended after a beautiful dive on the local wreck Boonsung and everyone was satisfied and no one really missed Xmas at home.
Happy Holidays and enjoy your new year!
